i go over on usually fat and or carbs. I cannot seem to find the right thing to get protein calories. I have tried protein bars.. I can hardly choke them down. I do not have a blender for shakes. What do some of you do to balance this out?

    I tend to go over on Carbs on a regular basis...

    Maybe eat more salady stuff with less carbs?
    As they said, try and plan the food more if you are keeping a close check, I just watch the calories, would go bananas if I kept track of the other nutrients as well: :ohwell: grumble:
    Still losing though :bigsmile:

    I start my day with one cup of Special K protein plus cereal and 1/2 cup of 2% milk. That's 17grams of protein right there....

    lots of good places to get protein:

    lean meats
    fish
    shrimp
    milk/yogurt/cheese (non-fat cottage cheese is very good with 7 grams per 1/2 cup)
    eggs (6 grams per egg and most of that is in the whites)
    nuts
    sprouts
    beans

    If you're looking for supplements there are protein powders that can be mixed with smoothies, oatmeal, etc.

    Chicken, chicken, chicken!!! Also go to GNC, they have some really great protein powders that even my wife likes!!! Low Carb (they have zero carb), high protein. It's a great way to cheat when you need protein. You can get a 40-60 gram blast of protein with no side effects, haha!!
