Question:
Anyone know of a list that states how much protein things have?
I don't like protein shakes and it is not encouraged by my nutritionist. Haven't tasted many, but enough to know I can't stand them. YUK! — Michele B. (posted on July 25, 2003)

My nutritionist said the rule we should go by to approximate is 7 grams of
protein per ounce of food. If you want specific items go to
www.fitday.com. they have the nutritional breakdown of almost everything!

There are some really bad tasting protein shakes out there BUT I have found
thru trial and error that there are some really good ones too. Don't give
up, go to http://www.vitalady.com or htt://www.wlssuccess.com and order
some of the samples. I really like MetRx (thick), Ultra pure protein (milk
consistency), and nectar (juice consistency). There are many others too
for you to try.

Most of the local bookstores like barnes and Noble have a small soft
covered book called the Pocket Protein Counter. It has almost all the
necessary nutritional info except for sugar. I bought a separate one for
that. Good luck!

I really like Fitday.com for calculating daily intake. For a simple list,
try Mike's Calorie And Fat Gram Chart For 1000 Foods,

I bought a book at Barnes & Noble, but I'm sure other book stores carry
it as well. It's by Corinne Netzer, $7.99, and in paperback. It's a
complete book of food counts, including protein grams, calories, carbs,
fats, etc. It has just about everything in there you can imagine, plus some
restaurant chain counts too. I have found it very helpful in trying to keep
track of my intakes. My nutrionist also told me that 1 oz. of meat counts
as 7 ozs. of protein (just a good general rule of thumb). Most packaged
foods give you the nutrional values, but if you want something for the
things that don't list this information, I would suggest this book. Good
luck!
