Where do you get your protien?

You can check out my diary. Typically at 130-170.

Here is a synopsis to start with: Eggs, yoghurt, milk including goats milk, nuts, cheese including feta and goats cheese, white meat, fish, occasionally red meat, and pulses such as peas, beans, chick-peas, aduki beans, etc

1. Breakfast - eggs or yoghurt/ milk. Tried some goats milk to avoid excessive cows dairy.
Sometimes put a slice of cheese in scrambled egg. Love eggs

Sometimes add nuts to porridge or homemade muesli (using dry oats as a base)

Do oats have protein?


2. Lunch. Fish, chicken or pulses. Love my beans. Have tried sugar snap peas or mangetout in salads. Love chickpeas and as someone else suggested, hummous, which is made from them. Also cannelini beans and aduki beans, in salads or soups. often eat sardines with a salad. Can be quite filling.

Chick peas make salads alot more yummy.

3. Dinner.

Really like nuts in meals. Find its the best way to eat nuts as they can be fierce addictive and full of calories on their own.
Also throw in some pulses with a vegetarian meal, ie the peas and beans mentioned before. Cheese including goats cheese and feta v lovely too.

Sometimes eat red meat for dinner, maybe twice a week, or a nice piece of Fish.

4. Snack. Slice of cheese on low cal cracker. Surprisingly filling. Fruit and nut mix, though this is dangerous for me, I get addicted! Also, hot chocolate has milk! A naughtier treat, which actually has protein :-)


I tried a vegan diet for a couple of weeks. Learnt alot about vegetarian proteins. I tend to go over protein limit, take what you wish from this.

Wow, why so high? Mine only says 38 for protein. Am I doing something wrong?
