It's a constant learning process.

Before surgery, I loved to cook.  Of course, I cooked all the wrong things. After surgery, I stuck with broiled/baked protein and veggies.  Very boring, but easy to track.  Then I had a "dark period" in my life (death of SO, home burned down) and now I'm living on my own for the first time in my life.  Went off track and now struggling to get back in line...I need to lose an additional 75 pounds to reach goal.  My prior diet of protein and veggies isn't cutting it so I'm making a commitment to add variety to make meals more interesting.  I make a mean Stir Fried Rice, Pasta-Free Lasagna, Broccoli and Beef, and omelettes of every variety.  (Will enter into MFP to get stats and will post some recipes here.)

You could sub in a protein drink such as Premier Protein vanilla to greatly increase protein and reduce carbs.   I am the proud new owner of an ice cream maker, will try this as ice cream and report back ;)

I just got a Whynter Ice Cream maker... here is a great frozen yogurt/protein shake recipe:

1 container Oikos Triple Zero Salted Caramel Greek yogurt

1 container Premier Protein Chocolate shake

2 scoops Click espresso protein powder

1 cup skim milk or Fairlife milk

Blend in blender until frothy.  Pour into ice cream maker and freeze, takes about 30-45 minutes.  Makes about 4 cups.

Calories: 120 per 1 cup serving, 18 grams protein 9 grams carb 1 gram fat

I put a tablespoon of sf blackberry jam on top.  (10 more calories)

Sounds delicious....but way too many carbs and too little protein for me during the weight loss phase.  I try to keep carbs under 40.  I use protein powder in my shakes, with unsweetened Almond Breeze.  This time of year, you can find pumpkin pie flavored protein powder.

I use a shaker instead of a blender.  Makes a thick shake without all the foam.

Best of luck to you.
