Optimum Nutrition sells it in a can.0

Cottage cheese, greek yogurt, beef, pork, fish...
why so much protein then?0 -
Exactly....50 grams plus the 8 in milk when mixed with 2 scoops of protein powder.0
-
Pouches of tuna are a great source of protein with very few calories and I dont' think any carbs.0

I was pretty surprised at how much protein is in a glass of skim milk! seriously, it can make a big difference, also, try getting some low fat spaghetti sauce, no meat added, and throw in a half a can of "rinsed" chick peas or lentils or my favourite lima beans, add some light parmesan cheese, whatever vegetables you want and go that route, it's awesome!0

I just started having a protein shake an hour after my morning workout (50g) also I changed some of my snacks - I will have chicken cutlet wrapped in lettuce or just plain - I'm learning as I go - last week I had a "fish week" lunch and dinner but I would say do the protein shake.....0

Quinoa....pron: key noir0

A can of tuna has 37g of protein and only 140 cals.0

Optimum nutrition gold standard whey, great flavor and mixes easy.0
-
I small can of tuna has 100 cals and 22 g of protein.
If you mix it with hard boiled eggs your protein will go up even more and for not many calories0 -
Not my fav... but Tuna.. One can has 42g of protien and 0 carbs.0

Hi
I am a high protein/low carber too and I tend to eat the same foods everyday as I know they work for me. They include smoked salmon, tuna, tofu, fat free yoghurt, cottage cheese, salmon fillets and nuts as a treat. I don't eat meat (Only fish as I am a pescatarian) but seem to get all my protein every day.
I hope this helps.0 -
Quinoa, I use it in recipes that I would have used pasta or rice in the past. It's delicious, and really filling!0
-
voskos yogurt (9 carbs 23 g protein), 4 egg whites 1 yolk, isoflex protein shakes (27g zero carbs).... After my morning workout- these are my 3 GO TO foods. excellent source of protein in all!0
-
Mmmmmm... yum, I've having a tuna sandwich for lunch today now! Thanks for the reminder I've been craving fish like crazy.0
-
turkey is the best for meats, cottage cheese, eggs but be careful for the fat, eventually go for two whites for one yolk.
Peas/beans. Soy products.
Kashi go lean cereals can pack a good 13g of proteins, that's a good start in the morning.
Of course whey protein can help you as well, but I try to keep it low, I dont want to depend on it.
best option for me is dry pressed cottage with low sodium, it's one of the easiest add on to reach that goal0 -
Thanks everyone! Jeez I love this site, it's so nice feeling like other people CARE that I'm working on losing weight.
So the results are in.....(drum roll please)
PROTEIN POWDER IT IS!!0 -
Shrimp, Greek Yougart, Kashi Go Lean are my favs.. canned chicken or tuna, lunch meat0
-
What everyone else has said. I eat tuna, eggs, chicken, cottage cheese, low fat or fat free greek yoghurt and protein shakes!!0

Add a protein powder shake and ½ can of tuna as a snack, it's delicious with a 1/4 tsp of hot sauce. Nuts and beans are sources of protein but they are equally sources of carbs so personally, I feel their benefit is counteracted by their carbs hence why it's hard for vegetarians to be very lean. I feel the same way about Greek yogurt b/c in order for it to not taste like unflavored mush you need to add fruit or buy the fruit kinds and then that ads 20+g of carbs.0
