    84g of 1600 calories. (ETA: ideal-ish weight at my height is ~105 lb).
    mainly from leaner meat, yogurt, cottage cheese. A bit more from food bars, peanut butter, some vegetables. I usually meet it. Most seafood is ridiculously high in protein per calorie, so on days where the meat of choice was shrimp/mussels/salmon, etc, I'm usually over by a fair bit.

    examples:

    Yesterday:
    (only a real-ish meal with meat at lunch, otherwise eating on the run - before gym, after gym at work computer, on the way to run, at salsa after run, late night after salsa)

    Monday:
    (Lunch soup main components were cabbage and ground turkey; dinner was actually at home for once after running group)

    I hit my protein goal almost every day by consuming kefir or yogurt, bread, ice cream, meat, fruit, and vegetables.
    I make my own bread and include chia seeds in my recipe. That's how I get protein in my bread. A large banana actually clocks in with 1 gram of protein. Weird but true.

    Oh, yes, there is also a vegan protein shake in my lunch. It's not really cheating.

    Great northern beans and edamame fettuccine are my high protein, high potassium, and (in the case of the edamame) high iron foods.
