[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take a ton of Vitamin D. How do you get up to the required protein? I have a really hard time with it, even though I eat protein (chicken or fish, sometimes red meat) twice a day. [/quote]

I am not protein focused, but I track my daily food intake and always get over 100g protein. I have yogurt/berries/walnuts for breakfast, and add milk and collagen powder to my coffee; sometimes I have a couple hard boiled eggs for mid morning snack; for lunch I have a salad with grilled chicken, nuts (lots of veggies, too); for snack I have veggies and hummus; for dinner it’s salmon and veggies and a little rice or such. I have other foods, too, but I named typical ones I eat which get me to over 100g of daily protein, usually around 120g total. [/quote]

Thanks. I can't eat nuts or yogurt unfortunately. The rest of your diet sounds like mine. What does the collagen powder do for you?[/quote]

I add collagen powder to my morning coffee primarily for bone health and joint aches, but it also adds 18g of protein.

Can you eat seeds? Pumpkin and sunflower seeds can be added to salads, etc for protein boost. Also what about non dairy yogurt? In your case I might add a scoop of protein powder to a non dairy yogurt to increase protein intake. [/quote]
