Not enough protein?

While not an actual vegetarian, I'm not a big meat fan. Does anybody have a few good, high-protein ideas that don't involve a huge slab of steak. (I'm trying to lose weight.:flowerforyou:

  • Whey protein for breakfast, after the gym and before you sleep?

    People who eat steak don't lose weight?

    Cottage cheese is great, unless you're watching your sodium. Also Greek yogurt, almonds, peanut butter, beans, tuna and salmon, just to a name a few. Google for some high protein recipes with ingredients you already enjoy and I'm sure lots of great ideas will come up. I get stuck on the same recipes day after day and sometimes my protein is low, so I have to do that again too. :flowerforyou:

    Hiya! I'm a vegetarian and I eat a lot of quorn products. There naturally low in fat and are supposedly high in protein, I've been eating it for over 10 years as a meat replacement so I can still make chicken casseroles etc. I've also heard a lot of people on here having protein shakes which yi haven't looked into but maybe someone could advise you on that.
