Doc told me to get on a high protein diet. I’m trying to stay away from those protein shakes. So, I’d like to hear some of your favorite foods as well as dishes you like to cook up.
The doc gave you no directions for the diet? How much protein? Total cals? Recommended foods? Exercise recs? That’s all he said?
Eggs bro, the whole thing, whites & yolks work together. It’s some of the best & complete source of protein you can get. Get “free range” if you can, the “cage free” is a nice way of saying “giant fence so tons of birds can shit on each other & die”. Of coarse organic is best but not always affordable. The less cooked, the more intact the proteins. I usually put 3-4 in a shake a couple times a day:
3-4 eggs
Peanut butter (actual peanut butter)
1 banana (sometimes 2)
Juice from 1 lemon
A big pinch of fresh cilantro
A few baby carrots
Cinnamon
Ginger
Nutmeg
(Add water do desired thin/thickness)
Then blend the crap out of it. I turn it on high & go do something else for a couple minutes.
I eat a boat load of organs. Chicken liver, chicken heart, & beef heart. Prepare however you want, I make Thai style stir fry. Don’t overcook it, too much heat sort of mutates the proteins. And the vegetables can pretty much stay raw but heated up, if that makes sense. Avoid charring your meats. It will actually do you more harm (but tastes delicious :/)
Peace bro!
I agree with Will, why did he tell you this? Do you know how much nutrition education a doctor is required to have to graduate? I will answer if for you its ZERO! You need a nutritionist, high protein diet will cause a lot of stress on your liver.
Is the Op currently training?
My favs besides meat and beans:
Ezekiel bread toast with peanut butter and apple butter .the bread is made with beans and lentils etc. Its more expensive but I like it and Im not a zen raised chicken organic type person.
Edamomi(?) Beans work good it certain dishes where other beans dont and are good by themselves.
Cottage cheese before bed for that casein.

This was a neurologist who told me this. No instructions other than eat lots of protein. I’ve had problems with rhabdomyolysis (break down of muscle tissue into the blood stream) from the military and am trying to get back the muscle I’ve lost.
Sounds like you need a nutritionist, was it a VA doc?
That sounds like it would be better with brown rice instead of tortillas and a better salsa.
I’ll look into a nutritionist. No VA at this time. I’m currently trying to get my unit to send in a Line of Duty Investigation request. So, until that gets approved everything is out of pocket.
I started the Dukan Diet the second week of January. I had ballooned from 240 north to 265 and decided enough was enough.
I’ve lost 27#'s and lost 12% body fat since Jan 14th. I get on a standstill every now and again when I have a couple beers on the weekend. I’m ~237 now with 19% body fat, doing well but a ways to go.
I strongly suggest looking into it. My wife is doing it as well went from 125 to 117ish and lost 4% body fat in the same time frame.
The whole diet is based on protein, first 5-10 days that’s all you eat is protein, non-fat dairy and oat bran.
My goal is to get down to ~210, which is fightin weight I haven’t seen in 5+ years. I’m bound and determined to make this change and make it stick.
Good luck in your diet, I like to remember what some stuck up soristitute told me, “nothing tastes as good as being skinny”
Will has done some excellent vids and articles on protein and whey. Dig up some of his stuff. I second the nutritionist. To many people think that you can just throw protein at the problem and get bulked. Eggs come with cholesterol, meats fat, dairy can be hard on digestion, etc… A nutritionist can tell you what kind and how much is right for you. I know my body can handle almost anything I stick down my throat so I tend to spread it out between meats, dairy, eggs and plants as I believe in a clean varied diet.

It’s important to be careful with eggs because they can ruin some people’s cholesterol. I’ve known a couple of weight lifters who had to cut out eggs when there cholesterol went crazy. 4+ eggs a day can be a lot for some.

Haha, yeah more can be done with it. It’s just a simple thing I use that I don’t get tired of. It only causes me to have to clean one pan and it’s a breeze to cook.
Cook a box of Kraft Mac and cheese and mix in 2lbs of 93/7
When I make hamburger helper I use 2lbs of beef for every one box of HH.
If I don’t mind cleaning more pans…
3lbs 93/7 ground beef
2 packages of potatoes O’Brien(Home Fries)
12 scrambled eggs
1 jar of hot pace salsa.
Large Tortillas
Sort of, but there’s a great big flip-side to that that’s difficult to get into. I’ve personally been involved in some of the public relations that kept those ideas up in the air, particularly the anti-fat agenda. I’d recommend anyone wanting to unlearn a lot of unhealthy disinformation go read Sally Fallon’s “Nourishing Traditions”.

I eat nothing but chicken breast, ribeye, and protein shakes lol.
First of all I’m no Doctor just a student of science. I just read for about two hours, a bunch of articles about rhabdomyolysis. It would seam unwise to me to up your protein intake at all. I would up your fluid intake to flush the myoglobin out of your kidneys, especially after strenuous exercise. If you still on active duty and you have been diagnosed with this make DAM SURE you get everything documented and get a copy for yourself this is no joke!
That’s very odd advice all around. Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition, which is not the same process as simple loss of LBM from high training tempo, low calories, etc.
Honestly, not something you should get advice on from the 'net. It sounds like you have some specific med issues not easily addressed here.
Without a great deal more intel on your situation, advice here is not a good idea. Seek out medical advice from qualified source.
It seems odd that some will down eggs and tons of meat with fats but never touch a slice of bread or piece of pasta.
I am no expert or dieter but try to stick to foods that look like I shot them, picked them, grew them in the back yard or caught them on a hook. Not really the Paleo diet, because that means no beans, corn or oatmeal.
Think less processed foods and more that are closer to how you would find them in nature. Example: fresh corn on the cob versus canned corn. going VERY easy on the salt and processed sugars.
Seems to work for me, because I am not gaining any weight and I don’t have digestive tract issues.
For some reason…I question ANY diet that has me totally avoiding anything entirely or having me load up on one thing.

He asked for high protein dishes. Not a new diet plan.
