I would like to focus on increasing my level of protein.  Problem is I hate protein shakes/bars.  Is there a protein pill that would help to get the levels of protein we need?  Thank you!

You can buy protein bars - some complain they can be carby.  I've heard that Jay Robb bars are good.

Below is an extract from this page http://www.dsfacts.com/protein.php with the bioavailability of protein:

Bioavailability refers to the protein's ability to be used by the body and it is measured by Biological Value (BV). The higher the BV, the more bioavailable the protein. The BV numbers below demonstrate how easily the body (pre-DS) can absorb these protein types. The last few protein types mentioned on the list would need to be blended to make a complete protein.

whey blended products, BV 100-159 
whey, BV 104 
egg, BV 100 
cow's milk, BV 91 
egg white, BV 88 
beef, BV 80 
fish, BV 79 
chicken, BV 77 
casein, BV 77 
soy, BV 74 
potato, BV 71 
rice, BV 59 
wheat, BV 54 
beans, BV 49 
peanuts, BV 43

Eating strategically is key.  Cheese is how I manage it.

What Val said - and try to incorporate high value protein into everything you make and eat. When eating out, always go for meat dishes, early out chicken, tuna and other meat salads, until you progress to more solid foods.

I wish there were a pill, but then it would put shake manufacturers out of business, and deprive those of us who actually like shakes of a simple pleasure.

Sorry just re-read you hate bars.  It may be worth you trying different brands to see if there's one you like.   Also Vitalady does samples of shakes to help you find one you like.

Beef Jerky helps me I have my own dehydrator and buy the seasoning on amazon.  I have been told trader Joes has the best beef jerky it tasted fine to me but as a DS the cost is more reasonable if I make it...............   I roll it out with a rolling pin and it taste awesome.  My dehydrator has 5 rows and 4 shelves are for me and the last one I make for my daughter as she likes her beef jerky thicker then I do.  It is a hit in the house.
