Pre-op I wouldn't have touched fish with a bargepole, but now I'm so desperate to get my protein in that I'm eating it most days. Weird thing is that it actually tastes better than it used to.
I get my protein from fish, cheese and milk at present. I probably don't have enough though.

Google food sources of protein for lists of things you might not have thought of. Ideally you should be aiming for 80g of protein per day. You can use a website like myfitnesspal or foodfocus to log your intake and see the breakdown of protein/carbs etc. Don't assume that 50g of chicken is 50g of protein as it doesn't work that way.

At each meal eat protein first, then veg/salad, and lastly carbs if still hungry. Make sure your snacks are protein based, such as yoghurt, nuts, cheese etc.

Keep coming back to this thread and re-reading...... I feel the reason I haven't been as successful as some is because I haven't eaten as much protein as I should

First time I have seen this post brilliant and it does take some reading but we'll worth it as a DS person I try to get the correct amount of protein but sometimes not as much as I should but will definitely remember this post and make sure I get it right
