I have recently upped my calorie and protein intake which really seems to be working for me. However, i have started lifting heavy and want to be sure i am getting enough protein. Not once have I been able to meet my protein goal of 113g without going way over my carbs and fat goals. I guess i need to add in more lean meat but does anyone have any ideas on foods that have a lot of protein but not high in fat or carbs?

Sure, chicken or turkey breast. Tuna.
if you're looking for something convenient, whey protein powder would probably also work.0 -

I have been following a diet plan that is on body building forums. They have a list of things you should eat for that particular day or things similar to eat. For breakfast 5 egg whites. Grilled chicken breast is high in protein, and so is fish. You have to be careful with some fish because they are high in fatty acids. I usually follow their plan and I go over my protein by like 75g and am short on carbs and fats usually by 20.
Of course they have sides too these are the protein portions.0 -
Whey protein isolate! Get a good brand and one scoop will give around 20g of protein with minimal fat and carbs. Other options are fish, chicken and bison.0
