Need Sub for Protein Powder

I JUST realized that I'm out, and there is no where here to buy more until tomorrow. I start a new job tomorrow that I get up at 4am for and drive a long commute to be at work at 8am and get done at 5pm with a drive home. I won't be able to buy any until at least 5pm tomorrow evening. My dilema is that I have two meals during the day while at work that are protein shakes. What can I substitute that is just as convenient, around the same protein, with no more than 4 carb and 4 fat? -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

You can always take away some fatty foods out of your other meals to make up the difference...one day out of 365 isn't going to kill you... -------------- If hard work and persistence were the keys to success, most people would opt to pick the lock.~Dick

I've been looking for something more concentrated to use in recipes. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

I went with chicken breasts for today. Worked out pretty well. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.
