    Chicken, lean ground turkey/beef, lean pork, shrimp, cottage cheese, egg whites, greek yogurt, protein bars, and when protein.

    THIS^^^ for me except the protein bars and whey protein. I'm tiny and it's easier for me to get all my protein from just food.

    Soy milk, tofu, protein powder, protein bars, edamame.

    You could try greek yogurt, any lean cuts of meat.

    primarily fish, meat, beans, cheese, nuts

    I consider fish to be meat. It's the *OTHER* "other white meat. :laugh: :tongue:

    ETA: unless it's pink :tongue:

    I do too, but many people only associate mammal flesh with "meat" so I usually mention both just to be clear.

    I eat more food. You can check my diary to see how I got 275g yesterday with no powder.

    I'm always short of my protein goal while my calories and carbs are pretty much dead on. I want more protein ideas.

    Alpro Soya Milk/Yogurt
    Pharma Whey PHD Protein powder, usually in Yogurt mix,
    Salmon (Loaded with Proteins and Omega Oils, as well as other nutritional minerals)
    Tuna
    Steak Beef.
    Kashi GoLean Cereal
    Turkey Sausages
    Turkey Burgers (Home made, so I control what goes in them)
    Nuts (In moderation, due to fats)
    Egg Whites (NOT Yokes) FULL of protein, with v little fats.
    Quark (Low fat, high protein) cheese
    Chicken breast (Without any other part of bird and always skinned)
    Prawns/Shrimps. Fantastic amounts of protein and very low in fats.
    Lentils
    Kidney Beans
    Chickpeas
    Pilchards
    Sardines

    I tend to look for low fat too, so might be more useful than others, just looking at proteins.


    Hope these help. :)
