Hi, Mia. There are lots of foods with protein in them. Here are some of my staples.

1% cottage cheese (14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup)

Dannon Lite & Fit greek yogurt (12 grams of protein)

2 oz of lunchmeat with one pc of string cheese (16 grams of protein)

2 oz of pork chop - I put mine in the crockpot to make them moist (14 grams of protein)

Quest bar (20 grams of protein)

Any type of meat, poultry, or seafood typically is high in protein.

I hope that helped. Good luck with getting your protein in!

Mia, I still mix unflavored protein with my greek yogurt for a super protein boost, but other than that, I haven't had a protein shake since very very early on. I get all my protein from food. Are you having trouble with food? Sorry I can't remember if you've posted about that.

Suzie's ideas are great. I would add stuff like meatballs in sauce, shrimp or tuna salad, eggs, egg drop soup, even beef jerky.

Good luck!

I seldom use a drink any more (at 3 months out) but almost everything I eat is protein protein protein.... I average 80 to 100 grams a day and around 900 calories.

What are you eating now? What types of foods and how much?

Hair loss is going to happen. It doesn't matter what you do. I know you will hear peple say it is protein and biotin but the docs say no.

I do on intense shake, and one quest bar a day and that gets my 73 grms. Then I try to eat in between there for some extra. I still struggle with food most days.

Your hair loss is not "your fault", it's part of the process. So please don't blame yourself. Just know that it"ll grow back, just do your best to put the best ingredient in you body so only the best comes out!

I get my protein from a daily protein bar, and I also have a small handful of nuts or a scoop of peanut butter, and of course my meals are mostly protein.

Do your best!

Hi, Mia,
I have stopped drinking protein shakes and get all my protein through my food. I eat pretty much anything I want except carbs. I am 4 1/2 months out and eat chicken, shrimp, steak, chili, fish, pork, soft jerky....... Like I said pretty much anything I want. I try to make sure to chew everything VERY well. I have 3-4 oz of protein at meals with a few veggies and at night I have a bowl of Kroger Lite greek yogurt with nuts and ground flax seed in it. Yummy and ups the protein. The only carb I eat is oat groats in the morning. It is 100% whole grain and very good for you. Helps constipation too. I am also losing hair. I have gotten in my protein from day 1, so I don't think that is it. Thankfully, I have thick hair and no one has noticed.
I hope you get to where you can eat more soon!!
