I have previously blogged about my recent low lab albumin reading, about albumin itself, and how much daily protein is the norm to raise it. This blog is a little about what we are incorporating into my diet as a result.

I am eating a serving of smear case daily, usually with my evening meal along with a healthy serving of a fruit like strawberries. This provides about 21 g of protein. with supper plus. I have this along with a fortified drink with the stuff Fresenius provided which is another 16 g for a total of 37 g of protein for supper.

For breakfast, I’m having a cereal such as mini wheat (5g), a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter (4+g), and a Brazil nut (1/2g) along with 6 oz of V8 (2g).

For lunch, it varies. Today I’m having a shake consisting of vanilla powder with 31 g of protein, a little 2% milk, strawberries, and sucrose sweetener.

If you add this up, you’ll ascertain that I’m right at 72-80 or so as the recommended amount to raise albumin. I have labs on 9/6/2024 so we’ll see.
