Chicken. I like tuna too, but couldn't eat it everyday like I could chicken.1

Chicken and Greek yogurt. I have one or the other pretty much every day.4

Chicken mostly. Also protein powder.3

Beef, lamb, chicken and eggs.
ETA and turkey.1 -
Chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, egg whites, sirloin, salmon, whey powder, tofu, um... I’m hungry4
-
Ground turkey, lamb, peameal, pork loin, shrimp, and Greek yogurt. That’s about it I think1
-
I eat chicken and whey on the daily.4
-
Cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, tuna, eggs, salmon, chicken thighs, pork loin. Pork loin is one that I rarely see fitness buffs mention, but it’s very lean and low calorie and easy to prep a whole one for a week.4

- Special K Protein is surprisingly good (both taste and protein content) if I'm wanting cereal1 -
Wondering how the daily chicken eaters cook their chicken? I'd like to eat chicken daily but can't imagine cooking it often enough to do that. Maybe you're eating (pre-cooked) chicken lunch meat or something like that?1
-
Seafood and dairy/eggs0
-
seitan, yogurt and egg whites4

We get bags of Frozen chicken breasts from Meijer, defrost enough for required portions the night before, and 9/10 will bake it in our toaster oven. 28-30 minutes at 425F works pretty well. We change of the seasoning day-to-day and will do stir fry veggies/rice, just a vegetable as a side, or chop up and put in a salad. I wouldn't necessarily say we're daily chicken people, we'll mix it up with pork, beef tacos, steak, breakfast-for-dinner, or grill-fare this time of year. Were I single, I'd batch cook dinners for the week each weekend; might be something to try?3 -

I prep several chicken breasts on the smoker on Sunday. Then use them throughout the week.1 -

I buy chicken breast in bulk, bake it in the oven, cut it up/portion it then freeze it.1 -
Tuna here
I love tuna, but I'll just put a small warning here just in case. There was a study done recently that essentially found that a lot of college aged people are eating an obscene amount of tuna as it's nutritious, easy, and the least expensive way to access fish. I believe the study said that 7% of the people polled were having it multiple times a week, and some up to 20... Which legitimately doesn't make sense to me, that's basically tuna for every meal, but I digress. The problem with this is tuna often has very high murcury levels, and that degree of consumption is getting to be poisonous.
Basically try to limit tuna to maybe a couple times a week.
To answer the question for me, eggwhites are super versatile, cottage cheese can be used to make a ton of stuff creamy, poultry is great and tuna of course. I'll make and freeze seitan every so often as well. And my protein powder supplier basically makes it a no brained; it is so much cheaper, not to mention easy to access. Sometimes you just want really efficient protein so you can have more fun stuff.1 -
Chicken, beef, fage yogurt, protein drink, tuna, seafood, bone broth1
-
chicken, beef, whey and to my work colleagues horror a tub of cottage cheese a day.0
-
Cottage cheese, salmon, tofu. And sure, chicken.0
-

That’s how I feel about my protein powder. I mean, 24g for 90 calories? Leaves a lot of room in my diet for some fun stuff.0 -

where are you getting yours from??? Mine is 24 for 127 and I thought that was great. Though I imagine mine is quite inexpensive comparatively.0 -
eggs, beans, chickpeas, lentils, dairy products & nut butters are the main ones.
beef and chicken - consume way less often but I do eat those on occasion.2
