I just discovered there is a good amount of protein in Egg Noodles, and very low fat. I like tossing some tuna right out of the can with egg noodles and parm. cheese. Did you know a can of regular chunk light tuna has 26 grams of protein!!!! Wow! I just had to share… I just discovered there is a good amount of protein in Egg Noodles, and very low fat.

I cooked mine in a tasty broth, strained and cooled. add olive oil, diced red onions(or yellow) feta cheese, fresh crushed pepper, and seasonings you like, really. If you want to kick it up a notch diced up some jalapenos. yes! you can use whichever you like.

Lentils are another "Excellent" source of protein! as much protein as in beef. If you buy a bag of dried lentils they don't have to soak overnight like most dried beans. On these Hot Summer Days, a Lentil Salad is Delicious! I just made a Lentil Salad with olive oil and feta cheese, it's Fantastic!! the feta cheese adds protein too.

I ate a lot when I was pregnant and my kids both love it too! Great with whole grain crackers, some fresh fruit, or carrot sticks. Cottage Cheese is another great high protein, high calcium food!
