How do you recommend increasing protein? I really struggle with this. I'm not vegetarian but vastly prefer vegetables and fruit. I still eat meat 4-5 times weekly (I'm guessing). I get about 4-8 oz of milk daily and eat at least 1, sometimes 2 servings of cottage cheese and/or Greek yogurt daily.I eat some cheese daily; amount varies. My treat food has 4 g of protein per serving and it's low cal so I eat maybe 3/day. But I still am consistently low on protein and since I'm trying to fight off a diabetes diagnosis I really need more. I just struggle with increasing protein without sending my calories sky-rocketing.
Thanks!
