A member asked:

I donate plasma twice a week. is there anyway to keep my protein level up? i do good until i have to pass the spe test every three months

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High protein diet: I commend you for donating plasma. You may need to increase protein in your diet. It can be from any source, e.g. lentils, beans, tofu, meats, and if need be protein supplements. You may wish to consult a nutritionist for a high protein healthy diet.
