Often at the end of the day I have a look at my food diary and see that I am extremely low on protein.
Whats high protein but low cal (or just not really high cal like the obvious red meat) that I can work into my days to get more protein?
Other than meat and protein powder of course!

lots of protein in a can stuff at the the store that is high in protein but low in calories. Take for example this product has 30g protein but only 130 calories. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3650194&cp=3593186.3593187.2108294
The meats that other people recommend are good too. I like the extra lean 96/4 ground beef myself. It's got quite a lot of protein and makes the most awesome tasting burger ever. +light bread, pickles, tomatoes, mustard and HFCS free ketchup, yum.0 -
I get most of my protein from 97/3 organic ground turkey, other good sources are egg whites and nonfat Greek yogurt.0

cottage cheese and greek yogurt0

Tuna (10g protein for 50 calories in a 2oz serving)
Cod, and other assorted fish.0 -
Chicken titties all the way0

Also hard boiled eggs however my favorite food for when i want to add protein is cottage cheese. Love fish anytime.0

True, but as they don't promote cannibalism on this site (I guess zombies don't need to diet) how would you know the caloriescontent?0 -
Just had some turkey jerky myself. 80 cal for 15 grams of protein. One package will give you 45 grams of protein for 240 calories. A lot of sodium though0
