Does anybody have any recipes or snack ideas that they want to share? I'd love to try something new. Afraid that if all I have in my arsenal is meat and cheese, staying on track is going to be a long hard road.

    When I'm looking for protein dense food, I typically go egg whites or greek yogurt.

    -Greek yogurt mixed with: jam, protein powder, or fruit
    -Apple slices dipped in Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and either protein powder or honey
    -Nuts and raisins
    -Jerky and string cheese
    -Turkey and cheese roll ups
    -Cottage cheese with a tsp. of honey, cinnamon, and 1/2 of a chopped up apple
    -Cottage cheese on a rice cake
    -Tuna mixed with cottage cheese or 1/4-1/2 of an avocado. Eat it on celery sticks
    -Hummus and veggies
    -Hard boiled egg
    -Eggs and/or egg whites scrambled with cottage cheese
    -Oatmeal with any of the following mix-ins: Greek yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder, and believe it or not egg whites!
    -Banana and peanut butter, either plain, on toast, or on a rice cake
    -Glass of milk or chocolate milk (for extra protein add protein powder)

    -I just learned about pea protein powder supposedly you get about 8-10 grams per tsp. and it doesn't effect flavor or texture so it is great as an add-in in many, many things (I'm going to check this out)
    -Of course chicken is a great source of protein and I have several delicious recipes. Let me know if you want me to send a few.

    Possibly a stupid question: Do you scramble the cottage cheese as the eggs are cooking, or add it afterward to your eggs?

    Not a stupid question and either way would work. I personally scramble the cottage cheese as the eggs are cooking. It makes the eggs fluffier and a little cheesy and you don't taste the 'cottage cheese taste'.

    Vegan protein muffins:
    1.5 cup vital wheat gluten (wheat protein, unless you are actually allergic, go ahead and continue)
    1/4 cup cinnamon
    1/2 cup almond milk
    1 cup water
    1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (or any chips)

    Bake at 350 for ~40 minutes.
    I've split mine into 9 muffin tins. ~90 calories and ~10g protein.
