I am just back from the store with my long list of additional protien suggestions that came from a previous community post. I did get and try turkey jerky and I do like! Score. Only 100 calories too. I got a couple of the EA Advantage choc shakes to try, individually also only around 100 calories. I am also trying apple cider vinegar which I saw on a posting was something folks have tried and some with extra success. I need to find a recipe or two for a whitefish called "swai". Anyone know of any grilled or baked suggestions before I look on the www? I did get some natural peanut butter, chili beans, veg baked beans, 1% cottage cheese for variety. I wanted Chobani yogurt but Walmart doesn't carry. Will pick some up at another store later. I got some sardines to try "again" as my childhood memories aren't the greatest. Any ideas for sardines besides on a salad? I got a bunch of tuna and am going to give the package variety a shot again. Hard to get used to it after growing up with the canned variety. Well, I just wanted to say thank you and please add anything you like that will help. Ps....any ideas with lentils? I have had them in soup and that's about it. Didn't much care for the side dish version I had a while back. :heart: :smile: :happy: :flowerforyou:

    you can try adding lentils to rice! try searching biryani.... it's a South Asian (India, etc) way of making rice... and instead of the white rice you usually use for it you can try with wild or brown rice?

    My favorite way to cook any kind of white fish is to pan fry it in about a tablespoon of lime juice and then top it with pico de gallo (preferably homemade, but some store-bought varieties are pretty good, too). Quick, easy to make, and delicious!

    Lentils with fresh herbs, salt and pepper and some olive oil...cook the Lentils with chicken stock for add favor..put fresh mint and lemon or lime juice...or even some Italian dressing works very nicely...you can even sneak them in in chilli...all very good ideas...Good luck and happy eating...

    I have lentil soup (healthy choice variety, but I add Nature's own seasoning and a tsp of olive oil to make taste like a restaurant. Only 350 calories for a two serving container:) Delish!
    In addition, Ezekiel bread has protein, I like the raisin cinnamon variety with sour cream on top (it sounds weird, but it is sooooo good:)
