    just having a 95g mango chilli tuna with 60gm low fat cottage cheese - about 20gm protein. Doesn't hit the muscles as quickly as a protein (water mixed) which is what is needed post w/o as i understand it

    My wife is hypoglycemic and has been told she needs to consume an astronomical amount of protein for her size to prevent becoming a diabetic. She eats chicken and fish, but also supplements with Premier Protein shakes (http://premiernutrition.com/protein-shake.html) which she gets at Costco and are extremely easy since they are ready made and very portable. 30 grams of protein per shake. She keeps one or two in the car at all times for emergencies when her blood sugar is out of whack. I drink them too after a particularly heavy workout. In our opinion, stay away from the vanilla. But the chocolate is actually pretty good.

    As others have noted, she also eats Greek yogurt, and to give it extra protein oomph, adds NOW Foods egg white powder to it.

    Depending on your region, you may catch a sale on fish during this time of year. I just bought nearly 7 lbs of fresh, wild rockfish fillets for $4.50 a pound (labelled as "snapper", they are closely related. Sustainably line-caught, I called the store's HQ for VERY specific info on exact species and fishing methods. Never be afraid to ask questions about your food!). This runs equivalent to the absolute cheapest price I can find boneless, skinless chicken breast at, here. For 100g, the fish is 94 calories, 2g fat, 19g protein. Have to go portion and freeze a lot of it now, actually...
