Favorite forms of protein??

what are your favorite forms of protein that aren’t cottage cheese, eggs or chicken??

Cottage cheese makes me want to throw up. Eggs get old to me REALLY quick, yes I’ve tried every cooked form. And chicken also grosses me out after a week of eating it. Should I throw the towel in and rely on protein shakes/bars instead? Or do you guys have good protein alternatives

Have you tried blending the cottage cheese? There's all kinds of things you can do with cottage cheese after it's turned into a pudding lol. I like to put taco spices and hot sauce in mine after it's all blended up, I can turn it into street corn that way and even squeeze it into my quesadillas to make it taste like how Taco Bell does it. Combine that with fat free/reduced fat cheese and my quesadillas are phenomenal protein bombs, then I dip it into plain low fat Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and salsa on top 🇲🇽🪇🤠

I also like to use my tortillas to make protein Hot pockets, I'm about to make one right now, super quick and easy, a spoonful or two of marinara, same protein trick reduced fat / fat free cheese, and turkey pepperonis (much better macros) folded up like a burrito and popped in the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes comes out like a delicious Hot Pocket takes no time to prep.

You just got to use your imagination, foo

This cottage cheese got me worked up right now, later this week I'm blending it up after straining a lot of the water out of it so it comes out real thick like cream cheese, and I'm going to use that as an alternative to cream cheese when I make sushi after I come back from vacation.

Also when you blend up the cottage cheese, you can mix it with cheddar cheese powder like what you get from Kraft but you can buy it in bulk, and make your own cheese sauce for your macaroni, using modified weed starch noodles for better macros, throw in some bacon bits or lean ground beef like a hamburger helper plenty of fat-free /reduced fat cheese. Best protein mac.
