    I tend to overshoot my protein targets primarily due to the below:

    1. Egg whites. All protein
    2. Chicken breasts - a single one of my chicken breasts has ~26grams and I have two a day.
    3. Protein Shake - one serving has 30 grams.

    Hope this helps

    Canned tuna and cottage cheese are two quick and easy low calorie sources of protein. Some cuts of steak are also quite lean, and so is pork tenderloin - it doesn't all have to be boneless skinless chicken breasts! Oatmeal made with milk.

    I wouldn't get near enough protein if I didn't drink protein shakes. I buy a pre-made shake called Premier Protein in bulk from Costco. I think it is $25 for a 30-pack, 160 calories per shake with 30g protein, and I like the flavors enough to drink it as a dessert.
    I also find that fish and chicken contain a lot of protein and not too many calories.
    I live on these drinks. Great to take to school and work!
