Hey there, I am new to the site! :smile:
I love getting the breakout of carbs, protein, fat, etc.
Everyday I noticed that I am low on protein, but slightly over the limit of fat. Any suggestions on some low fat high protein choices?

    Chicken, fish, turkey..those are all good choices, very low fat and high protein! Turkey and chicken w/o skin of course.

    I actually do more protein than what they suggest on here, almost twice as much. And if I'm needing protein I usually have string cheese, hard boiled eggs, shrimp, or I will do a shake with protein powder in it. oh yeah and tuna is a good source of protein too

    Beans and egg whites when you need a high protein to calorie ratio.

    I like to use eggs, some say more than one egg a week can be bad for cholesterol, I believe if the eggs are free range they aren't that bad, but a solution is to use one egg and add egg whites to them (purchased in bulk as they generally have a 2-3 mth self life)

    I don't believe research has shown any correlation between the dietary cholesterol in eggs and high cholesterol levels. It's like there was a big scare about it 15-20 years ago, and then everyone kind of forgot to tell us "Oops, nevermind! Eggs are really good for you."
    Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong.
