Protein balls are tuna based with complimenting seasonings and cheese holding together the delicious entity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1 Ingredients and Essential Tools

1/2 - Stack of Unsalted Crackers
1 - Large Egg
2 -Can's of Tuna in Water
1 - Jar of Chunky Salsa
1 - Bottle of Virgin Olive
4 - Servings of Asparagus
1 - Cup of Cottage Cheese
5 - Ounces of  Mozzarella Cheese
1 - Black Pepper, Lemon Pepper, and Basil Leaf

If you like, you can add a complimenting side dish of low-fat cottage cheese.  This truly makes this a high-protein diet meal.  

Equipment

1            - Skillet/Searing Pan
1            - Mixing Bowl
1            - Baking Sheet
1            - Mixing Spoon
1            - Knife/Kitchen Scissors
1            - Mobile Grill (i.e. George Foreman Grill)
1            - Can Opener

You will need a mobile grill if you plan to grill your asparagus, but if you want to get the best nutritional value you can steam the vegetable.  By steaming the asparagus you keep all the nutrients within the vegetable versus cooking on a grill where you will lose some nutrient value (not a noticeable difference unless you are eating large quantities).

Sounds Healthy... FYI Trans Fat is the killer fat, not the fat killer, any amount over "trace" over a large period of time will stop your heart and kill you.

But I guess it truly depends on the products you use, so I definitely have to try this.

I would throw these in the fridge and snack on them over 2-3 days (should be good for that long, I suppose?) as these are incredibly high-protein.

If you're like me (180lbs, training daily) then the most protein you need in a day is just under 150g. Eating more than that can actually be harmful, and these represent almost 80% of that. Just something to think about :)
