Protein Food?

Any suggestions for healthy naturally protein-filled foods or recipes (I'm not particularly keen on buying protein powders or bars), preferably something that can be slapped together with relative ease? I routinely munch on plain roasted almonds, for instance.

I was going to suggest nutty peanut butter. It is a great source of protein but be careful to not eat too much of it. Your body only digest so much protein at a time, the waist goes to your gut and butt. Also, raw eggs blended with fruits can be a nice source also and tastes great.

What about hard boiled eggs? You can make a bunch at a time, and keep them in the fridge for a few days.

Egg whites are a great protein source! And even better...they are fat-free, cholesterol-free, and very low in calories! You can scramble them, make an omlet, and even scramble them in the microwave for a super-fast meal. Also, you can buy them in a carton in the refrigerated section of the grocery store and they are usually pasturized so you can add them to smoothies and such. Just make sure they are 100% liquid egg whites and nothing else.

Turkey deli meat is a good source of protein and the Triptifan helps your muscles relax after a workout.

Seitan, which you can buy in the tofu section of stores like Whole Foods for cheap, about $3 a package. It's almost 100% protein - about 1 g carb, I think. You can heat it up with a little bit of water, or slice it on a salad, or eat it straight - it kind of tastes like chewy beef jerky

Milk
Tempeh
Tofu
Nuts (especially almonds)
Beans
Cheese
Meat
Eggs
Peas

Take your pick, all are reasonably high in protein.

Fish
Cottage cheese
Nuts
Beans

All great suggestions--Don't forget the fage--greek yogurt--about 120 calories for a 1 cup serving--9 carbs--23 protein--delicious and nutrious!

Thanks guys, all those foods sound great...

mrsyac2 · April 2009

egg whites, chicken, fish, turkey, even red meat- Not much about a recipe but those are the foods with plenty of protein--

What's seitan and tempeh? For some reason I get the feeling that it's soy-based. If so, is it similar to tofu? (I like tofu :bigsmile: )
