protein list?
At 2 weeks pre op I'm starting to think harder about my upcoming life and I'd love to have a list of different meats etc and how much protein per ounce they have so I can make the best choices each day.
If anyone knows of such a list can you point me in that direction? Thanks!

Lits like this are everywhere>>
- Chicken breast, 3.5 oz - 30 grams protein
- Chicken thigh – 10 grams (for average size)
- Drumstick – 11 grams
- Wing – 6 grams
I was thinking of a printable list I can carry in my purse for when I have to eat out or when I go grocery shopping etc. at least until I get the hang of this. Sorry but my ADD makes lists a must have for me and the simpler the better as I sit and try to do the math I just get frustrated I have enough anxiety just being in a store without adding to it.

Today : 145-150
I am half the person I was in 2008.
Or go hopping from site to site to create a list.
But once the list is done it's done.
I was just hoping that someone else had created what I'm looking for and had it out there or someone knew where one was.
good luck with your surgery and recovery.

So as I've been watching people state how many grams of protein they are getting a day I thought to myself "well crap how do you know which meat has how many grams" How are people keeping track?
People post over and over on getting enough protein in and I have no idea how to count it.. I've only ever counted calories and never worried about anything else.
