[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how to consume more proteins. 
An egg, half an avocado, chicken, beef...
What else? We eat a different protein each day from chicken, ground beef, pork, beans, ground turkey, fish, and a combo of all the leftovers. The more I eat nuts, the faster my teeth will fall to pieces.

I don't feel like I'm eating enough. I can't eat additional sugar of any type since I'm prediabetic. And I'm not overweight, just at 115lbs at 5'3.

Try some protein powder in a veggie smoothie or drink. I put 2 scoops of collagen peptide in my coffee every morning. [/quote]

DP: So I've been counting my collagen peptides protein towards my daily protein intake but then heard that collagen protein is not a complete protein as it lacks one essential amino acid, so should not be counted.  then I googled it and found this:

PP - in terms of protein sources you are safe eating 2-3 eggs a day assuming cholesterol is not an issue for you.  On top of that, 4 ounces of chicken, salmon or beef twice a day will get you where you need to be.  also full fat cottage cheese has a ton of protein. [/quote]
