How do you get your protein?

I make protein shakes. These have seriously changed my breakfast habits forever (I kinda hate breakfast). It comes in at about 218 calories and 26g of protein, not bad at all and seriously tastes like a milkshake.
- 1 scoop of protein powder (I use designer whey vanilla)
- 1/4 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup silk pure coconut vanilla milk
- LOTS of ice
- 2 packets of stevia
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum0 -
Feel free to view my diary. I focus heavily on protein with shakes, bars, and various foods especially chicken, turkey, beans and nuts. I hit 190 grams yesterday for the first time ever. I generally shoot for 110-120 per day.0

I have come to the conclusion that protein just isn't that important.
It depends secondarily upon what your goals are. If I wanted to lose 10-15 lbs fast, I would eat about 1/3 less protein and temporarily become a vegetarian or vegan. If I want to gain weight without worrying what I look like, I'd eat twice as many carbs as I do now. Every person is different, at different times!
Well I am a permanent vegetarian, I eat around 45g protein a day, and somehow still manage to maintain a very healthy muscle bulk.0 -

Lentils & pulses are good for added protein in soups & stews. You can also make them into low sugar cookies!0

Bump. I'm not a huge chicken fan and I'm getting tired of the turkey and tuna I've been eating.0

My main sources are chicken, extra lean ground turkey, beans, eggs, and cottage cheese. I used to do the Whey Protein shakes, but recently haven't been using them and I still exceed my daily protein goal on a regular basis.0

couldn't live without my whey protein shakes. I found low-carb yogurt which i add to the shake with berries. Get great amounts of protein along with a healthy high-fiber fruit and great taste. I also add flax seeds.
unfortunately, i am addicted to pure protein bars too. I love the high protein, but i'm trying to elimiate wheat and they have a little so I'm looking for a nonwheat protein bar that is low in carbs and still tastes like a candy bar.:0 -
