High Protein Three Ingredient Alfredo

This will blow away any high protein or “light” Alfredo you’ve ever had. Actually… it may blow away any Alfredo you’ve ever had in general. The crazy thing is – without any chicken or meat whatsoever – this clocks in at 36g of protein per serving. Just for the pasta + Alfredo sauce!

Check out my digital cookbook (link in bio) for more recipes like this one! I included this recipe in the “additional notes” section of my original Alfredo recipe that is included in the book!

Makes 4 servings:
510 Calories
36g Protein
78g Carbs
7g Fat

Ingredients
320g Protein penne (or pasta of choice, majority of protein comes from the sauce)
12oz evaporated fat free or 2% milk
350g 2% cottage cheese
100g Parmigiano Reggiano
Optional/to taste: salt, pepper, garlic

Add evaporated milk, cottage cheese and parmigiano to a bowl and microwave for 60 seconds. This helps the sauce get smooth when blending. Blend the sauce for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. Add to cooked pasta in a very low heat pan, let sit for ~10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for another 5-10 minutes, and enjoy!

Evening Dietary Protein Intake in the Pathogenesis of Nocturnal Polyuria

KEYWORDS: Nocturia, Prevention, Quality of Life (QoL)

Recent research has shown that nocturnal polyuria (NP) is a heterogeneous condition that may be driven by excess nocturnal free water and/or sodium clearance. Consistently, behavioral and pharmacologic interventions targeting both nocturnal free water and sodium production have garnered considerable traction in the management of nocturia owing to NP. Relatively less attention has been afforded to urea—the most abundant urinary solute—despite the fact that urinary urea excretion is known to be highly interrelated with dietary protein intake [1]. Mechanistically, the body maintains a low concentration level of urea in both plasma and extracellular fluid, which lends to a daily urea excretion approximately two times greater the total body urea pool (and thus proportionally far greater than sodium, wherein daily excretion reflects approximately one-fifteenth of the total body sodium pool) [1]. Accordingly, it stands to reason that excretion of a large quantity of urea, as would be expected in patients following significant dietary protein intake, may reflect an additional important mediator in the pathogenesis of NP. This study aims to explore the association between NP and estimated dietary protein intake.
