quick and easy high protien meals/low in cals

MityMax96

trainer is telling me I need around 125g. I looked at my history and I am averaging 60-80 daily. I think I can add an easy 20 by drinking a protein shake for breakfast instead of my bfast bar that only provides a measly 2g's. But that still wont get me where I need to be.

for reference, 133 lbs, 5'1,

Sounds about right for protein...

If you are looking for snacks.
greek yogurt
cottage cheese

1 cup plain greek yogurt with 3/4 cup Fiber One chocolate cereal. 200 calories, 21g protein

Sometimes I use Special K Protein cereal which bumps up the protein, but also the calories and it's bland so I drizzle it with honey.

^^ yum!
:

Cast iron is great for a good sear and carmelized flavor and crunch if blackened ...

my version w/ salmon or other thick cut fish:

I use IQF salmon, MUST thaw it out the night before in the fridge, just toss a pack from the freezer to fridge, so it thaws out slowly, rapid thawing causes the ice crytals to turn froz. fish to mush

heat up small cast iron pan, toss in 1/2 tb evoo, wait til it shimmers, sprinkle in blackening seasons like emeril or paul prudhomme, just check sodium first, or use mrs. dash sodium free,

sizzle on first side 3-4 mins with lid on, flip, another 3-4 min with lid on, cook a little longer if you think it needs, depends on thickness and your tolerance for undercooked/overcooked fish ;-)

top with lemon juice, or use lemon juice to deglaze crusty bits from pan and to make a sauce...

delish and satisfying

not sure protein count, but should be up there.

Turkey breast + cottage cheese
Beef - hmm, good.

Tuna spread on toast / crackers / lettuce wrap / whatever
Canned tuna in water
Greek yogurt (plain)
Sweet pickle relish / hotdog relish
Salt & pepper to taste
Chopped onions
Mix them all together and enjoy.
