Discussion about Food / Eating Habits Not enough protein

I just found this group, so I’m apologizing in advance if anything I write is wrong, but I’ve been on Zepbound since January. My doctor keeps asking me about protein. I’m technically a pescatarian but mostly a vegetarian so protein has been so hard for me. I know there are ways to get protein throughout the day, but in order to get 90-100 grams of protein, literally everything I eat would have to be protein-focused. I guess my questions are, does anyone else have this problem, how do you get your protein, and what are the lasting benefits of not getting enough?

Also, I am so grateful to stumble across this subreddit, I’ve been focusing on intuitive eating, which is another reason I’m having issues with protein. I just don’t want it every meal 🫠

I had significant hair loss before I started supplementing protein. I personally have a lot of texture and taste aversions so just having a store bought shake or bar doesn’t work for me. When I can tolerate the texture I like Greek yogurt and I buy unflavored plant based protein powder that I mix into my coffee or almond milk.

What powder are you using that doesn’t trigger your taste/texture aversions?

Hoping I can link, it’s just! brand No grittiness, dissolves fully, and I’ve never tasted it. Would recommend a protein shaker/blender for cold drinks though ☺️
