Nix all the fruit. Even the applesauce. Eat a lot more protein.

I'm gonna add oatmeal, eggs, almonds and turkey in tomorrow.

Almonds are a goldmine. 7 grams of protein to 6 grams of carbs per serving. Winning.

Stay away from oatmeal. It is bloating.

If you like almonds look up sludge on YouTube. It is awesome.

This is my snack. I love this stuff.

Only 2 grams of fat, 100 calories and 4 grams of protein per serving. Very good way for me to get more protein.

Ummmm no. 500 calories to get 20 grams of protein. Not a good trade off.

Yeah dude, I can get 25 grams of protein in a 100-calorie shake.

whey protein shake?

I remember the day Optimum was a cheap whey.

Now you gotta be high class to buy that shit! Tastes damn good though.

You need to re-evaluate what "high protein" diets mean. On a 1200 calorie diet, we are talking about you getting about 200g of protein. That leaves VERY little room for other stuff, like oatmeal or the chocolate stuff or fruit or ALMONDS. We're talking about just MEAT and protein shakes. That's it. You can add a LITTLE bit here and there, but there's just not a lot of room for extra fat and carbs.

I remember 10 lbs bags for $50 :(

Me too. :(

Now I just buy whatever is on sale and stock up heavily if a good sale is running. Haven't had Optimum in years.
