looking for other protein ideas..sick of chicken & turkey

I've been on the same foods now for a month and sick of eating the same thing day in and day out..

Other than the norm, meat and yogurt-- I'm looking for ideas to change up my proteins.. any help is appreciated!

 

 

 

meatballs with pasta sauce and cheese

shrimp and ****tail sauce

tuna with mayo

 

Beans!  Love me some refried beans with cheese!

I loved ground beef with pasta sauce and melted cheese at that stage it sat so well.

My doc has a meat cheese and egg only diet at your point so I tried just about every meat out there, some sat better than others. I liked garlic steak, pork didn't sit at all and better grades of steak like filet mignon I still can't eat.

I also loved pizza toppings, either off a pizza I ordered my family or I just melted the ingredients on their own and at them.

Ricotta cheese with spaghetti sause on top warmed in the microwave.  Tastes like lasagna.

Cottage cheese, sliced cheeses, beans of all sorts, tofu, veggie burgers.

Chicken salad, tuna, shrimp scallops, fish, fruit flavored protein shakes, black beans

I like to use ricotta cheese, a little lean ground beef or sausage, pasta sauce and a little sprinkle of cheese. Surprisingly good.

I also like turkey burgers but have a hard time if they are cooked even a touch too long. I also made a turkey meatloaf with low fat cheese.

Protein choices that I enjoy other than chicken and turkey.....

cottage cheese with cinnamon and splenda

greek yogurt

pepperettes

babybel light cheese

cheese strings

sugar free, 0% fat fruit yogurts

high protein pudding (you can make it by adding some protein powder to sugar free pudding)

baked ricotta, eggface has a great recipe

Edamame, lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas

tofu, either extra firm or there are tons of silken tofu recipes online for shakes, puddings, sugar free desserts

eggface and bariatric foodie protein baked goods...mini muffins, cakes, donuts and never discount eggface's protein ice creams...very yummy if you have a good tasting protein powder

almond butter, peanut butter...can also be mixed with some good tasting protein powder to raise its protein level and spread on apples, crackers, low carb wraps

store bought protein bars or homemade protein bars

Turkey pepperoni baked until crisp (like "chips") and dipped in high protein dip (mix of greek yogurt, cottage cheese and spices)

cheese "chips"...recipe can be found easily online, a nice, crispy treat

Great suggestions! Can you come cook for me!? Hehee
