Protein packed foods

Hey everybody! I’m looking for some protein packed foods. I dont really want to use protein shakes and powders. I know lean meats like chicken are packed, but I still need more protein. Any recomendations of food or recipes? Also any low carb high protein foods.

Thanks, Amanda

fish, egg whites

Meats and dairy are the highest foods in protein per calorie. At some level you’re going to have to rely upon them…especially if you don’t want to use protein powders. Though, I’m not sure why you’d be afraid to use them. Nuts, and beans are also high in protein, but not nearly as high as meats and dairy.

Hey there, I don’t know how to start a thread on this board, but hoping I still get a response. I’ve been using daily burn for almost 2 weeks. There is a note on my locker room that says:

Nutrition Status:
Only 2 calorie goals met this past week.

My calorie goal is 1398 per day
My protein is 81

I work out nearly every day and when I log the calories I burn the software tells me to eat more. This seems counter intuitive to me. When I exceeded my 1398 calories this week which then was offset by workouts the system says that I hit the goal.

I eat very a very healthy and boring diet (no processed foods, no white pasta, potato, rice, sugar, etc). I need to eat less than what I eat today to lose weight, volume is my problem.

Thank you in advance for your help!

@griffkim,

Redo the tool to calculate your calorie goals, but turn OFF the “advanced diet goals”. Currently, your calories don’t take your activity level into account at all; when you log a workout, then your daily calorie intake bumps up. Once you turn off that goal, you’ll get a slightly higher calorie range, but it will never change.

Nuts, almonds, cheese, yoghurt, milk and other low-fat dairy, lean meats, seafood, baked beans, other beans, eggs…
Easy and quick snacks are nuts, cheese, yoghurts and tins of tuna and chicken, sliced ham added to a salad, almonds will bulk up a pumpkin soup or other veg soup.

Some non-meat protein sources I like are greek yogurt, skim milk, high protein cereals (like Kashi), nuts and nut butter, cottage cheese and eggs.

Beans of all types are a great source of protein. Quinoa is a good sources as well.

I have a hard time getting in enough protein as well. Every meal and snack I try to eat really high protein foods but never seem to meet my protein goal. Its definitely cut down my fat and carb intake which is great but I’m getting bored of eating chicken, high protein cereals ect…

I do a cup of cottage cheese, 1%

For lunch, I will have a whole can of tuna mixed with 1/8 cup of mayo and 1/8 cup of plain fat-free Greek yogurt.

1/2 cup Egg Beaters with 3-4 TB salsa.

Handful of almonds twice a day.

Good luck!

I have a good background with this as i have also studied nutrition. If you want foods that are rich in protein kindly observe this guide that i made.

Common protein rich foods can include:

Milk
Soy Milk
Eggs
Cheese
Yogurt
Peanut Butter
Lean Meats, Fish, and Poultry
Beans, Legumes
Grains, including bread and pasta
Nuts and Seeds

So far this is all i know. I hope this help you.

Have you tried Amazon?

siter,

I use to buy protein bars online, and one day I found a recipe to make my own. Instead of spending $30+ every two weeks, I think on average, I spend about $5 every two weeks on ingredients. I found a no-cook receipe. Just mix the ingredients up, put the mixture in a pan, put it in the fridge overnight, and presto … home made protein bars. From what I have read, the bars that you can buy in stores, etc are full of fillers. You control what you eat by making them at home.
Just do a Google search …..

Good luck!

Guys I’m pretty sure siter is a spammer. He/she asks a question and posts a link to the answer. And this is his/hers first post top of all that. Almost always when you see a first time poster, posting a link, its a spammer.
