I'm trying to increase my protein intake, without drastically increasing my calorie intake.
Does anyone have suggestions for combinations to try or products to look into? :)

    Egg whites and Quinoa (Quinoa is a little high on the calories)

    Try using egg product instead of regular eggs. I personally am not a huge egg fan, but I think egg product tastes better to me. 1/3 cup is only 30 calories with 6 grams of protein.

    I don't think egg whites are not appetizing at all! To each their own.

    I also add Impure no-carb protein powder when I make sugar-free pudding for a snack. Chocolate hides the taste.

    The EAS AdvantEDGE protein shakes are very good and have 17g of protein, only 110 calories.

    Thanks everyone! I went out shopping today and returned with whey protein shake mix, pure protein bars, egg whites, and roasted edamame. Sounds like I'm on the right track... I just feel a little lost with all of these foreign foods!
