Good Choices at Home

Here are some high protein, low calorie choices at home.

Eggs: boiled, salad, deviled, scrambled, bites (some wls patients have problems with eggs so proceed with caution)

• I like to keep boiled eggs in the fridge so I'm not caught off guard when running late.

Turkey and Chicken -

• Frozen Fully Cooked Chicken heats up in the microwave in 2 minutes.  These are my fave at 110 calories and 24 g protein.  3-4 ounces 

beef/ steak
tuna
milk
beans
Greek yogurt:

• My favorite is the 4 pack of 4 ounce containers of the honey flavor by Oikos (Stonyfield Farms Organic).  4 ounes is just the right amount for me.  90 calories and 10 g protein.

Cottage Cheese:  The best I have found.  I get the 2%.
Ricotta Cheese
Light Laughing Cow Cheese -

• Blue Cheese and Queso Fresco are my faves.  35 calories and 2 g protein

Cheese sticks and cheese wheels -

• My fave cheese sticks and my fave cheese wheel.

Veggie Patties

• My fave - 90 calories, 9 g protein

meatballs
shrimp, fish
burgers, roast
Chili

• I like to buy the microwavable cups of chili for when I don't have some in the freezer or get caught at work without a good wls option.

lentils: like in lentil stew
quinoa: good recipe for quinoa.
frozen fish:

• Gorton's Grilled Tilapia microwaveable 80 calories, 14 g protein
