I can help with the protein requirements. 3oz of canned tuna has 25g, 4oz of chicken breast has 36g, 1/2 cup walnuts has 9g, and a cup of oatmeal has 6g. Avocado - one cup is 9g and a cup of chickpeas is 12g. I cant remember if you are vegetarian but having chicken really can get you there as 4 oz is only the size of a deck of cards. Putting on salad with chickpeas and sunflower seeds could get you at least halfway there for lunch alone. Let me know if you are vegetarian though and I will research more for you. A cup of oatmeal has 6g and if you make it with milk it adds another 4g for half a cup of fat free. You can get 19 with that kind of breakfast and a banana has some. 5oz of greek yogurt has 11g. You have to be pretty diligent but if you do eat chicken and fish, you could do it.

I think about you often and will help you anyway I can so this treatment kicks cancer-butt.
