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.0 -
Greek yogurt, eggs, light soymilk, and protein shakes/bars.0

Great northern beans and edamame fettuccine are my high protein, high potassium, and (in the case of the edamame) high iron foods.0
