More Protein, Clean Protein

Does anyone know of any easy ways to incorporate more protein into your diet?
I'm clean eating so I don't want any protein powders, shakes or bars etc, just good protein high foods.
Any little snacks or meal ideas that are high protein?
And specific foods that are high protein?
Thanks, feel free to add me btw!

1: Fish (Tuna, Salmon, Halibut)
Protein in 100g 3oz Fillet (85g) Protein to Calorie Ratio
26g 22g 1g protein per 4.5 calories
Other fish high in protein per fillet(3oz or 85g): Tuna (22g), Salmon (22g), Halibut (22g), Snapper (22g), Perch(21g), Flounder and Sole (21g), Cod (20g), Tilapia (17g).
#2: Lean Chicken (Chicken Breast)

18.3g 16g 1g protein per 4.6 calories
More Chicken and Turkey: Chicken Leg (69g) provides 18g protein. Chicken Thigh (37g) provides 9g protein. 3oz serving of Turkey Breast (85grams) provides 26g protein.
