High Calorie High Protein?

[shelbell]

Need ideas for high calorie high protein foods, as I'm eating my body weight in cheese at the moment.

Doing bolognese tomorrow, which should be a good one as I'll have that on its own (or with cheese lol), but need more ideas?

Also my energy levels are not ideal for standing and cooking lol. Simple things Am not a big red meat fan at all.

Hi shell what about cheese omelletes, pork dishes, also indian food is high in proteins due to the gee(butter) that they use, but could be too fatty for you

its me again shell, lol, call of nature.
Foods..... also fish of course and all pulses ,so fish braised in milk or make white or parsley sauce with powdered milk, or buy packet and check contents
lentil or bean soups or stews with veg added
Obviously all the dairy stuff but know some of it is difficult but adding milk powder to actual milk increases the protein intake
Dont know if you like advocados they are high in protein too and have some fats in.
There are lots of things I could suggest, but you are better than me at knowing what you can tolerate with your by-pass
Dont know if this will help shell but hope it does
Wish Iwas nearer you I would cook you and bump some stuff and bring it over xx
