Im always trying to eat my daily amount of protein, but I always go over by alot or just a little in fat. I eat nuts, which have protein, but also 15 grams or fat. I eat low fat cheese, but it still adds up. I eat tuna and turkey slices, which dont have too much fat. I also know that yogurt and milk, and chicken have alot of protein without alot of fat, but I feel like thats all I ever eat. What else could I eat that has less than 10 grams of fat and has alot of protein.

p.s. I dont eat protein shakes or protein bars.

    I have issues with protein. Im not a big meat eater and I know you can get it in protein but like everyone else there is fat and high calorie count.

    Foods that are highest in protein, per unit of weight, are animal products, for example: beef, lamb, chicken, fish. This also includes eggs, cheese, yogurt and milk. Grains and vegetables also contain protein, but the proteins in them are a little different in composition. Some excellent examples of non-animal sources of protein include beans, lentils, peas, whole grain/ sprouted grain bread and nut butters.

    Turkey - About 7 grams of protein per ounce
    Tuna - 6 oz. can, 40 grams of protein
    Salmon - 3.5 oz., 27 grams of protein
