hey that's almost exactly what we had for dinner last night! only with low fat mozzarella, and with green bell peppers and onions and with the 80 calorie la tortillasIn order to get more protein in my life, I recently added lots of chicken (daily) and whey protein. I'll grill up 2 large breasts, cut it up, and portion it out into 3 - 4 servings. I will toss it on salads, put it in a wrap, make a sandwich, and my favorite thing to do is make a quesadilla.
easy high protein quesadilla
1 whole wheat tortilla (I use La Tortilla Factory 100 calories)
2 laughing cow wedges
3 - 4 oz of cut up chicken breast
spread laughing cow cheese on tortilla
top with chicken
fold tortilla in half
heat it on stove top, flipping occassionally, to taste.0 -
sorry everyone who suggested yogurt and cottage cheese---i hate them both
my sons love yogurt but i hate it. blech! thanks though!
there can be a huge taste difference among brands of cottage cheese, so you might want to shop around and find one that tastes best. i like to eat it with fruit mixed in, so you are really tasting the fruit more than anything else.
if you can find a way not to hate it, i think a cup of cottage cheese has over 30 grams of protein...0 -
I also don't like yogurt or cottage cheese! It's a texture thing. Ew.
I also need more protein. I feel like I eat a ton already but I'm always under.0 -

Since I'm also trying to get more protein in I'm going to keep following this thread. To those of you that don't like the yogurt, I like it but you might want to try mixing a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder with it and add some fruit. It's so yummy! I don't care for cottage cheese, I wonder if I could mix protein powder in with that to make it taste better?0
