Need a new source of lean protein ...

Posted on 2/15/12 at 9:27 am
Well guys, i've been doing well since surgery (lost 135 pounds since July), but it looks like i've finally started to get bored with the things i'm eating. Not that i want to eat MORE, just something different, but within my diet, as i will NOT venture out and eat fatty meats.
My protein comes from baked, broiled or grilled poultry, fish, lean pork loin, legumes, and dairy (mainly yogurt and 2% skim cheese. Of course, i also drink protein shakes as a supplement.
MY QUESTION TO YOU FELLOW FOODIES IS THIS: What other lean proteins are out there that i'm missing out on?

What about eggs? Omelets are very versatile.

tofu
quinoa is also a grain type that has protein

Otis, forgot to specifically mention eggs in the dairy that i get in, but i do eat egg whites (not the egg beater shite, but an actual egg that i cracked open and removed the yolk). Sometimes i eat a boiled egg as an in-between meal, but again ... just lookin for something new.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Bison meat is damn good

lean beef?
Posted on 2/15/12 at 9:49 am to unclebuck504
Sirloin. Just because it's red doesn't mean it's bad.

Lean beef(eye of round steaks and lean gound beef 93/7 or 95/5), grass fed beef, shrimp, crabs, crawfish, fish, bison, chicken, protein powders(good changeup to take in something besides just meat), venison, wild hog, wild duck,etc. That is usually what I eat on my diet for lean proteins.

I ate a 4 oz. petite sirloin about a month ago, but i have to be careful with the beef, per my surgeon. Not really a dietary issue as much as a digestive one.

almond butter, banana, and honey sandwich on whole grain bread
or oatmeal

Wheat germ
Vaguely resembles sawdust, but it's not bad in oats, etc.

Understood. I thought you were looking for a tasty alternative to the same old. Best of luck buddy.

He said protein...not carbohydrates. Almond butter is mostly fat...not lean. Bananas, bread and oatmeal are what...10/1 carbs to protein?

WWL TV did a segment on this Monday- see if you can view it on their site.

I looked at these before, 4 patties totals at a 1/4 pound?!? WTF is 1/16 pound patty going to do anyone? Did I misread the pack?

That IS what i'm looking for, its just that sirloin beef isn't an alternative that i can fit into the regular rotation, that's all.
Thatnks for the suggestion though, dude.
