Protein bars and shakes make getting enough protein pretty easy. But the digestive results are, um, tough. And the shakes tend to be dairy based and make me gassy.

I'm not sure the net effect of benefits vs. problems is an improvement to my life.

How long have you been on it? Will the body adjust hopefully?

I purposefully increased protein just a week ago.

Remember you still need carbs for energy. Don't waste your protein on energy

My suggestion to you is to do normal meals, do high protein snacks.

Use water to mix your protein shakes instead of milk

Whey makes one gassy all on its own.

Plain Greek yogurt is great substitute in tuna. I do it all the time.
