Sick and tired of protein... any advice?

bump for new ideas

I am really trying to get my protein up to around 110g but I AM SO SICK OF PROTEIN FOODS!!! Me and greek yogurt are still cool but chicken, turkey, egg whites,pork and protein shakes are definitely not friends anymore :noway: .
Any advice on how to switch it up?

chicken (many different dishes, stir fry, curry, spiced, smoked, bbqed, soups, etc)
turkey (many different dishes, soups, 'dry' deep fried, marinated, bbqed, sunday supers etc)
fish (many different dishes, pies, etc...I tend to only eat battered and deep fried)
beef (many different types, marinated steak, ribs, etc, many different dishes, smoked, BBQ and spicy dishes are my fave for this)
pork (many different dishes, marinated tend to be my fav for this)
egg (many different dishes, deviled, boiled, stir with chocolate protein powder and make a chocolate protein pancake etc)
milk
yogurt (I tend to use greek and flavor with fresh berries)
shakes (many flavors, tend to add fruit or spices)
nuts (almond, pine nuts, etc, tend to add them to salads and yogurts, spiced, roasted, and candied are my favs)
seeds (pumpkin is my fav, tend to add them to salads and yogurts, good roasted)
beans (kidney, soy, etc)
hummus (different flavors)
tofu
peanut or hazelnut spreads (add them to fruits, breads, shakes etc)

There's lots of options. I'd be here forever trying to list them all but there's my vague list.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE protein shakes... and my husband was insisting that I increase my protein intake. So I tried QUEST BARS instead. They are great! They are gluten free, have lots of fiber and at least 20g of protein per bar. They are good for something quick on the go after a work out or you can use them for breakfast like I do.

They taste best when you heat them up for about 10sec in the microwave - and they actually taste like the desserts that they say they do.

My favorite flavors: cinnamon bun, banana nut muffin, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate brownie, cookie dough, lemon cheesecake. But I encourage you to try each of the flavors yourself

I dunno, I think meat is awesome. You can do all kinds of things with it and it's all good. Herbs and spices are the friend of any dieter.

Sorry to hear about the epilepsy but it sounds like you're already doing a pretty good job

Cottage cheese?
Quinoa?

Are you eating the meats plain?

Because plain grilled chicken? Boring. Chicken with bbq sauce, buffalo sauce, salsa, lemon garlic marinade, teriyaki sauce, peanut satay sauce, marinara, pesto, vodka sauce, alfredo, Ranch, breaded with corn flake crumbs, stuffed with ham and swiss as Chicken Cordon Blue... totally different story.

I have chicken easily 5 nights a week. Still not sick of it. I don't ask my husband, "What do you want for dinner tonight?" I ask, "How do you want your chicken?" laugh:

Well said

Not much to add that others haven't said. I like lean beef...... I also love beans. There's allot of different things you can do with both to spice them up. Also love fish but I saw earlier in your post that you hate it. If you decide to try it I suggest a non oily fish. Maybe salmon, pollock, or talapia They are less fishy than oily fish like cod. Drizzle with lemon juice and cook with a Bay leaf on top. Pulls the"fishy"taste right out. You can also top with different things like a mild rotel or a raspberry vinegrette drizzle.
Or you can add a little protien powder to your oatmeal
Just suggestions

You could get Bob's Red Mill - High Protein Tvp and add it to your food....it doesn't have any taste to it so it'll take on the taste of whatever you put it in. For a 1/4 cup you get 12g of protein for 80 calories.

I'm with you lol. I struggle to get my 125g of protein a day.

I think most of us have been eating protein in our meals as long as we've been on table food. I can't say I've ever been sick of it...

It sounds like you're trying to get it in for the sake of getting it in, not actually integrating it into a meal. As has already been pointed out, you don't have to have a plain grilled chicken breast every night. I've madd fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice and broccoli casserole, chicken Alfredo, coconut chicken curry, chicken salad, chicken on top of a salad, chicken pot pies, chicken Parmesan, barbecue chicken, stuffed chicken breasts, cheesy crockpot chicken, orange chicken, chicken Marsala...seriously, that's probably just a fraction of ways I've used chicken. Time to get creative'

ETA: I never meet my protein goals, so I feel your pain there. I'm more of a fat/carb lover
