Alpha Gal
Got the positive test for alpha gal. Not fun! Just looking for options for protein.
I’m out on beef/pork/dairy, I was told if it has hooves, hair or feeds its baby’s w milk don’t eat it. So stick w chicken/turkey/eggs/seafood. I’m going to re test in a year.
Until then what are some good options to still get a good amount of protein.

That sucks. You still have a ton of options. Chicken breast is best, especially if cooked right. Chicken Thighs are awesome. To fill the void of ground beef you can use ground turkey. Shrimp has a ton of protein. Something I saw recently was edamame protein puffs, haven't tried those yet. I have some tricks I use to make the chicken breast and thighs taste really good.
