@lynnj3 - I think I was told to try to have between 50-75% of my body weight in protein a day - so I started each morning with a very high protein shake. I'd use a high protein milk (Fairlife) with plain greek yogurt, I'd add a protein powder to the drink and frozen banana, or berries and would get probably close to 30-45 grams of protein in that meal alone - so the rest of the day I just tried to eat other things that were also high in protein. I did keep on hand high protein snack bars. My numbers stayed really good (except one weekend when we went away and my numbers weren't high enough for treatment); but otherwise I was able to do my treatments. I also researched vegetables and other foods that were high in protein. I did a fair amount of organic chicken, and quinoa (which I had never tried and found some pretty good recipes to do in the instant pot).
