Weight loss, but not happy.

Getting enough protein.
I've been having trouble getting enough protein, and was hoping for some suggestions of some high protein foods. Here's the twist. I'm allergic to soy, so protein bars are out, and I'm vegetarian (because of the soy allergy, so that's not up for debate). Thank you!
