have you tried protein shakes? gold standard whey protein is awesome and its 130 calories (24g protein) in each scoop. I blend it with almond milk and fruit (sometimes). you can get it on amazon.com.

I saw a chart recently about the best caloric bang for your buck in protein (lowest calories per ounce I think it was) - I belive the top two choices were boneless skinless chicken breast and salmon. I am also a big fan of egg whites for breakfast. Even if you have to "spend" a little more in the way of calories for a larger portion of protein - I find it keeps me fuller longer and I am less drawn to sweets.

I make egg whites in the microwave for breakfast - 6 tablespoons = 50 calories and 10 grams of protein.
4 ounces of boneless skinless chicken breast is only about 100 calories and about 17 grams of protein.
Greek yogurt is also a good deal for about 150 calories you can get about 15 grams (and calcium).

Fish, meat, eggs, and whey protein powder have loads of protein per calorie. If you're not lactose intolerant, milk and cheese aren't bad either.
