Welcome!!!:flowerforyou:
how about nuts,or soy beans they are full of protein0 -
It is easy to get protein being veg. You can eat low fat or fat free dairy - I love cheese! Plus, do not forget the beans, legumes, and soy products (just dont go overboard with the soy as it make cause you to bloat a bit). You just have to make sure to have some protein with every meal.
try this for a sample day:
Breakfast : soy milk, total cereal, strawberries
snack : cottage cheese, pear
lunch: black bean and cheese on tortillas (2) plus lots of veggies
snack: carrots, ranch dressing
dinner: Garden burger (patty only, with lots veggies on top) and homemade fries baked with a toss of olive oil and Mrs Dash seasoning.
this comes to a total of only 1266 calories and 62 grams of protein.
now I am thinking I may have this tomorrow!!!0 -
Thanks for the ideas I will try that0
