I'm trying to up my protein but am struggling. I would prefer not to use bars or protein powder.
With planning, I can get to 110g. I now have soy nuts, jerky and Greek yogurt in my snack options. on my exercise days if I want 30% protein I need over 150g.
is the only way to get that high bars and powder?

Complete proteins such as meats, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, yogurt, soy, and milk. Or you can combine the incomplete proteins as wyndwoman said like combining grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and other vegetables.
This website hits some good combinations. http://www.bodyforlife2.com/incompletprotein.htm0
