Help regarding daily calories - protein!

What are some foods that I can eat that are healthy yet low in protein? I've already reached my protein target today but I still have something like 1000 calories left to eat! What do you recommend?

I was thinking of having a hard-boiled egg and that will use up the rest of my protein (I only have 7 g left for today)

Any advice is helpful :)

    It's ok to go over in protein. The limit MFP gives is the absolute minimum. I generally eat twice the recommendation.

    I think the general is that it's okay to eat 1g of protein for 1lb of your weight. so I try to do this for my target weight. mfp has REALLY low protein, not sure why. it's okay to go over though, it won't hurt you at all! :)
