Need more protein...

Since I CAN'T STAND or afford Protein drinks, I need some suggestions on what I can eat that has a lot of protein in it? Nothing fancy, I'm a plain food kind of girl! Chat Icon Thanks! Chat Icon

Peanuts with no salt on them (I like the ones that you have to shell yourself) are one of my favorites.

I always bring rolled up deli ham, turkey or chicken as a snack for more protein.

Premier nutrition bars. They are GOOD and loaded with 30G of protein. I get mine at Costco. 24 bars for $20.00

Re: Need more protein...

I'm a breakfast-for-dinner kind of person so I do this:

1/2 cup egg whites
1 slice turkey
1 1/2 slice american cheese
on 2 pieces of lightly toasted whole grain bread

It's something insane like 34 grams of protein I think? It holds me for the rest of the night, sometimes I'll have a WW ice cream bar too.

Other than that, all the other options have been listed, it's just what you do with them. I am a fan of low-fat peanut butter too, tuna, beans, chicken, lentils.
