No fat / High protein ? ? ?

I'm really new to this, HELP ! ! ! :)

Everyone loves tuna! Skim milk. Turkey lunch meat, the kind that says 97% fat free (or something like that) on the front. Non-fat yogurt. Some Whole wheat breads.

When you get the chance (and the money) grab yourself some. Even if it's a few weeks from now, it's a whole lot easier than having to eat cottage cheese, egg whites and tuna day after day after day :) I've picked up some CarbSolutions Vanilla flavor powder and some Ultra SlimFast with Soy Protein in the chocolate flavor and mix the two (one scoop of each in 8 oz of very cold water). It helps give you a protein boost without throwing your carbs out of balance. ;o) And they are fairly inexpensive. pg

LOL If you get CarbSolutions Vanilla powder and Ultra SlimFast with Soy Protein Chocolate powder, and mix 1 scoop of each with 8 oz of water you get: 145 Calories 17.5 g Protein 13.5 g Carbs 2.5 g Fiber 6 g Sugars 2.5 g Fat 1.25 g Sat. Fat <0.5 g Poly Fat <0.5 g Mono Fat 2.5 g Cholest. I don't know if you have those items available locally... I hope so. The CarbSolutions is about $10 a can. The SlimFast is about $7 a can. You should get about 21 or so shakes out of the two cans. While it's probably not your best choice, it's certainly better than little or no protein in a pinch. Hope this helps ya! pg
