To get enough protein in a day I usually have to drink at least one protein shake. I was wondering if there are any other high protein options or if I should continue my regiment.

Do what works best for you. Some days I start my day with a shake. Some says it is eggs or cottage cheese

To start the day I usually have Greek Yogurt with fruit....in the early days I would add my own frozen berries and Splenda..now I eat the lowfat with fruit on the bottom. FYI I can only eat 1/2 a 6oz container a a time. I will alternate that with an egg usually a cheese omlet or a protein shake just give me some variety. d

I still drink a protein shake every day... Mine has 50 grams of protein in it... My nut told me to do that for at least 6 months....

Just yesterday my hubby and I were talking as I am concerned about getting enough protein without the shake when the time comes... I enjoy my shake and it has become an important part of my day....

I also eat shrimp almost every day.... It is very high in protein.... I have been warned to watch my cholesterol, but I had it checked just this past week, and for the first time in at least ten years it came back NORMAL.... And I was not fasting when my doc drew the blood... I had just eaten lunch and it was a shrimp lunch... So no more cholesterol meds for me at this point in my life....
