Not an expert at all, only week 3 at 2.5mg, but here's what helps me with protein. The only bar I found that I like comes in flavors that are all good, only 12g protein and 200 calories, but it's a good snack. Calories dont bother me since I need more. Protein drinks: sample packs from several brands helped me choose. My favorite shake has 24g protein, lots of flavors, and plain chocolate is the best. I also love clear drink powders, 20g protein, especially kiwi strawberry mixed with fresh fruit, and an island punch flavor. Hubby grills chicken for me, good protein though I cant eat much at once, plus shrimp and tuna. Bread and wheat products are still off the table for my tummy. Breakfast is a smoothie of milk, plain Greek yogurt, a spoon of honey and frozen mixed fruit.
