Need To Increase My Protein

[jasonD2]

and its difficult to eat meat all day. can anyone recommend a good way to increase my protein intake? are there any supplements/powders that are easy to digest & free of allergens?

thx

choose other foods higher in protein. beans/legumes, whole (gluten-free) grains, soy (in moderation), dairy (if you can have it), eggs, nuts/seeds, plenty of whole vegetables. with that, and eating meat once or twice a day, you don't need supplements to get to 100-120g of protein a day.

there are gluten free protein powders out there aplenty. do you have other restrictions besides gluten?

[jasonD2]

yeah cant do soy, eggs or dairy either. Beans and nuts seem to constipate me

I have seen a rice whey powder in Raleys. Know nothing about its protein content. Perhaps make smoothies with almond or hemp milk, bananas, etc. etc.

Quinoa has a lot more protein in it than many other grains. How about fish? Tuna on gluten-free rice crackers?

I bought some rice protein powder but haven't used it yet because like you, I can't have eggs or dairy and those are two foods it is commonly put in.

You might try chia seeds. Mix them with water to a gel, let sit overnight and eat a few spoonfuls. They really keep me going.
