What is your favorite hight protein food?
Yesterday I just got my 6 month labs back, and things looked good... except they said I need to eat more protein and take B12/iron less often (once a week instead of daily). So, I want to try to up my protein intake from 60-70 a day, to 80+ a day. I need to find some great ways to do that
On that note... what is your favorite high protein (>10 grams per "serving"
food? So far, on my list, I have:
- Large nonfat latte from Caribou(15 grams protein, 140 cals)
- one ounce Turkey Jerky (15 grams of protein, 80 cals)

I really like "homecooked," "real" type foods.
I made some amazing baked tangy chicken thighs (11 grams protein) this week.
I also love homemade turkey chili (17 grams of protein) -- it has become my go-to comfort food that is easy to heat up and always settles well in my sleeve.
When I don't take my lunch to work, I get a turkey burger patty (11 grams for half) with mushrooms and swiss cheese from the grill and eat half for lunch and half for dinner with a few steamed veggies on the side.
I get more satisfied from warm, substantial food more so than cold, snacky food, I think.
I also start my day with a protein shake, just to make sure I hit the high end of my protein goals. I'd rather be over 80 than closer to 60.

I have not had surgery yet, but greek yogurt has 26 gms of protein for a cup, not that you can eat that much
. Also quinoa has alot of protien, but its a grain so I dont know how that works even though it has alot of protein. You could also mix some protein powder in with your yogurt, scrambled eggs etc.
