Protien bars

There are lots of ways to get protein: lean meats, fish, eggs, greek yogurt, etc. In addition to protein bars (of which Quest are very tasty), you might also consider whey protein powder.

Protein powder can be added to water, milk, almond milk or yogurt. And they typically have 20 grams per scoop. Throw in some fruit and you have a delicious protein drink/shake.

Well for one thing, you need to eat more, :sick: !!! That's one of the reason your not hitting your proteins.

^^^This. Your calories are super low. You're not going to be able to get much protein on those calories, unless you eat nothing but protein. Try upping your calories, at least to 1200 if not more.

Some foods with lots of protein are Greek yogurt and chicken breasts, I eat those pretty often myself.

In my opinion protein bars are great as well as some whey protein shakes. Many different flavored out there so they can be added to many different liquids including water, juice, milk, iced fruit smoothies and so on. Starbucks even has a whey protein shake that is high in pottasium and protein. I eat lean meats very often as well as eggs and milk on top of about 4 scoops of whey throughout the day. I thought I had trouble hitting my goal with protein intake which is about 240g. You can get your goal of 70 very easy with a scoop of whey in water and then your regular food. Good luck

So I know I've asked prob too many times, but I'm still doing something wrong. I stay within my calorie deflect, but I'm no where near my protien goal of 70. Today I actually had the lowest 13. I try to add a lot of protien thru out the day, but I just don't make it, and usually I go over my fat and sugar. I'm so disappointment as I have asked for help many times, had very good replies, but it's not sticking with me and I must be doing something wrong. I'd love to see a full day of nutrition from anyone. I might just catch on.

Also going to try the quest bars as soon as the get here, is it ok to use them as a meal replacement daily.

SORRY, YA'll must be sick and tired of hearing my nutrients problem.

What you're doing wrong is that you're not eating enough. (Where in the world did you com up with a 1000 calorie/day diet!) And yes, until you start eating enough for an adult human being wringing your hands over your "nutrients problem" could get very tiresome.

Are you a vegetarian or vegan? If not, add some lean meats like fish, chicken breast, turkey breast. If you are veg*n then you really need to study how to do it properly....it can be a very healthy diet if done right but you have to eat a balanced diet with plenty of calories.

Here are some veg sources of protein...
Eggs
Greek yogurt (get the low fat greek unsweetened kind for the lowest calories)
Milk or protein enriched milk alternative (soy, almond, etc.)
Cheese
Nuts/seeds...pumpkin seeds are especially nutrient rich
Meat substitutes like tofurkey, Morningstar, Boca, etc
Tofu
Tempeh
Seitan
Protein shakes (pea or rice or hemp if vegan)
Protein bars....Luna protein is my favorite
Edamame
Beans and lentils
Peas
Choose higher protein veggies like broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, kale, potato, corn (you won't get a lot from these veggies but these are some good options to boost the count a little)
Quinoa is a higher protein whole grain

I agree with those who say your calories are too low. Protein, like carbs and fat, adds to the calorie count and if you are restricting so much it is hard to make room for the more caloric foods that give you a healthy mix of protein/carb/fat.

I would also say plan in advance if you know you have a deficiency. I have my tracker filled out already with portions of generic food categories....for example, 100 calorie servings of self created foods called "protein", "fruit", "vegetable", "whole grain", "dairy". When I eat a protein rich food, I delete off the "protein" entry. Helps me make sure I get a good balance of nutrients throughout the day. I am hitting all my nutrient/macro goals, but if I saw that I kept having a persistent problem with iron, for example, I might create a food group called "iron" and add a few servings. Force myself to use those calories for foods that are iron rich.

Help yourself to a nosy at my diary.

Just recently tried a quest bar myself (very hard to find over here) and it was by far the nicest protein bar I have tried, great fibre as well - I don't think I could stand for that to be a meal though - more of a snack IMO.

For breakfast every day I eat an apple pie Quest bar and a serving of Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries, that's 46 grams of protein and under 400 calories.
