Ok everyone.....I'm really trying to get more protein in my diet. My goal at the moment is about 109/day. I have 20 more to reach this for the day and it looks like that will be for my evening snack. I have 200 calories to play with. Give me suggestions please!!! (I'm over on fat by a little but I'm not tracking that as much and I'm already over on fiber which is really good).
Since I'm going to be starting with a trainer this week and starting a lifting program I know that protein is really important. Suggestions for high protein meals are also welcome. I'm not doing low fat/low carb/low anything really. Just trying to keep my protein and my fibers high!!!
Thanks for helping me out!!

Seriously it is lovely!!! takes a few trys to get the consistency right....too much water and it's runny and too little water and its stodgy and hard to spread. So add in a bit of water, stir, then keep adding a bit at a time until the consistency is right. it's lovely!! and high protein/good fats too! xxx0 -
Hey all,
I'm also looking for a similar option that is high protein/lower carb/lower to add to my snacks. I keep finding that I'm about 250 calories short of my goal. I'd prefer not to have to cook something (I'm not much of a cooker, and I already pre-cook my week's lunches), and since I already have a protein shake in the morning and a protein bar as a late afternoon snack, I don't want to add too much more processed food.
Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!0 -
bump because I fail at protein. I ate several chicken breasts, beef, pumpkin seeds, greek yogurt, bacon, an egg and other things that had protein in it yesterday...and still don't meet Canadian guidelines for recommended protein intake0

I discovered a great way to make cottage cheese into an exciting dessert -- blend it into jello.
Take a large-size box of sugar-free Jello and dissolve it in 1 cup of boiling water.
Put 2 cups plain cottage cheese and 1 cup of water in a blender. Blend it up, then pour in the hot dissolved jello while it's still blending until it's all mixed together. Pour it into a container and put it in the fridge for a few hours to firm up.
It tastes like really creamy jello, and of course it has essentially the same nutritional profile as plain cottage cheese.0
