Protein intake challenges

So my midwife wants me to now up my protein to 100-120 a day. It’s a STRUGGLE for me because I’m not hungry. 😭 Whole foods fill me up so much that I’m not hungry very often. I can’t just be eating on things that don’t have protein or I’ll struggle more with getting it in. I’m not even hungry enough to even snack around throughout the day. 😅 I ate yesterday morning at 9 and I still wasn’t hungry by 1. 😭 This morning I ate an apple with peanut butter and about half a banana and I was full I had to force myself basically to eat sourdough toast with guacamole on top and was going to eat 3 boiled eggs but it’s not happening. 😅 I did take a nap after I worked this morning (I work from home) so it was a late breakfast. I’m supposed to be eating breakfast lunch and dinner too. By my urine test she was able to find out that my body is still using from my other tissue to makeup for the loss. 😭 I literally don’t know how this is possible because I’m eating so much. But if you all have any snacks that have clean ingredients and high in protein sold in store please let me know, ya girl is struggling. I’m eating so much ground beef, chicken, salmon (only can have 2 serving a week though), and eggs I’m about burnt out already. 😭 I have to keep this up till I have the baby too, I still have 3-5 weeks left. 😅😭
