    Turkey, venison and rabbit are good meat substitutes. Lean cuts of beef too.

    It's not uncommon for us to do up a large turkey once a month and use it in sandwiches, soups, salads, main meals, etc... Same as you would chicken.

    There are tons of vegetarian meals that are low cal and don't have chicken. Use beans as your main source of protein and it will increase the nutrition of the meal. Here is a simple bean corn mix we make that can be used as a main meal or a side.

    1 can black beans
    1 onion chopped
    1 frozen bag of corn or a drained can
    1 frozen bag of peas
    1 chopped red pepper
    1 bunch of cilantro chopped
    2-4 TBS cumin
    some lime juice

    mix it all up in a bowl and if you want to eat right away you can microwave it to unfreeze the veggies. Or just put it in fridge and let it thaw gradually. It's awesome with siracha mayo on a wheat tortilla!! Or even with fried eggs like I had this morning.

    Fish, scallops, shrimp are all high in in protein but low in calories. We try to incorporate some type of fresh seafood a few times a month. I season simply with salt, pepper and lemon juice, but there are tons of great recipe options....
    We like a good shrimp stirfry or grilled fish over quinoa or rice.
