I am so pitiful that I made a chart of how much protein things contain
I figured out that if I have
1 C of oatmeal (6 g protein)
2 T peanut butter (9 g protein)
2 T walnuts (2 g protein)
2 T ground flax seed (2 g protein)
that makes 19g of protein so I am pretty good with that.
I also figured out if I have
2 slices toast (4 g each = 8 g protein)
2 T peanut butter each (9 g each = 18 g protein)
I have 26 g protein so that is even better
And if I have
1 C quinoa with butter it's 22 g protein
I also have wierd ideas about what's tasty so I figured out my squash/garbanzo bean dip is about
8 g protein per serving
If I have two open pieces of toast with 2 servings dip I'll have 24 g protein
Not quite as high I as need but better than I was and I am trying to build slowly.
can you see I am overanalyzing this. It's hard cuz I don't like meat and I don't do dairy so I have nuts, seeds, grains and eggs left. Well, I can only eat so many eggs so. . . . .
Here's a website with protein grams if you don't have them on cans/jars/packages
