    For a snack I will eat a Detour lower sugar whey protein bar, but there are lots of different protein bars out there, so check them out. Also there are several protein powders you can try. Of course the best way to get protein is in it's true form, so add low fat cheese and meat to your diet.

    My son has a protein drink from GNC after a workout. They are expensive though.

    I wouldn't worry about it. If you're already eating 50g a day that's a lot of protein! It's not like you're trying to become a bodybuilder (I'm assuming).

    That's actually not much protein at all - and higher protein is not only relevent for body builders.

    Well, I RARELY get up to 50g myself, and my diet's pretty good. Sometimes I do the whey powder shakes, and they usually gets me close to the MFP goal, but we should be able to get enough protein from whole foods.

    You may not go up to 50g - my point is, its not a lot and a higher level is not only applicable to body builders.
