Protein question.......

Hello All, I am just wondering if anyone could tell me how they fit all their protein in in one day? I am 3 months out and having a hard time getting it all in. I eat meat but I don't think enough. I do not drinks the shakes because they make me so sick. So I eat meat and chicken but am having a hard time doing it. Can anyone please help me on how to fit more protein into my day!!! Thanks, Tara

Hi Tara, Do you like fish? Maybe adding some fish to your diet will help increase your protein intake. If you are having trouble getting it all through food. Maybe try some different protein supplements. Have you tried ISOPURE ready to drink (juice type) drinks ? Each 20 ounce bottle has 40 grams of protein. OR AchieveONE coffee typr drinks 9 ounces have 20 grams of protein and they are yummy. I didn't like the shakes either! Finding somethin YOU like is key. But if I have a day where i need to supplement some protein I ENJOY an ACHIEVEONE or and ISOPURE drink. Hope that helps, Britt

I eat eggs, cheese, tofu, beans, beef, chicken, i do drink a protein drink called AchieveOne which is a coffee flavor that i tolerate well. Are you looking for how much and when? b'fast: 4 ounces tilapia filet - 21 g of protein snack1: 2 cheese sticks - 12 g of protein snack 2: handful of almonds - 6 g of protein lunch: cottage cheese w/cucumber and jalapeno - 10 g of protein dinner: 1/2 of a beef burger (no bun) w/sauerkraut mix - 13g of protein that gets me over my 60 grams of protein and if i go to the gym i'm able to get in all of my fluids too. I AM 11 months out though! You may need to make better protein choices in your foods, if you go to the library look up high protein low carb diets (atkins or south beach) and they'll give you protein amounts. ANDI

I was just wondering where you get the AchieveOne protein drinks. Thanks, Betsy

I've bought mine at http://store.bariatriceating.com/ I think Trader Joes sells them too. Google it and see what you can find. They are delish!!!!

Britt....have you tried "New Whey Protein Bullets" ?? I went on the BariatricEating website...and ordered the Acheive Protein Drinks...I'm excited to see if these are better than the EAS Carb Control Pre-made shakes. (I like them in Coffee...but I think may have been disconntinued in Coffee) Thanks for giving the website...I'll have to check out Trader Joe's too - I just hate waiting in the lines there! (WHEW...that place is always busy in Manhattan...closest one to me....) Deboarh~ lap rny- 4/19/06 333/190/150

No Deborah - I haven't tried them - are they good?

Nope! I just saw them on that site you recommended...and thought maybe you had!! They are like 45g of protein in a "Jello-shot" of sort.... They look interesting...so I thought I'd ask.... I'll let you knw if I do end up trying them....I'm gonna start with the coffee ones first! Deborah~

Hey there...i personally LOVE the ACHIEVE ONE drinks.....i keep them stocked in my frig at all times.....i have the vanilla right now...I dont really care for the EAS ones, they leave me feeling to full......Hope youenjoy the Achieve ones.... LisaMarie
