[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protein shake, chicken, fish, beans, eggs, collagen.[/quote]

Collagen - interesting - will look into that.

Think doctor told them that they are worried that the protein shake might hinder them from eating protein at lunch and dinner. What if they had a small shake in the AM, then again at night?[/quote]

Collagen is not a complete protein, my doctor told me not to count it toward protein goal.

OP - eggs (3 or 1 w/added boxed whites and veg), greek yogurt, sausage, bacon or leftovers for breakfast are good options, you can add nuts and berries to the yogurt

lunch - salad with chicken or fish, add some hardboiled eggs if did not have for breakfast. if the volume of salad is too filing, mostly protein. for some reason chicken lunchmeat does not fill me up in the same way as chicken strips or shredded chicken. i sometimes use something like egg life wraps which are pure protein with lunchmeat, mustard, shredded carrots)

snack between meals or shake at bedtime - quality no sugar whey shake (not sugary like Ensure, I use a WF powder or premixed Core Power shakes which tend not to fill me up for some reason) or greek yogurt with nuts for protein and berries

dinners sound fine

Plant proteins are not as bioavailable, since the meds suppress appetite so much, a focus on bioavailable animal protein should predominate was the guidance I got, rather than sugary oats/cereal with soy added (my prior go to).

We all need plenty of high quality protein with age to build and protect bones and muscle mass, especially as it sounds like she has had recent health problems.

You are a stellar person to take in an ailing relative. I hope her health is fully back on track soon. [/quote][/quote]
