Hey!

I'm trying to up my protein... ?

What do you suggest I fill up with? Just meat and nuts?

    I use shakes, and hard boiled egg whites ( no yokes) My shakes have 20 to 30 grams of protein. Also, Greek Yogurt has a lot of protein.

    Eggs, Greek yogurt, skim milk, chicken breasts, lean beef cuts, salmon, tuna steak. These are a few of my favorite things.

    Eggs
    Cheese - some people that diet don't want to eat cheese. I never stopped eating it.
    Fish - specially salmon and tuna
    Crab meat - I think they are high in fat so if you are watching this you might want to avoid it.
    Nuts - specially almonds
    Lean Beef - grass-fed if possible
    Bison
    Chicken
    Beans - soy beans are high in protein. Make sure they are organic to avoid gmo soy beans
    Lentil - It has carbs but it is a good source of fiber and anti-oxidants
    Quinnoa
    Plain greek yogurt
    I will think of more.

    2 eggs (I eat yolks too)
    1 glass of milk
    1 or 2 scoops of protein
    protein bars (I like Pure Protein or Atkins)
    Almonds a re a good snack
    Tuna ( I love Tuna burgers)
    Chicken
    Lean Ground beef

    I can usually hit 150 grams
