Bear Proteins
Chicken-We all know how expensive chicken can be, especially chicken breasts. When the high quality chicken goes on sale, stock up and and freeze it because you are going to be able to make some quick, easy, Hauser Diet Bear Approved Recipes.

Cottage Cheese- Of all dairy foods, cottage cheese provides the most protein per serving! Bears should eat naturally reduced fat cottage cheese.

Lentils- Lentils and other beans are often misidentified as a high protein food. This, or any legume for that matter, is a good way for vegetarians to add protein to their diet. But you should realize that the base of legumes is carbohydrate, and on the Hauser Diet are considered complex carbohydrates. Lentils provide a lot of fiber and a lot of bulk to meals.

Protein Shakes: When using protein shakes as a snack or for a meal, make sure to choose products that are nutritionally sound.  Bears can use powders that have protein and carbs in them, but if your shake of choice contains sugar grams per serving that are in the double digits, try something new!  Again, choosing a plain protein powder and then adding your own flavors in the form of fruits, nut butters, vanilla extract and spices is a better way to go!

Protein or Meal Replacement Bars: It is hard to find bars without sugar in them, that’s for sure.  But there are better choices than others. We like Cocochia bars, Clif organic Z bars, and organic Luna bars. These bars are organic, contain good fats and protein, and also contain complex carbs instead of just simple carbs (sugar), providing fiber as well. Many other bars are just glorified candy bars, so be careful!
