Question:
What are some of your High Protein meals?
Tomorrow I will be 4 weeks post op and so far, I have had little to no difficulty eating. For as long as I can remember I have always been a fruit and veggie craving gal, but now that I need to increase my protein intake, I am running out of ideas of what to cook or make. I was hoping you all would share some of your High Protein "Favorite Meals/Recipe" or point me to a sight that may have what I am looking for. I find that at the moment I am searching for variety. Also, how do you calulate your protein intake? Thanks for your help! — Kim M. (posted on November 1, 2001)

this is one of my favorite recipe sites for chicken. If you scroll on down
to the bottom you will see a bunch of other recipes. My favorite high pro
meal is very simple. I cut chicken fine. I scramble an egg then swirl in
the bottom of a nonstick pan wiped lightly with oil until the egg is very
thin and cooked. I put shredded cheese in the middle of the egg, then the
chicken, sometimes I mix chicken and whatever else I have left over, thinly
sliced pork, you get the idea. I add some spinach, some salsa, and roll up
the egg like a burrito. If I have leftover refried beans I have a tbs or
two on the side.
the pro is coming from the egg, meat, beans. Best of luck,

http://www.ntwrks.com/~mikev/
if high protein is what your after click on that, but keep in mind, too
high protein effects kidneys etc. So keep within what range your Surgeon or
Dr. sets for you. Jacki

I love chicken and broccolli stir fry. I marinade the chicken in
cornstarch and soy sauce. Then I cook it with the broccolli with a little
pam and a little chicken broth instead of oil. I also like Tofu Crumble
(in your veggie dept. of your store) in chilli, or tacos or anything with
ground sirloin or beef. I love a good grilled chicken salad and you can
find chicken breast in water--in the section where the tuna is...loaded
with protein. I also like these sites for recipes.

I really enjoy a small salad topped with cheese and seafood.
Especially imitation crab meat and shrimp. I haven't figured
out how many grams it is. Being a salad a person could top
it with just about anything like chicken, taco meat, tuna.
It can be customized to your mood and taste. Something else
really good is a boneless chicken breast topped with season
salt and some shreaded cheese.
