New ways I've found to up my protein with food
So I am determined to up my protein without upping my calories too much so today I found a breakfast and a lunch that I can fit in my little sleeve that is packed with protein.
Bfst. I cooked up some Jennie o extra lean ground turkey with some Ortega low sodium taco seasoning. the 20 oz package made 8 2.5 oz servings which i measured and put in ziplocs. Also my new protein find is mixing the fage fat free greek yogurt with salsa, makes kind of a southwest ranch style dressing its fat free and adds protein and the wet factor to my foods...
K so breakfast, I put a little butter in my little egg pan, added a package of the turkey and heated it up, then added 1/4 cup of my egg beaters and scrambled em up, then a little pepper jack cheese...i put a little of my yogurt/salsa combo on and... YUMMMOOO I couldn't quite fini**** all but here is myfitnesspal's breakdown.
Calories 179, Fat 4 grams, protein 24 Grams, carbs 7 (5 of which come from the ortega mix)
For lunch i just had most of a 4 oz tilapia filet cooked in a little butter with mrs. Da****s a dilly seasoning. with more of my yogurt/salsa combo
Calories 176, Fat 7(butter) next time I'll broil and save the fat 24 grams of protein and 4 carbs
So I'm at just about 50 grams for the day and still have dinner to go! I can totally eat those yummy finds! Anyway just thought I'd share with the only people that might be slightly interested! Hope all of you have a great weekend.

Sounds Yummy! I have been having a hard time getting in protein too and just made a protein coffee that is pretty good (cant stand the shakes anymore)
coffee
4 oz pure protein choc ready made shake
1 scoop EAS Vanilla protein powder
2 T Torani SF Hazelnut syrup
Has 170 cals, 5 gm carbs and 31 gms protein - and it held up to the heat which is good b/c its starting to feel like winter!

I used about 8 oz b/c I dont like my coffee strong, but i guess it up to your taste. I also have Unjury protein but b/c there are so many warnings about not heating it above 130 I didnt use it.

Now that I think about it I dont think my coffee is above 130 degrees after adding in 4 oz of cold protein shake so the Unjury would probably work fine.
