[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Center each meal and snack around protein. It's a good idea to make a list of all the protein sources you/they like and how much protein it gives you. For example: 3 oz cooked chicken breast 25g, 3/4 c greek yogurt 14g.

Another good rule of thumb when deciding if something is a good/high protein source is to take the g of protein and multiply that by 10. That value should be equal to or greater than the calories. So 4 oz uncooked chicken breast is 120 calories with 25g protein. 25*10= 250 which is > 120- good source of protein.

Peanut butter: 2 tbsp is 190 calories and 7 g protein. 7*10=70 which is < 190 so while it has protein is it not a good source when compared to the calories.

I will hit 133 g today in only 1300 calories:

Breakfast: ~1 c Eggwhites from carton (22g) with parmesan cheese (9g0
1/2 scoop protein powder in coffee (10g)
Apple

Snack: 1/3 c greek yogurt (7g) with raspberries and chia seeds (4g)

Lunch: 
3 oz cooked chicken breast (25g)
zucchini noodles
sauce- blend 1/2 c marinara with 1/2 c cottage cheese (13g)

Snack 2: Edamame- (8g)

Dinner: 
4 oz pork tenderloin (23g)
Cooked kale
rice[/quote]

You’re so kind - TY for all of this![/quote]

+1 love the suggestion to add cottage cheese to marinara!

I'll add my current high protein breakfast:
1/3 c. greek yogurt (7 g)
2 tb hemp seeds (6 g)
scoop vanilla whey protein powder (20 g)
tsp cocoa powder
1/4 c. thawed frozen berry mix

Sometimes I'll mix pb2 powder into this instead of the cocoa powder.[/quote]

PP, TY for this - do you mind sharing your menus for the rest of the day? Their doctor seems concerned that an AM protein shake may put them off eating lunch. My suggestion was that they have half in AM and half in PM. [/quote]
