More protein!? - WLSurgery.com

JO28172 · 11th February, 2012

just checked my dogs gravy bones and they are 11% protein!

.....<thinking> hmmmm....?

But seriously what's your favourite way of upping your protein levels everyone?

stuckinafatsuit · 11th February, 2012

Hi jo
I have 1 protein whey powder drink every day, 80g of protein a serving. I have to hold my nose to drink it though!

Lol. Dog biscuits... Can u dunk them in tea? I need to up protein do interested in any answers on this one..

Karlos · 11th February, 2012

80g in one serving just gives you very expensive wee LOL we cannot assimilate that much in one go. You should also clear that amount with your NUT, when you add in the protein from your food as well, unless you are working out quite heavily where you body is using the high level to repair itself you might be getting to a protein intake that could harm your renal system.

I would have a Fage yoghurt with some protein powder mixed in. It gives the yoghurt a nicer taste and ups the protein to a more usable 30g

I will check this out monday, cheers

Oops ive just had another look at my protein powder packet and its 80g of protein every 100g. One serving is 25g with milk, so thats 20g not 80g. Must read nutritional info more closely!!

JO28172 · 11th February, 2012

Still sounding like protein powder would help boost me! Kim...what ya like lol. Looks like need to start looking into getting some powder! So long as I don't get the body builder stuff

TwinkleTwinkle · 11th February, 2012

I just have chicken or beef every day as along with my other food this brings me up to around 70/80 grms a day. Lucky I am a meat lover & can tolerate any kind, hey

I only ever get it to mid 40s at best!!!!! I know it's not essential as a bander but as its proven way of helping with weight loss I do want to do what I can! ...so far just relied on chicken breast a day and little bits elsewhere like babybel light etc... Xx

If you are a tea drinker, it is easy to add a spoon or 2 of Marvel = 5grms, use Primula light cheese spread on either Melba toast or Carr's Melts = 5grms, bacon, cottage cheese, my favourite fillet steak, even baked beans. I know you are not one to do many home cooked meals, chick but it is a lot easier to use pulses if you do. Did you try a slow cooker? If you send me your email add I will send you the list of high protein foods I downloaded a few months ago & has been really helpful to me. You are doing really well, whatever you are doing, honey xxx

It is essential if you want to maximise your success. Protein is your friend and keeps you feeling fuller longer so it's a good idea to get in twice your current intake. It's easy to get more in, milk is your friend here xxx

shana · 11th February, 2012

Hi karlos i use protein drinks and get in around 90 to 100g a day, is this too much as im not doing much exercise yet?

Raynebubble · 11th February, 2012

eggs are high in protein... so you can have an egg with your lunch or breakfast... and you can have them hard boiled as a snack xx
