Is there somewhere to get a list of how much protein is in various foods without looking them up individually etc?

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!

Did you try googling it?

Yes I found different "lists" but not what I'm looking for or what I think I'm looking for. I am thinking a printable type list that has per ounce amounts of protein.

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 mean what is "average size" and wings are all over in size and amount of meat.

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.

You can also get a book.

Banded  Oct 2008:  290       
RNY Feb 2012:        245    
Dr's set goal:            170 reached Oct 11, 2012
My goal:                     160  reached Dec 1, 2012
Today :                       145-150

I am half the person I was in 2008.

Yes I'm thinking that will be my best bet is to buy a book and make my own printable list of foods I like.

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.

You should be able to buy a little pocket calorie counter book to carry in your purse.  For a long time, it won't matter.  Protein is protein and you will be eating so little it won't matter if it is chicken leg or roast beef in terms of the number of grams of protein.  The determining factor in the beginning is what is on your program, soft and your pouch tolerates. 

good luck with your surgery and recovery.

I am going on Monday to my 4 hour class to find out what is on my plan but at the last NUT class she said there will be only 3 foods on your plan for quite some time: meat, cheese, eggs.

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.

I would suggest looking at some of the sites that do the tracking for you.  I use the tracker on this website since I am here all the time anyway.  then all you do is add your foods and it computes everything else.  There are lots of other free sites also.

Thank you! That site did not come up when I googled. I did find one site that listed grams but i didn't know how many ounces x amount of grams were and it didn't say so I just moved on. I must have looked at 50 sites before I posted this thread.
