What does "easiest to eat" mean? What do you find difficult to eat?0
-
Like easy to prepare? Or literally easy to eat?0
-
poultry, meat, and fish are going to be your greatest sources of protein...tofu and other soy products for veg sourced protein.0
-
Grilled chicken breast, raw egg whites, and skim milk shake. Add salt to taste. You don't even have to chew.0
-
Greek yogurt. Just watch sugar content. Some can be ridiculously high.0

Thanks guys. I'm trying to gain weight. And literally easy to eat. :-) I've been adding cream to mash and using full fat milk and stuff.0

I know you're trying to gain weight, but gotta point out that skim milk actually has more protein than full fat. Also, although adequate protein is important for everyone, it's more important when you're cutting than when you're bulking.0 -

Chicken, steak, egg whites, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt...try adding protein powder to oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, etc. Or go the easiest way and just mix with milk for a shake.0 -
Protein bars are also my favorite. I usually eat 2 x day to supplement my diet and reach my goal in addition to eating protein filled foods.0

Well it does in Canada. Thought it was the same everywhere...guess not.0 -
Chicken, turkey breast, lean ground turkey, lean ground beef, tuna, fish, non fat greek yogurt, turkey jerky, egg whites. If you want to gain weight, carb manipulation is key...increase carb intake to gain, decrease carb intake to lose.0

I live in Canada. There is no difference in protein in one cup of milk for instance. Maybe you mean per calorie. However, skim milk is only distantly related to food, so I would counsel you to just drink actual milk.0 -

No I meant per cup, but it looks like it depends on the brand. There is a difference with avalon milk, but not with island farms milk. Wasn't aware.0 -
