Can we share tips on easy ways to keep our protein intake up while on a peptide like Reta? I’ll share mine, but I’m always looking for more ideas! My appetite is pretty weak right now. Yesterday I tallied 88g but my goal is 100g. And I don’t like meat so it’s a challenge!
✅ Add a scoop of protein powder to your yogurt (23g)
✅ Top soups and salads and anything else with Parmesan cheese (2g per tablespoon)
✅ Be sure to drink your collagen powder! (14g)
✅ Add cottage cheese to pasta sauce (12g per half cup) and look for recipes that include it. I just made a soup that combined cottage cheese with a can of whole, peeled tomatoes, bone broth, and spices. I’m going to try one I saw for “pizza bowls” that is cottage-cheese based. There are also delicious cottage cheese pancake recipes.
✅For your morning coffee, try a cold brew latte using 1/2 c milk. (4g)
✅ Add chick peas or beans to salads and recipes when possible.
✅While expensive, Catalina Crunch Cinnamon Toast cereal occasionally goes on sale so I stock up. It’s gluten-free too. (1/2 c =11g) They have other flavors too.
