    Maybe a baked tofu would be soft enough? I like it with a tomato based sauce, something like this: http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/1034483/baked-tofu-with-smoky-romesco-sauce-recipe

    It's a legume, but I think less commonly associated with gas issues than some others.

    Just buy other versions of tofu

    You can get Tofu with Egg at an asian grocery (has the consistency of soft tofu) or you can go and get silken tofu...either plain or flavoured (our kids eat these as you would a pudding etc...flavours are Mango, custard, banana, taro...)

    Dry curd (.4% cottage cheese) has low sodium (unlike most cottage cheese) - 1/4 cup= 55 calories - 11 g protein

    Canned sardines or salmon might be something you could handle?

    I can't find anyplace locally that sells it, which is strange because I live in America's Dairyland and we have just about every kind of cheese there is. Do you buy it? Is it more likely available at a natural foods store?

    Sorry, I just can not do fish of any kind without gagging.

    It would also be known as farmers cheese...we have it here in every grocery story...in blocks. Use it when we are making pirogies.

    Yes - The Friendship brand -(avail. in the US) has a no salt version - a bit higher in calories and not quite as high protein than the one I buy but would be nice because it's 'creamed'. 1/4 cup - 80 calories - 8 g protein

    I have found farmer's cheese, but it is just as high sodium as regular cottage cheese.

    I just checked out their website and none of the retailers that carry it are in my area. The closest would be a Whole Foods 1 hour away.

    Blended oatmeal and cottage cheese with banana. Drinkable and filling.

    Puréed foods. Smoothies. Protein drinks.
