Well Lean shirataki (sp) noodles under protein based topping.  It has no protein value itself but at 0 carbs and calories,, you can eat a lot more of the protein and greens without amping up pasta carbs that you may not need if not doing a lot of  high cardio.

You don't have time measure protein in grams. Just eat it. Are you afraid if getting too much or too little [/quote]

I have trouble getting enough protein.  Tracking is the only way I found works for me not to lose muscle.  Sarcopenia is new.  I think over time I'll be able to eyeball but not experienced enough yet.

you only have trouble because you highly restrict how many calories you eat in a day, to your detriment, so you are trying to hack eating enough nutrients to live when you will not let yourself eat enough. Eating a chicken breast and an avocado a day would give you enough protein, but nope, you can't spare that many calories just for "protein" when you also need to sneak in "fiber", there isn't enough room![/quote]

Ding ding ding.  And if you aren’t getting enough calories, all the protein in the world isn’t going to save you from losing muscle and bone at a fast rate.[/quote]
