How do you get all the protein?

gawdess Posts: 35 Joined: 2003/12/23	2004/01/07, 09:09 AM According to my diet profile I should be getting 189g of protein. I am stuck around 150 or so. I have 2 eggs for breakfast,Tuna for lunch, and some sort of meat at dinner. I know Whey Protein is an option and I created another thread on this forum to get some help choosing the best one. Any other special Protein rich foods I could be missing here:? My diet is low carb and sugar free.

You can always just add to what yo are already eating. Add another eggwhite, another ounce of tuna, another ounce of chicken, and so on. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Sometimes I put them in my stir fry or alongside broccoli with some soy sauce.....

Especially, when I can not cook for myself. -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author

Some meal planning will help, but a protein shake can easily add 20-40g of Protein. My goal is 245g and I've been reaching it lately, but I'm on a mission to change up the tuna.
