Need to increase my protein intake

Gottastop

Hi,
I've realized I am not meeting my daily protein needs/goals.
I'm getting kind of sick of omelets & scrambled eggs.
Anyone have suggestions for higher protein foods that are NOT soy based?

thanks!

When I'm looking to add some protein, peanut butter is a good tasty choice. And there's always some boneless skinless chicken breast grilled in my fridge. And for the past couple weeks, I've been on a canned tuna run. I buy the 3 ounce cans with the easy open lids. There's a couple in my car, some on my desk at work and at least 2 in my gym bag. As it doesn't spoil for a long long time, it's simple to just leave some cans around to eat whenever I get hungry.

I try to have snacks that offer protein on hand,.......helps me with meeting my goal and keeps me feeling full
Almonds, string cheese and cottage cheese cups are my favorites

Beans, lentils and quinoa are full of protein. I do a lot of beany/lentilly stews and curries. Quinoa is an awesome grain it's got a lovely nutty flavour and the benefit of all that protein too!

Ocean Eclipse - Tilapia Fillets, - 2 small fillets is 44g of protein!!! They are very mild flavored fish (from a person that is not a big fish fan) so you can season them however you like yummy and simple!

Find a good protein shake! They are truly my saving grace!! I couldn't come near my protein goal of 120 without them!!

Yesterday I ordered a sample size portion of protein powder to make protein fluff. I really hope it tastes as good as it is hyped. From the looks of the photos it is a whipped pudding that has tons of protein and only a few calories. You can get all different flavored protein, I hope it works and I like it because I like the sound of chocolate and peanut butter flavoured fluff

This sounds yummy, I have not heard of protein fluff. Where did you find it?

I'll need to look for this brand, I've got some from Sam's Club or Aldi's & I don't think they had that much protein. We also bought some flounder (the kids didn't like the tilapia too much) & they didn't have a whole lot...actually their weren't very filling at all

Do you have any recipes or sites for some lentil stew?
& thanks for the reminder I forgot I had quinoa, need to go get some cooking!

i dont know if its anything like that... but if you take greek yogurt and add protein powder to it... it makes a whipped pudding like mix that is delicious.... theres choc and peanut butter protein powder to make that flavor.. personally I like to mix the cookies n creme with the chocolate in vanilla greek yogurt... it reminds me of oreos...but creamier.. like the oreo ice cream... plus it has something like 70g of protein.

I recently picked up some Balance Bar protein bars for a dollar each from my grocery store. They're 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein, with around 15g of protein per bar and around 200 calories. Taste like a candy bar. Delicious!
