    Hi there. My go-to for breakfast is egg whites. I've recently discovered that making a bowl of oatmeal with savory ingredients helps me stay full and can help with adding protein to an everyday high carb (oatmeal) breakfast. Here's what I'm making right now: 1/2 c. old-fashioned oatmeal made with water, 1 whole large egg, plus three egg whites (any way you like them; I like the yolk soft, so I can stir it into the oats), 2 strips turkey bacon, cooked & crumbled, couple of dashes of hot sauce. Yum! Another great protein additive to breakfast foods: Kefir (plain). Delicious in smoothies too.

    I don't eat breakfast, and I like to fill up at lunch. A plain Fage Greek yogurt with honey, 2-egg omelet with cheese and vegetables, and a banana does the trick, for about 550 calories and 37 g protein.

    Chicken thighs (boneless skinless) with some sort of sauce (bbq, chiles, etc). I used to eat a lot of hard boiled eggs, but I got burned out. XD

    Cottage cheese is probably my favorite source of protein. It's filling and versatile.

    Grilled chicken or salmon. Side salad. Adjust the meat size to meet your protein goals. Be sure to measure the dressing out.

    Too many options....

    A good piece of eye fillet steak, on the rare side of medium rare.

    Protein pancakes

    Frittata for a quick dinner - great for using up vegies hanging around in the fridge at the end of the week
