High-protein meals that don't make me nauseous

Cottage cheese mixed with pineapple chunks got me through the rough weeks on 1.7, no cooking involved at all. Also a big fan of those bagged salad kits with canned tuna dumped on top, done in two minutes. Down 58 lbs on this stuff and I still barely cook.

Cottage cheese blended smooth with a splash of milk was my secret weapon around the 30 lb mark, it pours over anything like a sauce and never triggered me the way chunky dairy did. Blending it also fixed the texture thing that made me gag at first. Cheap way to sneak protein into pasta or potatoes when cooking still feels like homework.

Greek yogurt with everything bagel seasoning and cucumber slices is my zero-effort go-to, plus I keep frozen meatballs on hand and microwave a few with marinara when I need something hot. Discovery: the salad kits plus tuna idea. Also a handful of deli turkey rolled around a cheese stick got me through plenty of evenings when cooking felt impossible.

Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store was my bridge meal when I was in that same spot, shred it over bagged rice or greens and you eat for three days with zero cooking. Also scrambled eggs with a handful of spinach thrown in, five minutes and goes down easy even on queasy days.

Rotisserie chicken saved me too, but my weird staple is a can of white beans mashed with olive oil and lemon, spread on toast with that shredded chicken on top. Cheap, filling, and somehow never upset my stomach even early on. Down 46 lbs and my cooking skills are still basically zero.

Rotisserie chicken carryover here too, mine usually becomes quick tacos with salsa and a scoop of cottage cheese instead of sour cream. I'll add cottage cheese blended with ranch seasoning as a veggie dip, since cold bland stuff was all I could handle some days around the 30 lb mark. Beans are a solid call I need to try, my stomach always seems fine with those even when nothing else sounds good.

Cottage cheese in the blender was my trick too, only mine went into marinara so it turned into a high-protein pasta sauce that sat fine even at 12 weeks in when richer stuff still scared me. Frozen meatballs and jarred sauce made that a two-step dinner. Might be worth a try if you want one more zero-skill option.

Only 3 lbs in but the food noise going quiet hit me the same way, like I had to figure out eating from scratch. My zero-effort thing is Greek yogurt mixed with a packet of tuna and some pickles, basically a lazy tuna salad that goes down easy. Watching this thread for more ideas since I can barely boil water.

Eggs saved me early on, around the 15 lb point nothing rich sounded good but a scrambled egg with a handful of pre-shredded cheese and some frozen spinach went down easy every time. I also keep pre-cooked rice packets and those bagged salad kits around so dinner is basically assemble and microwave. Zero skill required, which is the only kind of cooking I know.

Rotisserie chicken from the store became my whole personality around the 30 lb mark -- shred it, throw half on bagged salad, save the rest for wraps tomorrow. Also air fryer frozen salmon patties with a squeeze of lemon sit fine on my stomach even when richer stuff doesn't.

Rotisserie chicken thread is speaking my language, down 37 lbs in Little Rock and that trick got me through the first months. My staple is cottage cheese with canned chicken and hot sauce scooped up with crackers, weirdly good and never upsets my stomach even at this dose. Also frozen shrimp thawed under hot water with cocktail sauce takes about three minutes and feels like actual dinner.

Only 7 lbs in but the quieted appetite hit me fast too, so I've been leaning on canned tuna mixed with greek yogurt instead of mayo -- cheap, no cooking, and sits fine even on queasy days. Also hard boiled eggs by the half dozen from the store, grab and go. Watching this thread for more ideas.

Cottage cheese was my gateway too around the 20 lb mark, but my weird combo is a packet of tuna mixed right into the tub with diced pickles. Zero cooking, and on days my stomach is touchy it's one of the only things that goes down easy. Air fryer chicken sausage is my next step up when I want something that feels like real dinner.
