share your best tip for getting your protein in

 This is fairly common sense and nothing too unique, but when I'm shopping and there are multiple varieties of something I want, I use the protein content as the deciding factor.  For instance, when buying canned soup, I will spend 15 minutes surveying the nutrition labels and choosing the highest protein varieties possible. 

 What a great idea.  I am going to do that.  Why is it after surgery most people cannot tolerate the shakes?  I have some great tasting protein shakes, and I take it slow, but it overwhelms me with the sweetness. Thanks, Jane 

I also like the Special K protein flavor packets. If I mix one packet into a 16.9oz bottle of water, and do that 4x a day, that's 68oz of water and 20g of protein. And it tastes great and goes down super easy. Tastes like Crystal Lite. Since I'm drinking water ANYWAY, I might as well get my protein while I do it.

I never really tried those, because the protein in them was so low.  But you're right.  I have no problems using a diet lemonade stick in my water... and that has zero protein.  I could be getting 5-6 bonus grams.

I got this from Lady Taz. I add  unflavored protein powder to water and crystal light. It works two fold. I get in both fluids and protein with minimal calories. If I can still taste the protein I add a little Mio.

 Greek yogurt with honey and fruit.
Tuna salad.
Venti iced lattes.
Beef jerky at the movies.

I need to be able to go in the kitchen and find fast protien

I'm interested in the Cytomax as well! I do use the Nectar Lemonade, mixed with water. It takes on the flavor of anything (Crystal Light, tea, ect) that you add to it.

That's interesting.... hmmm...

I compare most things I consume with protein in mind.  I use one protein drink a day and use 1 1/2 scoops in the same amount of water.

I use protein enriched cereal in my greek yogurt in the mornings.  my entire 3/4 cup breakfast gives me 23 grams of protein between the yogurt, cereal, fruit and flax.

My meals are still 90% protein forward to this day, I get over 100 grams from my food alone and just use the protein drink (35g) as an added bonus.  If I don't hit 120-150 grams my protein labs are not where I want them to be.

I like the salt shaker idea, might hit the dollar store later and pick up a few!

That is such a good idea. I seem to have trouble getting all my calcium in. I have the horse pills right now. I wonder if I were to take a few of them and crush them up to a fine consistency and put that in a shaker, I could do the same thing. As the vitamin expert, do you think it would be bad if I were to get more than the 1500mg a day that is recommended by doing a little shaking? I would think it would be better to be over than under.
