Blessed are those who can live eating directly out of a tuna can, but I love to cook and I love to eat. I’ve looked around and settled for a few ingredient that will serve as base for my high protein recipes:

(1) chicken
(2) fish (almost any tipe. Tilapia, red-snapper, haddock, trout). I love fish!!!
(3) shelfish (shrimp, crabmeat) These creatures are notin’ but protein!
(4) lean meat…yummy steaks! Be sure to buy very low fat beef.
(5) diary (nonfat milk, nonfat yogurt, whey protein, eggs)

You can do a lot with these! Now add a bunch of veggies and be cautious with the olive oil. I am using more and more the oven to the point I rarely fry anything these days. Now it’s just a matter of browsing Youtube for some tasty recipes. Many of these recipes will contain ‘offensive’ ingredients like butter, bread crumbs, and similar felons. You could part with these although this will most surely ruin the recipe. Better to search for healthier substitute ingredients (olive oil in place of butter, nonfat variety) or just reduce the recommended quantities.
I won’t live without bread, so I’m cooking a half rye-flour, half white-flour bread in my bread machine.

These are some of the recipes:

Baked tilapia (4gr carb 7gr fat 28gr prot)
Baked shrimp stuffed with crabmeat (17gr carb 17gr fat 13gr prot)

Baked red-snapper with rye-bread and tomato salad (45gr carb 24gr fat 30gr prot)

tuna & veggies omelette (4gr carb 17gr fat  33gr prot)

More to come!
