    Beans, lean meats, low fat cottage cheese, soy. I do protein shakes a lot, and protein bars are like candy bars ;)

    I use greek yogurt as a substitute for cream cheese or sour cream. It is also good with fruit & granola or mixed into oatmeal. I like cheese sticks, lean pork & chicken & luna protein bars.

    Egg, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, peanut butter, nuts, chicken, fish.

    You could add protien powder to somethings you are already eating, like oatmeal. I add to my pancake batter. * haven't had pancakes since I have been doing this though*

    You didn't specify if you were a vegetarian or anything like that, so if you dont' eat meat and that is why you need protien, disregard the meat suggestions.
