i dislike eggs unless they are scrambled, and don't like beans (other than green beans) and detest fish & seafood. what are good protein options for someone who is picky like me?

thanks for any thoughts...

Hi CMB,

Thanks for your question. Consuming adequate protein is very important for nutrition health so I'm happy to teach you some more protein options.

1) Have you tried all types of beans?

Like soy beans, garbanzo beans, black beans, kidney beans to name my favorites? My last blog post highlighted the benefits of soy beans. They're great on top of salads, mixed in with rice,and tortillas.

2) Scrambled eggs are an excellent protein source.

Try to eat scrambled eggs 2-3 times a week (including the yolk) since you enjoy them and they're so good for your protein needs. I also wrote about eggs in an earlier blog post, so make sure you read that post too!

3) Nuts

Either roasted and unsalted nuts or nut butters (like peanut, almond, and/or cashew butter) are great protein source as well. They're excellent on salads and with an apple or a banana.

4) Yogurt

Another great source of protein ad delicious too!


Hope this helps!
