    Tuna in water and water. There's nothing higher and leaner in protein, although I must have a bit of black pepper with mine.

    I mix with a bit more....

    I often but chicken breast in my crock pot. Slow cook for 4 hours on low with some chicken broth or terriaki sauce. I also ma use bbq sauce or salsa,... anyways at the end you can shred it. Very low Cal and high protein and I use it on my salad or with veggies. Quick and easy!

    My favourite low-cal good protein lunch is simply two poached eggs and loads of spinach, I stuff as much spinach as I can in a soup sized bowl and microwave for one minute, then meanwhile start poaching two eggs, load as much chilli as you like and a little salt and black pepper on the spinach mix and re micro for one more minute, top with cooked eggs and more chilli, I like it Hot!
    This is satisfying and tasty. (NB I don't eat meat so choices are more limited)

    Rotisserie chicken (no skin), fresh spinach leaves, a tomato chopped and 1/2 cup of Costco coconut curry sauce. Microwave in large bowl for 2 min.

    About 300 cal but very filling!

    Lentils are super high in protein, as well as any other bean. Sometimes I make a little bean salsa and put it in a little wrap with avocado, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce and tomato. It has no cholesterol and the only fat you get is from the avocado which are good fats! As long as you make it low sodium then it's super healthy and tasty!

    Try these- so good. Thai chicken cakes. 5-6 chicken breasts, a whole small-medium bunch coriander, thumb sized piece of ginger, 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped red chili, splash of lime juice, salt/pepper, teaspoon red curry paste (optional). Also add in anything else you like, lemon grass, thai basil... Anyway. Adjust recipe to suit what you need, I've done 8-9 breast at a time for meal prep. Put in food processor, portion into small flat patties. Refridgerate for half an hour, fry for a few mins each side. Eat with sweet chili or squeeze lime on top. SO GOOD.
