*Selection Tips
Choose lean or low-fat meat and poultry. If higher fat choices are made, such as regular ground beef (75 to 80% lean) or chicken with skin, the fat counts against your maximum limit for empty calories (calories from solid fats or added sugars).
If solid fat is added in cooking, such as frying chicken in shortening or frying eggs in butter or stick margarine, this also counts against your maximum limit for empty calories (calories from solid fats and added sugars).
Select some seafood that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, herring, Pacific oysters, and Atlantic and Pacific mackerel.
Processed meats such as ham, sausage, frankfurters, and luncheon or deli meats have added sodium. Check the Nutrition Facts label to help limit sodium intake. Fresh chicken, turkey, and pork that have been enhanced with a salt-containing solution also have added sodium. Check the product label for statements such as “self-basting” or “contains up to __% of __”, which mean that a sodium-containing solution has been added to the product.
Choose unsalted nuts and seeds to keep sodium intake low.

Also Greek Yogurt and cottage cheese are good sources of protein. I have found some protein bars pretty yummy. The Perfect Zone bars and Supreme Protein bars are good. Also, Dymatize ISO-100 protein powder is good. It's only 106 calories, 1 carb, 0 cholesterol, 50 sodium and 24 proteins.

"Hair falling out in globs." That is a symptom of hypothyroidism. You need some blood tests.

Agreed. My sister in law found out she had this. Her family practitioner said her thyroid levels were in the normal zone but when the Enocronologist looked at it they were in fact off. Def something to have checked.

My doctor wants me to take my vitamins and eat more protein. My hair is falling out in globs. I'm taking the vitamins daily. But as for protein? I'm not much of a cook and I can hardly stand the texture of red meat on my tongue. Any other suggestions?

chicken is a great source of protein, as well as greek yogurt, protein bars, nuts, beans

Protein shakes work for me. I can get a good amount of the protein I need from shakes and they come in some really great flavors. If you're interested at all send me a message and I will give you some of the "recipes" I have used that I enjoy. I hope you figure this out. Good luck!
