Protein Deficient

Hey all,

I've been doing pretty well with calorie counting (it's only been a week so I hope it stays this way), but I'm having a hard time hitting my protein mark. One day I had a can of tuna with lunch, salmon with dinner, and a protein shake as a snack. I was still 40g short on protein! I'm really trying to make sure I load up on protein because it'll keep me full longer, but I am at a loss for what else to do. Also, I really hate eggs. . .

    Do you eat meat other than fish? If so, lean pork and chicken with no skin is a great source of protein. You can also use cottage cheese and beans/lentils for protein too. I eat all meats but I still add the other protein forms in for variety.

    Greek yogurt is exceptionally high in protein.
