    peanut butter oatmeal : 12g protein and 20g fat

    Peanut butter and jelly sandwich : 12g protein and 10g fat

    Italian goulash: 18g protein and 9g fat (made with 16oz elbow macaroni, 1 pound of ground turkey and 11oz tomato soup)

    Meatloaf: 21g protein and 14g fat (the meatloaf is made with ground turkey instead of ground beef)

    Those are all my foods that I've made with a good amount of protein and not so much fat.

    everytime a meal calls for ground beef. I use ground turkey instead because it's a little bit cheaper and I really can't taste a huge difference after it is cooked.

    Ground turkey nutrition facts (Jennie-O Groung Turkey (Gh) - Ground Turkey (50% Less Fat))

    Check out 96/4 or 98/2 ground beef too. I have found 99/1 turkey, but it needs to be browned in a non stick pan first or cooked with olive oil.

    I find 96/4 beef to be just right for lean hamburgers. Add 2 double fiber natures harvest bread, some fat free cheese whatever veggies you like and some fat free plain yogurt for the spread.

    Hey thanks everyone! It's actually much easier to get more protein than I thought but I'm definetly having to change up my regular snacks. I'll be adding Greek Yogurt for sure and skim milk.
