High Protein Foods

Does anyone know of a site that gives you ideas on high protein items? I'm trying to figure out what I should have handy at home for after the surgery aside from protein shakes. Or if anyone has suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rosemary, You can always mix unflavored protein powders into soft stuff like mashed potatoes, apple sauce, yogurt, etc. Hugs, Mo doin' the 12 days and a wake up happy Mo dance

when I want to know ANYTHING on the internet....I just type in a couple words and search.....you will find many many sources. Put "high protein" in the search field and I bet you get many hits...Although you could probably browse this sites Q & A postings too and find a lot of answers there...it goes way back to 2001 I think.

Look on this site at the "library" lots of info there.

It depends on what stage of diet you are on. For soft/pureed foods: FF cottage cheese SF pudding (I made up some with added protein powder before I went in and put it in little premeasured containers of 2 oz each) unflavored lowfat yogurt cream of wheat (the kind you cook for a few minutes has more nutrition than the instant kind) FF refried beans - puree these That will at least get you started.

I got a can of PROMOD. It's the flavorless whey protein that most hospitals use. I'll be adding it to cream soups, cream of wheat, and whatever else I can think of. I've heard you can add it to SF puddings too.

Thanks Rob for the info. This site has been great. I've gotten a lot of tips and info.
