dcjlkplus3 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 What are some good ways to add protein throughout the day? We usually have a meat based dinner, but I'm looking for new ways to get them protein earlier in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestavern Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Beans! We do beans w/eggs and salsa/cheese some mornings. Refried bean burritos at lunch (or bean & rice burritos) or just throw beans on a tossed salad. We love beans :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 We eat beans with flatbread for breakfast. Last week it was black eye peas cooked in tomato. This week we're back to the home made hommus. Glad you asked. Two more minutes and my chickpeas would have burned!! :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
