GLP-1 Protein Hacks

If you make Kodiak pancakes with eggs and milk those are good too. Agree with cottage cheese... so many recipes that include it. Also if you're looking for vegetable non-soy protein, I like seitan. Field roast sausage is pretty processed, but I like it in a skillet with potatoes or sweet potatoes and vegetables.

None of these are near enough

My son likes the Chobani protein drinks but I don't like the taste of the fake sugar. I like trubar protein bars. You should be eating a gram per lb of weight in protein.

The Fairlife drinks are full of Sucrlose

Yes but you have to make a choice. Is the protein more important than a fairly limited amount of this? One a day will not do harm and was suggested by doctor and by nutritionist.

Disagree. One of these every single day isn’t good for you. Thats a lot of chemical garbage to ingest daily. Maybe if you said a rare snack when on the go from the gas station or something. But you shouldn’t be relying on these for daily nutrition. Now add on other fake sugars you are probably consume in bars, protein powders, diet sodas, other foods marketed for being low calorie/sugar.

Greek yogurt with protein powder and a little bit of protein cinnamon Cheerios for crunch. I add cinnamon and fake sweetener to the yogurt. I bought low mercury canned tuna and sometimes eat that for breakfast. I mix it with yogurt, mayo and mustard for tuna salad.

Really? This isn’t even that much. 30g of protein per meal is pretty standard and often surpassed if there is meat in the meal. Do you eat eggs? Meat other than fish/tuna?

Agree with everyone saying eat real food (skip the protein powders, bars and shakes). It's easy to get enough protein if you are a little bit thoughtful - cottage cheese or real yogurt with breakfast, beans or chicken in a soup or salad at lunch, and at dinner can be meat or fish or tofu

This is how I add protein to my diet to try to reach 90/day. I haven’t surpassed 80g/day yet. I do eat eggs and meat, but I wouldn’t call those “hacks.” Those are just normal parts of a meal.

I don’t always eat 3 meals a day during the week due to my work schedule. It’s hard to eat a protein bomb of a meal 40 min before bed.

All beans are not equal. Add lentils - 24g protein per cup, vs. about 15g in chickpeas.

I echo the folks who say add cottage cheese, tofu, and seitan.

Well, you can’t get enough protein because you aren’t eating enough food and are skipping meals. Most people eating normally that aren’t vegetarian would have zero problems getting 90g of protein per day.

Thanks for your thoughts on my eating habits.

Tempeh- I like the Trader Joe’s one- cube if and air fry for 10 mins, tons of protein and fiber. Toss on salad, eat a few cubes as a snack, whatever.

To add: the “upper safe limit” (UL) for dietary protein, is set at 35% of total calorie intake by the macronutrients subcommittee of the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) in 2002. 10% is effective, maybe find a happy place in between 10-25%?

Do you eat 7 eggs for breakfast everyday?
