Hey everyone! I was wondering if I can get some help with protein sources. Obviously I know meat is protein but what other sources are there??? Please tell me your faves. Thank you :) Have a great day!

    Cottage cheese, nuts, greek yogurt (yuck), protein shakes, black beans, eggs, cheese (but limit your intake), if I am thinking correctly hummus.... I can't think of any others @ the moment.

    I use a protein powder. I would never get the amount i need and be able to stay under my calories without it :)

    I use whey powder to supplement my protein rich diet.

    eggs
    cottage cheese (great one. fat free has 80 cals in a half cup.....and 15 grams of protein....kroger brand)
    nuts
    milk
    cheese


    veggies have some but they aren't always complete proteins as far as I know.
