    Whatver you decide, I would definitely vote for getting protien, and all nutrients from real food. A couple less common suggestions, Kashi - Go Lean Crunch cereal with skim milk, a surprising 10 grams of protien, and lots of fiber too! Almonds are great too, a little high in calories, but a great source of protien and good fats.

    Thansk to all for the continued suggestions. Many of them sound really good. Lots of different thoughts out there and lots of good-sounding options. To the many who mentined Quest bars - I LOVE them and eat them when I'm hiking. But do not usually eat them as a meal at home.

    Why hasn't anybody else sais to try eating more meat? You eat some meat so you're not a vegetarian right? Why don't you add some lean steaks to your diet? Some yummy lean grass fed beef. A big hunk of steak has way more protein than any protein powder I've ever ate.

    Maybe it's just that I am from Texas, but I vote for BEEF ... slap a steak on the grill (yes, I know it's winter ... next lol ... use a George grill if you must) with some veggies. I use supplements occasionally, but opt for REAL MEAT most of the time. A juicy steak? Now, you are talking my language ... Heaven on earth

    Well maybe it's because I rarely eat steak but I always feel sick and bloated afterward. Unless I eat a very small one or maybe a little grilled sirloin on top of salad.

    I love nutritional yeast adds protein and can be added to popcorn and used on top of pasta love it! I also love cottage cheese, proteins powder, natural meats, egg whites, tuna ( I buy fresh raw and eat with Braggs soy sauce), salmon, and oysters.
