Need Protein Ideas - Picky Eater

jennb78

I am struggling with protein. I do not eat seafood, pork (other than bacon & pepperoni), or eggs. I have a hard time staying full after breakfast because I usually have toast, waffle, or cereal. As for dinner chicken is yummy, but sometimes that gets old.
What are some other protein ideas? (ps. I do not like ground turkey or tofu)

I like baby Bel light. 50 cals per serving 6 g protein

nuts and seeds are excellent sources of protein and good fats - almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds

peanut butter (or almond butter)

lowfat dairy products (cheese, cottage cheese, milk)

Protein powders or bars (just be careful of the sugar content)

quinoa

What about turkey, ground or sliced, and maybe ground beef. Greek Yogurt is an excellent source of protein, as is cheese. I love string cheese. It's low in calories, but nutritionally very good. : )

i enjoy some turkey pepperoni now and then. A bit high in sodium, so watch that.

Beans/ legumes are an awesome source of protein! If you like savory stuff, try making a breakfast burrito with some beans and veggies. Someone else mentioned greek yogurt, which has a lot of protein in it as well- I used to sub it for mayo or other creamy things.

If you like sweet things for breakfast, there are also a number of protein shake mixes out there. I really like arbonne's vanilla flavor- I mix it with a frozen berry mix, some flax seed, half a banana and a little soy or almond milk and it keeps me full till lunch, even on busy days.

I have been having refried beans or other beans and drinking protein shakes on days that I'm low on protein. I have also been eating peanuts. I love mexican food, so I bought some flour tortillas and I put refried beans, fajita chicken strips, low fat cheese, and salsa in them.
