Adding more protein without adding fat and cals too

geekyjock76

Greek-style Yogurt and Cottage Cheese are very versatile while providing good amounts of protein at lower calories. Personally, I buy both Fage Total 0% and Total original (full-fat) varieties for various recipes. With those, you can create some rather delicious yet healthy deserts that will fill you up like a meal.

My breakfast for example is:
3 Eggland's Best Extra Large Eggs (can replace with Egg Whites to exclude fat)
1/2 cup Daisy Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup diced Strawberries
1/4 diced Ya Pear
1 teaspoon crushed Hazelnuts
1/2 teaspoon Saigon Cinnamon

I'm also doing a high-protein diet for 6 weeks while on a heavy lifting program, and it's really hard to consume 150 g of protein per day! I do really enjoy Jay Robb protein powders (whey and egg protein). I also keep hard boiled eggs and sustainably-caught tuna on hand, and I plan to make several batches of steamed shrimp with Old Bay seasoning.

Just have some turkey or chicken! Or any kind of non-processed meat! It's pure protein and tastes good.

But then you have the fat....

Shrimp. 6 oz shrimp (I buy the frozen already cooked kind that thaw quickly under warm water) 1 tsp of horseradish and 1 Tbl of ketchup for the cocktail sauce is 185 calories, 5 g carb, 2 g fat and a whopping 36 g protein. Most of the carbs are in the ketchup.

Pretty much any seafood:
Halibut
Tilapia
Bass
Crab
Tuna
Cod
Shrimp

Gelatin
Game meat (tends to be lower in fat)
Egg whites
Tofu

I've been mixing greek yogurt with protein powder for a "pudding" that works really well. I like the Cottage Cheese Ambrosia recipe!
