Mary0913 · March 2009

Since I'm sick of chicken Ick!

and can only eat so much peanut butter, I was wondering what creative and yummy ways you've found to get your protein! Thanks ladies and good morning BTW!!

I can't manage to swallow most chicken, beef, fish or pork - so I'm eating beef jerky. It might not be the healthiest, but I'm getting some protein!

Cheese, yogurt, eggs (egg salad)

Cheese/Dairy... but if you like cottage cheese I would do that. It has lots of protien. I like cottage cheese and you can add different fruits with it and crackers to change it up, but best of all lots of protien.

DH puts a meat or fish in every dinner we have. I drink a half glass of milk every night. I have nuts or something with peanut butter every day. Cheese is a good one... I should do that more often.

...and I make cookies pretty regularly, and usually put nuts in them. That counts, right? Wink

this.

yogurt, tzatziki, hummus, cottage cheese. grab a big glass of milk and eat it with chocolate cake - you'll feel better!

I'm not a big meat eater, especially at lunchtime, but I love hummus with pita bread or a homemade bean burrito with reduced fat refried beans, cheese, salsa and a tortilla. Any type of beans also work - sprinkle them on salads or in Mexican dishes.

Good luck! Chicken can get untasty -- really fast!

Ditto. Freestanding meat is not my friend.

Starlette1983 · March 2009

besides meat, I have bagels that have 9-10g of protein, and I also love vanilla or cinnamon almonds (Blue Diamond brand). They are AWESOME!!!

Ditto on cheese and nuts. I also try to get in some extra by getting oatmeal, granola bars, etc. with extra protein (check the Kashi brands). And the Special K protein snack bars are great - the chocolate peanut ones taste like a candy bar.

Laughing cow cheese and chocolate milk...yummy!

Bacon, egg and cheese biscuits Embarrassed

haha they're the only thing that calm my stomach in the morning, and they have a ton of protein (and calories, but let's save that convo for another day)!

Peanut butter!

Embers · March 2009

Cottage Cheese, or I make the Carnation Instant Breakfast (lots of vitamins, surprisingly!) and add a scoop of protein powder I got at GNC.

Aimee&Bill · March 2009

Cheese and Eggs are my two favorite things right now. I have not been able to eat much meat this whole pregnancy so I have been relying on those two and Peanut Butter.

Yogurt, cheese, & cottage cheese- I haven't wanted an egg since I got pg, and I'm not a big meat eater. I seem to be fine- no anemia!

Cheese omelet!

cathy_and_matt · March 2009

Try greek yogurt-it's got a lot more protein than the reg kinds, and IMO, tastes the same.

kchoi · March 2009

eggs and cheese

in my life · March 2009

Since I'm a vegetarian I get it in a lot of different ways...tofu, nuts (especially almonds), peanut butter, almond butter, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, beans...
