Protein?

Question

I've been tracking my calories on myfitnesspal for about a month now but I'm having difficulty eating enough protein. Is there any easy meal with lots of protein?

Answer

Protein shakes with low carbs (less than 3G) and low fat (1g) mixed with water. It's a quick and easy way to get more protein in. Drink it as your morning snack with a slow carb and as a mid afternoon snack.

Answer

If you find lean meat sources expensive chickpeas, legumes are also good.
​
​Low fat dairy like low fat cheese, yoghurt (no sugar), low fat milk.
​
​It's good to try and keep your protein:carbs at 2:1. Only good quality carbs.

​This is proven as best formula for weight maintenance on a huge study in Europe funded by the European Union.

Answer

Chicken?

Answer

Egg whites, chicken, turkey, fish, cottage cheese, smoothies with protein powder, protein bars (just be sure to check grams--some say they are protein bars but actually don't have all that much protein in comparison to a granola bar). 
​
​I also make egg white, spinach, and other veggies in a muffin tin and reheat them throughout the week.

Answer

I appreciate everyone's ideas! Keep 'em coming!

Answer

Protein powder is good but I found after a while it made me sick. Even thinking about it now makes me feel queasy haha. I use a vanilla one for cooking though, like for vanilla and banana protein pancakes or for blending in smoothies. Try eating eggs for breakfast, for lunch have a salad with tuna/salmon/chicken and avocado, beetroot, cheese and for dinner have a cooked meal with meat or fish, and veg like baked sweet potato, asparagus. With the meat, leaner is best like turkey and chicken. Snack on nuts or fruit if you need to but I find when I eat plenty of protein I don't get hungry and don't snack.

Answer

I like Total Lean Chocolate, it's from GNC. It has 25 grams protein, 8 grams fiber, and 200 calories in 2 scoops. I make a meal replacement shake with it, a frozen banana, and baby spinach.

Answer

I know that eggs and nuts are good protein but is there anything else?
