I'm not vegetarian, but I'm not a full-on meat eater. So I'm looking for ways of getting protein in my diet.
I've just started back working on my weight and health in general. I take meds for HBP and cholesterol and want to get off these eventually. So I have to watch my intake of sodium and the amount of cholesterol/sat fat etc. in my foods.
- I love BOCA burgers and BOCA chick'n patties. But they have a lot of sodium.
- I did research on 'fake' sausage (I love sausage!) and based on what I read, I tried Gimme Lean sausage roll....ICK!! All I could taste was sage... ugh, just like thanksgiving.
- I love beans and like them in chili, rinsed and straight out of a can, and in soup. But I'm not a huge soup person.
- Peanut butter is good, but high in fat.
- Dairy - good way to sneak protein in, but again, cholesterol and sodium.
Help! What else is there? I don't want to spend a lot of time cooking.
Sorry, I will still eat some meats, but will cut back due to the cholesterol. I hope I don't upset anyone for posting here. I do love my fruits and veggies!
