I've been in a position lately where I've lost a significant amount (~30lbs) of weight due to illness, and was advised by two different certified nutritionists to consume up to 145g of protein a day to assist in healing and weight gain. For those that don't know, that's a LOT of eating if you try to get that amount purely through a normal diet. I've found some salvation in MET-Rx protein plus bars, Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed into 2% milk, drinking up to 2 qts of milk alone, and BeneProtein (from the makers of Metamucil and Benefiber) mixed into milk, iced tea, water, etc. Oh, and peanut butter works well, along with sardines (but not at the same time). These protein boosters have helped me eat normally, and not forego the carbs and veggies because of needing so much protein.
