Today on Bariatric Foodie I go over my top 5 favorite foods that give big protein in a small package. I also give some tips on how to work these into the smallest portion sizes to get maximum benefit.

Just remember, you might think your portion sizes are too small to matter, but every bit of protein you get counts!

Hope this helps some folks get on the path to protein POWAH!!!

great suggestions! I can't wait until i'm far enough out to try some of those cheesecake recipes!

I'm enjoying my cottage cheese, but always looking for ways to make it better!

Nik, I want to try the mozzarella sticks too!

One question: To me, the ones in the photo look like full-size sticks. If they were cut in half (like your recipe says), I'd expect them to by a lot shorter, almost nugget-size. (The sticks I buy are one ounce each, and 5 inches long.)

I'm guessing that you cut them in half LENGTHWISE. Am I close?

Nope!

:)

The pic is one a reader submitted of THEIR sticks. Mine are about half that size. In truth you can cut them whatever way you want to cut them, though. They still turn out the same.
