High Protein Ideas

[AirWolf]

Just started a high protein diet a few days ago and I'm getting sick of it already...wondering if you guys have any good ideas for high protein snacks/meals. On my current list are:

Protein Shakes
Eggs
Steak
Tuna + Mustard
Chicken + Lettuce
Nuts
Cottage Cheese

Making gains is a hard lifestyle. If you want the gains , you gotta suck it up!
Some additions to what you have
yogart
milk (lacatid ultra for intolerant people)
pork
Nuts includes a wide range of thing from sunflower kernels to macedamia. I'd do all

You can use some beef and make some patties or whatnot. Don't forget natty peanut butter. Tofu and beans to add some variety if you are up to it.

tofu...

I wasn't going to say soy because I thought I was the only person that used it. Also the point about allergies needs to be mentioned again. If you have peanut allergy stay away from peanut or peanut butter. U can die from fatal asphyxiation

Everyone knows Tuna is great for protein but it does get old. The ol tuna and mustard makes my stomach turn now. I eat the hickory smoked tuna. It comes in the aluminum pouch and is already drained. It has the same quality protein and it does taste very good plain. It is a little high, 2.00 dollars a pouch, but if you like it, you can easily get 90 grams a day just on tuna. I just open it up and eat it with a fork, you dont get that messy tuna feel either. Just open and eat. I think it is like 40 or 45 grams per pouch, hope this helps you.

Tuna really isn't that great a source of protien on the list of quality protien sources. If it's tuna or nothing, go for the tuna of course. This isn't a flame, just a fact.
You can also include other fish like salmon and actual tuna fillets or steaks (the pouched or canned stuff just don't cut it), seafood like crab, lobster, shrimp, LEAN ground beef, turkey, cheeses (you'll need a little extra fat while on low carb high protien), wild game meats like deer, moose, elk, caribou, etc., etc.
If you're having trouble getting in enough protien through solid foods, just kick up how many protien shakes you're taking.
