Watch Me Shrink

The first priority for the Lap Band diet or recipes is PROTEIN. Here is a short list that I keep handy listing the protein values of common foods that our family (and probably yours) has in the kitchen.

1. Chicken Breast - 3.5 oz., 30 grams of protein
2. Turkey - About 7 grams of protein per ounce
3. Tuna - 6 oz. can, 40 grams of protein
4. Salmon - 3.5 oz., 27 grams of protein
5. Eggs - 1 large, 7 grams of protein
6. Milk - 1 cup, 8 grams of protein (1%)
7. Cottage Cheese - 1/2 cup, 15 grams of protein
8. Almonds, Peanuts, Cashews - 1/4 cup, 8grams, 9 grams, 5 grams of protein
9. Peanut Butter - 2 Tablespoons, 8 grams of protein (high cal and fat)
10. Yogurt - 8-12 grams of protein per cup
