I don't like Protein

[Kickin Girl]

hello, I'm very new to this place but I wonder... what does one do for protein when all you eat is carbs? I don't like meat/eggs/fish at all. I cannot seem to even begin to try them. anyone have any suggestions?

Soybeans are an excellent source of protein. There are also various protein supplements out there such as shakes, bars, etc.

Go to www.google.com and do a search for "high protein foods" - you are sure to come up with lots of hits.

try a protein powder supplement, like optimum 100% whey. also, cottage cheese; milk; nuts; legumes like lentils, beans, peas.

you don't like meat? not even steak?

I don't like any meat, just never have. I do like milk and peanuts. is peanut butter protein? what kind of supplements? like slim fast shakes or something else?

slim fast is kinda lame.. not enough protein and too much sugar for normal use in my opinion... BUT hey there's lots of options
Peanut Butter is a complete protein it's damn cool.. but high calorie so you need to limit yourself somewhat, I will often have it on celery sticks, you can get different protein powder drink mixes... soy milk kis damn good in my opinion.. kidney beans and rice, whole wheat bread, spaghetti, some pitas have a fairly high protein content (probably incomplete though, so you can mix it with some other protein source) I personally like white rice and vegetables chopped up in a high protein pita.. and a glass of soy milk.. sometimes I eat this... lots of options.. when you go grocery shopping check out nutrition lables. good luck

Whatever kind of diet you're on, you need to realize protein is vital. You need to get it from somewhere, or you will end being doomed to be one of those skinny fat people..You know the kind that weigh a buck o' 5, and are skinny, but they are all cellulite and have a bodyfat % of like 25? Yeah they're skinny whoopeee but they look like crap. That's what hapens when you take in no protein. Vegan's typically have that look. Skinny with no muscle tone. Anyway, if you cant do meat fish or eggs, then you need to go buy some protein powder.

Hey guys I would steer him from eating too much nuts, alot of fat in a small quantity. What I would suggest is eating chicken, Tuna, whatever you can stomach... also Low Carb High Protein bars are great for Sweet Fixes, as well as Protein supplmentation by Whey Powder... or even with artificially sweetened stuff like ISOpure, which tastes more fruity.

No Slim Fast! That stuff is evil...hehehe...no, seriously, there are far better protein drinks out there than slimfast. Get yourself a good whey protein and if you want to add some extra protein and/or carbs, you can add soy milk instead of regular milk.
You have to watch how much peanut butter you take in, cuz as many of us know, from experience, the fat calories add up very quickly. It does taste great in a protein shake though!

I was under the impression that it was an incomplete protein =/
