The worst. 80 grams of sugar and 2600mg sodium per serving for half the processed stuff....

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned the One bars. They have 20 protein and 7 fiber, which I think makes them stand out among the protein bars. Beef jerky was a great suggestion, I didn’t realize how little a serving and low in calories for a ton of protein!

If you want something that's super simple grab just bare nuggets. You toss them in the air frier for 7-15 minutes depending on your machine and they're done. Otherwise I eat ground beef, quinoa, or chicken breasts alongside 2 scoops of protein in the morning.

Making homemade paneer is very easy, and quite high protein! Boil then curdle milk, strain, chill, eat!

Goddammit they're not chicken embrios. The yoke is what the unborn chick survives on. Unless an @gg is fertilized, there's just no embrio. Chickens have an @gg a day without a rooster. 🤬
What kind of spell check is this fucked up? I ran a test too.

Low fat greek yogurt of high protein, ultrafiltered milk of concentrated protein.
I know chicken is a go-to option but honestly cooking chicken that often will make me hate chicken. I can eat yogurt or high protein milk all day however.

raw venison is surprisingly tasty and healthy and protein rich

Davids bars are 30g of protein and 150 calories. They sell them at walmart now 4 for around $12 in a box.
One of my favorite lunches lately are quinoa bowls with black beans. I can prep these at the beginning of the week and just switch up the protein throughout the week, depending on my mood. I alternate between salmon, the single packets of tuna from Sam's club, and one of the pre-cooked frozen chicken breasts from Sam's club.

My recent discovery to boost protein intake is Skyr. I blend it with a 1.5 dose of my whey isolate powder, and 2-3 tea spoons of milled flaxseed. Add some berrys on the top and there's nothing better after my main meal of the day. It gives me loads of protein, fiber and vitamins. Got 3 different flavours of whey powder for rotation. Also use raspberry and blueberry back to back....eating that dessert everyday, for the last few weeks and haven't got bored of yet...

I always have black beans in my fridge, high in protein and fiber. A they’re only 55cents pound. If you buy the 25# bag at Costco. With a side of broccoli and quinoa is my go to. For meat I used to make mostly ground beef, however now I smoke a 5# bag of chicken thighs.
Remember to eat enough fiber on any GLP1, that’s what will keep your digestive system functioning and mitigate most of the GI side effects.
I love Skyr! Unfortunately for me, there is only one grocery store near me that sells it, and it is hella expensive there. I make due with my greek yogurt and berry combo for an evening snack.

Yeah I think Skyr is not so popular in States, as it is Icelandic stuff. I can get it in any grocery store around, and costs me €2.99 for 800ml container. Greek yoghurt is very similar and I also gave it a try. It's not too bad, but a bit too sour, which makes the final dessert flavour not as delicious as the Skyr version.

I have been on about 40-50% of calories protein diet for the past 3 1/2 years, has not killed me yet and kidney function has improved rather than gotten worse, most effective food there is for hunger control per calorie
Lean meat seems more filling than anything else per calorie
Eggs of course, even short cut bacon with all the fat cut off is ok
Low fat no added sugar high protein yoghurt, either the flavoured ones or plain/greek with frozen raspberries and a bit of fake sugar all mushed up is almost as nice as ice cream, or canned fruit like peaches or apricots without the juice mixed with high protein yoghurt
Recently there has been a high protein cheese Bega in Aus with 35g protein and 15 fat per 100g 270 kcal/100g which is not too bad, I think Bega is an aussie brand so may not be available elsewhere, but there are probably equivalents, quite filling in small amounts
Been adding hydrolysed collagen powder to meat and vegetable soups to crank up the protein content without having to add as much expensive lean meat to the soup. Pretty much tasteless.

Here is my go to seasoning: LIGHTLY coat the fish, scallops, and shrimp in olive oil. Then, season with: salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and either paprika or curry powder, whichever I am in the mood for. Finally, I add some minced garlic on top of everything. Alternatively, I forgo the paprika/curry and instead sprinkle some dried basil on top. I cover in foil, then bake for about 40 mins (everything is frozen, direct from the freezer), uncover, turn the broil on, and let everything crisp up on top for the next 15 minutes. Take out of the oven, squeeze some lemon juice over everything, and dinner is served 9with a heaping side of veggies, usually broccoli or cauliflower)

Chobani protein yogurt is a go to for me. 20g of protein with 140 calories. Costco has a 2lb bag of Chipotle chicken for $11.99, great source of protein. I also cook up 2-3 lbs of chicken breast of Sunday and put it in 200g bags to add to meals or for a snack between meals. Salmon for dinner at least one night per week, great protein. Also keep plenty of meat sticks (Chomps are great). Protein pop from Costco is a great supplemental source as well as protein shakes. When eating lunch out Chipotle bowls with double the protein. Chicken bowl with double protein has 64g of protein for $13.

Make sure you store them upside down and shake them vigorously frequently because otherwise the protein settles into a gelatinous goo at the bottom of the can and it will not reincorporate.

Step 1: Lay out your frozen protein onto a foil lined pan. In this case, I have swai fillet, shrimp, and scallops. Lightly coat with olive oil, then season with salt, (pepper is optional: my stomach is too sensitive for it so I leave it out), garlic powder, onion powder, and either herbal mix, paprika, cumin, or curry powder: whatever floats your boat. In this case, I am using simple dried basil.
Step 2: Cover in foil to seal in the steam.
Step 3: Bake @ 330 degrees for 40 minutes, then remove foil cover, then broil for 20 minutes (this depends, of course, on your oven. Time's may vary slightly).
Step 4: Serve with veggies, squeeze some lemon juice over everything, and voila.

Tinned fish. I have an affinity for Wild Planet Saba mackerel, and Matiz sardines in olive oil.
I eat lots of beef, got a half from local farm/butcher.
Other Seafood, octopus and octopus tentacles, and squid or giant squid tentacles (usually purchased at Lidl) along with wild caught shrimp when they have it on sale.
I will chow down on lamb leg, chops, breast, and ground it available or or sale as a change of pace from a ruminant perspective.
I eat some chicken. Very little pork.
Lots of “raw” dairy from a family farm over an hour away that delivers every other week 15 min from my house. That’s raw cottage cheese (no weird added food science) raw cream, cheese and milk, and yogurt (has been pasteurized before yogurt fermentation). Honestly don’t know about the raw aspects and how much it matters but they’re one of the few sources near me that is free of emulsifiers. So its all just cream, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Its not cheap but its delicious.
