    ~ Whole Foods Honey Roasted Peanut Butter ~

    ( couldn't resist ! ).

    Best thing since sliced bread !
  • I'm a vegetarian but I eat fish.
    Without meat, fish is the main staple source of protein in my diet, apart from dairy products but I don't eat a lot of them, anyway.
    I think I lack protein most of the time.

    Its called 'pesco-vegetarian'

    And all great foods!!

    Eggs, chicken breast, greek yogurt, 23 grams from a Frosty Chocolate Pure Protein Shake, a few from veggies like asparagus, etc. Today I ate just under 1200 calories and got 110 grams of protein. I don't like nuts anyway!!

    I'm really surprised I haven't seen this answer yet with all the responses... Lean Turkey (slices, breast, whatever) it's pretty low fat and high in protein.

    I also love turkey pepperoni. The stuff I buy (Hormel) is about 70 calories for 17 pieces and is 9 g I think. With a light cheese stick, this makes a pretty satisfying snack!
  • I love love eggs mixed with cottage cheese!!!!!! yummers :)

    Eggs and cottage cheese when it's not chicken or beef. And I just started using protein powder--it's not so bad as you might think. ;) Easy way to bump up the protein without also getting too much fat or carbs.

    I do protein shakes & protein bars.. outside of the protein I have with every meal (usually beef or chicken)

    However I have to find a way to cut more fat from my diet. I'm trying to do 25/35/40 fat/carb/protein but Im getting to much fat in my diet
