    Quinoa! add it to a garden salad. Or take quinoa add some black beans and tomatoes/green chiles. Or for a sweet treat add a few dark choc morsels and walnuts, microwave it and YUM!
    I've never eaten quinoa - dumb question but where is it in the grocery store? With the pasta or rice?

    Greek yogurt
    Cottage cheese
    Cheese cheese
    Roasted chickpeas
    Homemade protein bars
    Peanut butter
    High protein cereal like Kashi
    Milk
    Nuts (if you've got room for fat)
    I don't have it often but jerky would be good if you don't mind the sodium.

    ^.^ this. Fat free cottage cheese is very low in calories and very high in protein. Also try egg whites for breakfast, they are low in calories and high in protein.

    You can find it usually in the dry areas where you self measure, like near the nuts and grains.
