Welcome Back!

we're hiring :-D  Wanna move to Chicago??  (Probably not...)

Afternoon all.

How is everyones day going so far?

Woo Hoo I was able to mow the lawn today before it turned into a jungle and between rain days.  Is everyone else having a rainy and cool start to their summer?

Any good suggestions on sources of lower calorie protien?  I think I need to up my protien intake a bit.

Do you all try to get a certain amount of protein and cals in your diet and if so how did you pick that amount?

I lived in Chicago from 85-91 while attending U of C. Haven't been back since about 93. I'm sure I'd enjoy it more now than I did as a poor, stressed graduate student.

I try not to overthink it too much.  Calories, no.  Just focus on eating "real" food as much as possible.  Small meals/snacks throughout the day.  Since I don't eat meat I do look for good alternate sources of protein. 

Here is a link with a calculator to check out.

Per your prior question on low cal sources of protein, check out quinoa.  It's a whole grain that is high in protein.  A bit like couscous with more texture.  I eat it with stir-fried veggies.  It would also be great with chicken as a stir fry or side.  I'm also a big fan of brown rice and black beans, but if you're cooking for kids that might be pushing it. 

I seem to recall you were trying to back off dairy.  Try Silk soy milk.   I like the chocolate milk as an afternoon snack or post workout calories.

BTW, Friday nights are "free nights" at my house.  Pizza and wine.  Occasionally repeated on Saturday.

nice work... yeah so far this summer has been a total bust! i hope it gets nice out real soon

well, with work picnics like that I may have to consider it!
