I need more ideas for protein, I know I am NOT getting enough!
and BTW I am NOT a cook...one of the only things I can do is cook some chicken on the stove but I wanted more ideas than just chicken.
and I also have a very busy lifestyle working 60+ hours a week so even if I could cook not like I have enough time or when I do have time I would rather be relaxing...(or squeezing in a work out)!
Thanks!

Oh that hated word Tofu, I get the high protein at Trader Joes and dice it small add it to my egg beater with a bunch of veggies, takes like 15 minutes and you have a healthy breakfast. Add some spices of your choice, you won't even notice the tofu, texture is similar to scrambled eggs.0

eggs (a million different ways), cottage cheese, yogurt. Yum!0

Any kind of meat is okay, doesn't have to be just chicken!
Cheese
Greek yogurt
Protein powder
eggs/egg whites
cottage cheese
Homemade protein bars (easy kind!)0 -
Nuts, nut butters, eggs, yogurt, cheese, hummus, beans, fish0

Don't forget nuts and the protein shakes are great ideas as well (or bars). Cheese/yogurt/peanut butter... you can do this!!!0

Am i the only one that doesn't consider nuts/nut butters high in protein?0

Dont know if you like game meat but venison (deer) is really high0

Not sure if you are into vegetarian options but the product line "lifelight" has many high protein/lower fat veggie protein options. (for example One 'chic' pattie has 17 grams of protein, about .5 grams of fat, and around 110 calories each.)
I microwave one @ night, put it in a ziploc, with a single pack of wholly guacamole, some roasted or sweet red peppers and have it on lunch on an arnold sandwiche thin. It is very filling and yummy.
Chobani greek yogurt is also loaded with protein and since it is thicker than other yogurt, it is also much more filling and stays with you longer.
Good luck on your journey! gbers0 -
I don't know if you have this in your area, but at my local grocery store we have a special fat free chocolate milk that has a good source of protein. It also gives me my chocolate fix, without the fat! I think it is called Smart Start made by a company called Hood, but I haven't gotten it in a while.0

Nope. It's just about as qualified as me suggesting baby batter. Or bukkake facial cleansers.
Is that in the database?0 -

Absolutely. Though, there has to be more of a measurable quantity other than "per shot". I think there should be "buckets" and/or "bathtubs" also.0 -
Most fish is high protein and low fat as long as you don't fry it. You can broil tuna or swordfish just like a steak. Most other fish is better baked.
Canned tuna/salmon is easy and cheap. Even with regular mayo its pretty low fat. Sometimes I hard boil eggs and add them to the tuna with a little mayo.
I've recently become a fan of Cole's canned sardines, but they are a little pricey ($4.50)
Ground bison is usually sold 98% fat free (less fat than turkey burgers).0 -
CHICKEN! there is a pre-cooked bag of chicken from tyson that has 6 oz in the bag and if u eat the whole thing its 42 g of protein...pretty sweet!0

I love Luna Protein Bars, almonds (100 calorie packs are great for on the go), Chobani yogurt w/ fresh blueberries/strawberries, egg beaters, protein shakes.0
