    I've even baked my salmon the old Girl Scout way. Just wrap it in foil (after seasoning it, even something as simple as salt and pepper) and bake. I think I bake it around 350. The foil holds in the juices. You can also cook it this way on the grill. Easy to clean up.

    Greek yogurt with nuts and fruit is supposed to be incredibly high in protein. :)

    I don't enjoy red meat at all, which is fine considering the health effects.

    red meat is perfectly healthy thanks


    Also thinking this. There is nothing-- NOTHING-- unhealthy about whole, natural red meat. Not hot dogs-- but whole cuts of meat.

    Yes! Greek yogurt is fab. As are nuts... nut flours... cheeses... etc. Cottage cheese is awesome! And tuna of course. I eat lots of it!

    someone once told me of a theory that people who thrive on meat are more of a certain blood type and vegitarians are another.. but who believes that! ... or do you? not? yes? no? can I use more question marks? Yes!

    According to the blood type diet theory, people with Type A blood (39% of the population) are best off as vegetarians, while people with Type O (46% of the population) are natural born meat eaters. Type B's (11% of the population) are somewhere in the middle.

    This is really interesting! I thrive, hands down, on meat and veggies. Very interesting indeed!

    i don't like the lemon pepper though it's been suggested to me many times. tilapia is not one of the better for you fishes unfortunately. have you tried haddock? it's good - and of course salmon is delish! You can just bake it. try teriyaki marinade too - on the salmon - that's delish!

    Greek yogurt is also great - and I even mix protein powder with my greek yogurt for even more of a protein boost! :)

    I must be broken then because I'm type O and could easily do wihthout meat. Since I still live at home I eat it rather than make a separate meal for myself but once I move out, I doubt I'll eat much meat at all.

    Also I believe that blood type theory...I am A positive. I just do not feel good eating meat at all. It also makes me hiccup the minute it hits my stomach. I finally bought organic eggs today as I can handle those ok at times.

    I agree with the protein shakes. I probably wouldn't get my full allotment without them.

    I use skinnytaste.com for most of my recipes but google is a great resource.

    Do you like shrimp? I had some fantastic boiled shrimp the other night.
    I eat mostly vegetarian too, and I cook with a lot of beans and lentils.
    I'm going to try dried peas this week.

    Not into red meat huh. Ok.

    Eggs (by themselves are scrambled into any number of foods).
    greek yogurt (plain is a great substitute for sour cream).
    ground poultry cooked into casseroles, stir fries, picodillo, are any number of other dishes that blend well. Stuff it in peppers, use it in sauces. wrap it in grape leaves with some seasoning and quinoa. Go crazy
    Protein shakes (chocolate whey powder in your coffee is great with a little almond milk).
    Salmon is great with rosemary and garlic in the skillet with a little olive oil. Trout is good as well in a similar manner.

    Bottom line, protein helps with lean tissue retention. Get some quality protein in considerable quantity. The most efficient sources are animal derived. If that is not a moral or religious issue, figure out a way to make it work.
