| With all of the low carb diets out | | | | mins on each side and you're ready to |
| today, and all of the wonderful work Dr. | | | | go. Don't I sound like a chef?! Cottage |
| Atkins has done to show us how cutting | | | | Cheese - 31g protein Serving size: 1 cup |
| carbs can be a very effective way to | | | | Surprisingly I have read a number of |
| lose weight, I'm sure that you probably | | | | articles stating that cottage cheese is |
| know about the great benefits of | | | | bad for you...one article even said that |
| protein. If not, then visit my blog | | | | it's the "fat people's food." After |
| where I constantly reveal my findings on | | | | reading that, I remember checking the |
| that. Anyway the goal of these diets is | | | | label again to see if I missed |
| to increase protein intake while | | | | something. I guess the reason people |
| drastically reducing carbohydrate | | | | think it's so bad is because of the high |
| consumption, so that your body will burn | | | | sodium content at 918mb however, one of |
| fat instead of carbohydrates for | | | | those TV dinners has about 930mg of |
| energy...very effective, although I | | | | sodium...so I would rather eat a cup of |
| really do not believe in diets which is | | | | cottage cheese than one of those any |
| another story. Anyway, I am always | | | | day. I usually use cottage cheese as |
| looking for high protein foods that are | | | | part of my last meal of the day since |
| low in fat. Also there are many | | | | its high in casein protein. This enables |
| different types of proteins that I have | | | | my body to have some protein when it |
| read about, but I put them all into two | | | | repairs it's self as I sleep. Soymilk - |
| categories which are regular protein and | | | | 8g protein Serving size: 1 cup When I am |
| casein protein. The difference is that | | | | looking to add some mass I drink a cup |
| regular proteins are absorbed right | | | | of soy with every meal. It gives me an |
| away, while casein protein are absorbed | | | | added 8g of protein per meal at a cost |
| over time. As I mentioned earlier I am | | | | of 4g of fat...which is not bad at all |
| always looking for high protein foods | | | | when I'm bulking. If I'm in a cutting |
| and these are the ones I use on a daily | | | | phase, I substitute for a cup of skim |
| basis that are easy on the pocket and | | | | milk which has 0g fat with the same 8g |
| can be picked up from any local grocery | | | | of protein but it doesn't have the |
| store: EGG WHITES - 4g protein Serving | | | | taste! Or I just grab a cup of the best |
| size: 1 egg No, eggs are not just from | | | | drink ever...WATER! So basically these |
| breakfast! I eat egg whites any time a | | | | are four of the high protein foods I use |
| day, even though my typical breakfast | | | | almost daily. I always look for foods |
| usually consists of about 6 egg whites. | | | | with a low fat to protein ratio, while |
| They have no carbs, virtually no fat, | | | | being easy on the pocket. For protein |
| and has only 16 calories! It's almost | | | | power I just discovered what's called |
| the perfect food. Tilapia fillet - 6g | | | | "Non-Denatured" whey protein...It's |
| protein Serving size: 1oz This is | | | | supposed to be protein at its most |
| another one of those perfect foods in my | | | | natural form. I've ordered a bottle from |
| opinion...most fish is and I'm sure that | | | | Sweden, I'll keep you posted. |

| with fish is usually the price tag and | | | | day to lose weight or build muscle with |
| that's why I like tilapia so much. It's | | | | no results? Or is it that you just don't |
| relatively inexpensive and it's really | | | | know where to start? Learn the secrets |
| easy to prepare. Just add some lime, | | | | to build muscle and burn fat at and get |
