Having Problems

I'm getting really frustrated because it seems the more I try to get back on track, the less results I see. I am getting in 60-80 oz. a day of water, getting enough fiber, but when it comes to protein, I can't seem to get it all in. I drink 1 protein shake (17g) a day, ready mixed, and I'm eating eggs, meat etc.,  but I guess I'm going to have to buy protein powder to use in things. I'M JUST SO FRUSTRATED HELP

Do you like chicken or fish? When that snacky monster hits me I reach for these things. Sounds wierd, but I always keep one of those supermarket rotisorie chickens on hand, and maybe some shrimps and ****tail sauce. Sounds like a decadant snack, but it gets that many more grams of protein in rather than choking down shakes. I'm not a shakes fan, I like em, but no way I'd rather drink a shake than have 1/2 cup of chopped chicken with some salad dressing. There's tuna in a can also, they have ready made tuna salads in small cans with 6 ritz-type crackers. Excellent source of protein, and a good snack too.

Hope some of that helps.

Hey Melissa,

Here are a couple of suggestions...First of all check your protein drink, there are a lot of them out there that have 25 grams.  I put a scoop of Isopure vanilla whey protein in my oatmeal, fruit smoothies, Fage yogurt with fruit and SF syrups.  Eat eggs, chicken, shrimp, fish, LF cheese, lean roast beef, LF swiss cheese and SF pickel roll ups.  I love a snack of Laugh cow cheese and baby bel cheese.  Drink milk if you can....

Here is an example of what I may eat for the day:
