    I have a question, turkey cold-cuts, are those good sources of protein? Do they have relatively low calories? Or should I stray away from cold-cuts (what you put on sandwiches) but w/o the bread?

    soy cubes ( 53 gr of protein per 100 gr),chickpeas,tofu,nuts,grains,pasta,plain oatmeal, you don't need dead flesh in your guts that will make you constipated for days

    Simply offering the protein sources would have sufficed. No one here will be telling you what you can and can't eat. Like it or not, meat offers ALL of the essential and non-essential amino acids whereas none of your plant options do, on their own.

    It IS nice to get suggestions for alternatives to meat but the sermon is not necessary (and thoroughly inaccurate - I have not been constipated since I was a child and I eat a lot of 'dead flesh').

    My post workout is a can of tuna with a splash of tobasco. It's cheap and I get the costco tuna which has 45 grams of protein with 180 calories. An inexpensive, healthy go-to meal I enjoy is a baked chicken breast with steamed broccoli. The broccoli is easy, just steam it for 5ish minutes then add salt/pepper. The chicken has more variety. I either stuff it with veggies and a little bit of cheese or put store bought seasonings on it. My favorite seasonings are Italian seasoning and Kickin' chicken. No matter how I prepare the chicken, I bake it for 30-35 minutes at 375.

    Interesting chart, I'm assuming that you are evaluating protein to cost (£).

    BTW, the grams per cal data seems to be incorrect for tuna, shrimp and chicken breast - based of USDA data - these would be 54g, 99g, and 58g respectively for 100 kcals. I didn't check the others. Just jumped out at me a shrimp, cooked is easy 1g = 1cal. raw, its a little higher per cal.

    Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs; nuts in moderation. Cold cuts tend to have a lot of sodium, so I limit those to one serving in a day.

    chia seeds...best for high protein, high fibre.....great in the energy dept. (increases metabolic rate) but caution a teaspoon a day sprinkled over salad or in a smoothie. DO NOT EAT CHIA OFF THE TEASPOON it can choke you. Put it in or on anything...they are awesome little buggers if you plant them....find that on the net....they are hefty little micro greens. good luck

    I put chia seeds in my smoothies.
