    High Protein Diet

    Doc told me to get on a high protein diet. I'm trying to stay away from those protein shakes. So, I'd like to hear some of your favorite foods as well as dishes you like to cook up.

    The doc gave you no directions for the diet? How much protein? Total cals? Recommended foods? Exercise recs? That's all he said?

    High Protein Diet

    Eggs bro, the whole thing, whites & yolks work together. It's some of the best & complete source of protein you can get. Get "free range" if you can, the "cage free" is a nice way of saying "giant fence so tons of birds can shit on each other & die". Of coarse organic is best but not always affordable. The less cooked, the more intact the proteins. I usually put 3-4 in a shake a couple times a day:

    3-4 eggs
    Peanut butter (actual peanut butter)
    1 banana (sometimes 2)
    Juice from 1 lemon
    A big pinch of fresh cilantro
    A few baby carrots
    Cinnamon
    Ginger
    Nutmeg
    (Add water do desired thin/thickness)

    Then blend the crap out of it. I turn it on high & go do something else for a couple minutes.

    I eat a boat load of organs. Chicken liver, chicken heart, & beef heart. Prepare however you want, I make Thai style stir fry. Don't overcook it, too much heat sort of mutates the proteins. And the vegetables can pretty much stay raw but heated up, if that makes sense. Avoid charring your meats. It will actually do you more harm (but tastes delicious :/)

    Peace bro!

    I agree with Will, why did he tell you this? Do you know how much nutrition education a doctor is required to have to graduate? I will answer if for you its ZERO! You need a nutritionist, high protein diet will cause a lot of stress on your liver.

    Re: High Protein Diet

    Is the Op currently training?

    My favs besides meat and beans:

    Ezekiel bread toast with peanut butter and apple butter .the bread is made with beans and lentils etc. Its more expensive but I like it and Im not a zen raised chicken organic type person.

    Edamomi(?) Beans work good it certain dishes where other beans dont and are good by themselves.

    Cottage cheese before bed for that casein.

    This was a neurologist who told me this. No instructions other than eat lots of protein. I've had problems with rhabdomyolysis (break down of muscle tissue into the blood stream) from the military and am trying to get back the muscle I've lost.

    Sounds like you need a nutritionist, was it a VA doc?

    That sounds like it would be better with brown rice instead of tortillas and a better salsa.

    I'll look into a nutritionist. No VA at this time. I'm currently trying to get my unit to send in a Line of Duty Investigation request. So, until that gets approved everything is out of pocket.
