2 - 16 oz glasses of skim milk = 16
2 ounces turkey breast - 10
2 ounces cheese - 12
1 protein shake made with milk - 32

8 ounces greek yogurt - 17

Ostrim stick - 14

Greek yogurt is a great bang for your buck when trying to get protein in.. it's smooth and 8 ounces goes down pretty fast and never seems to stick for me.

 Dr. Benn gave me an incredible tool.. and I intend to make the most out of it!!

Thanks Kristy!  It's still not "little" but definitely "littler"

thank you so much...I'm off to Lakewinds for some greek yoghurt.  Thank goodness, because I just hurled some beef I tried to eat for lunch.  I can only eat ground beef so far, but it was worth trying...no more steak/roast beef for me for a LONG TIME

You've gotten some great advice so far.  It's important that you find a few things that you can tollerate, and eat daily in order to get enough protein.  Since you're struggling w/ protein shakes, I personally say head for a bar. One a day can give you 20g of protein.  All of the Pure protein bars have 18-20g, lots of flavors.  And if you can find a way to mix something into greek yogurt, that's a great choice too. Some people mix in a little sugar free preserves, SF jello mix or SF pudding and really like it.

As hard as it is, try not to get frustrated with losing a little slowly. I was comparing myself to faster losers alot in the first 6 months.  You might be surprised if you start adding more protein the pounds come off quicker.  Try it.

GNC carries a protein bar called Supreme Protein - lots of protein, very few carbs, if you can tolerate sugar alcohols.
