Am I the only one that gets their Protein thru food Not Shakes?

Hi Lee,

I get my protein in food as well.  Me and shakes don't get along especially first thing in the mornings.

My tummy hates protein in the morning, and so does my tastebuds

I get all of my protein through food My WLS doc is a firm believer of getting your nutritional needs met through food...that way it's better absorbed by the body!

My average is 1200 calories and about 80-100 grams of protein and I'm more than 3 years post-op

I get my protein through food as well. Honestly the only way I do a protein shake consistently was when I wanted to slow the weight loss down because of the extra calories the shakes/milk gives me but my NUT says I should get it all through food but if I have to do a shake to get it in that's fine as well. I find that as you when I'm traveling I do better with protein I can drink since I'm on the run a lot and out of my regular routine.

I am going to stick with getting my protein through food, it works for me cause I absolutely hate protein drinks,  ALL OF THEM.   

When I am in another country I struggle to get my protein in.  I take a lot of dry roasted edamame which gives me a ton of protein, but having those protein on the go things if I can stomach them will be great for when I'm traveling.

 

Hey Lee,

Good ?...  I only get my protein through food.  I can not do the shakes.  I do want to try the nectuar!!!!  My Surgeon told me as long as I get it through " good foods" than im cool.

I have tried that nectar and I hate it,  I have tried at least 30 if not more proteins and never found one I like

I use protein bars.  I can't stand the protein shakes.  I finally tried the unflavored unjury yesterday and it was nasty too.  My kids loved it.  I thought the fruit would mask the taste.  Nope...
I have protein bars for breakfast otherwise I wouldn't eat anything.  I like that they are portable and I keep them in my desk at work and in my purse so I never miss a meal.  The bars I get range from 10g to 19g of protein per bar and under 200 calories.  I keep a variety so I don't get bored from eating the same kind all the time.

I have always gotten my protein through food until a few months ago.
 
I start putting a little protein powder in my morning shakes when I make them OTHERWISE it all comes from food.

Lee -- all of my protein comes through food.  I only drink protein shakes when I don't feel good and don't want to eat.  I should probably be adding a few protein shakes now because I never eat breakfast anymore and on most days I don't want to each lunch.

My meals are  mostly protein and veggies with very litte fruit (it helps keep my blood sugar controlled)

I the summer my eating habits change and I will add protein drinks with some frozen fruit and flax powder.  It's hard for me to get a lot of protein in the summer.
