I am not doing low carb or any other bonkers diet, it's just I have such a hard time getting protein into my diet.
I don't really eat meat that often. I do eat fish about twice a week. I eat cheese, drink milk, eat nuts and peanut butter.
However, I am still not getting enough protein. Anyone have any other ideas???

Yes that is the brand name..I compared them to others sold in the store and it seems to have the least amount of sugar, I also like detour bars

My new favorite thing: Chick peas that are baked for about 35 minutes and then tossed with herbs/spices. They get crunchy and it's a good substitute for chips. They have protein and fiber, like most beans (though I otherwise don't really like beans)

Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein. So is tuna.
Watch the protein bars, they often have a lot of carbs. I like Balance Bars the best.
I eat it for Breakfast every day with a little honey and fruit - it tastes great, fills me up, and is way better than a bagel!

I drink a whey protein drink every morning. I have been doing this for 9 years now. I am sick of it, but whey protein is the best you can eat.
I buy Designer Why or try something similar from GNC or Vitamin shop. Just mix with water, get a tupperware container that allows you to shake it up. It have very little carbs, almost none.
