    Cottage cheese, eggs, milk, peanut butter (if your calories allow it), protein powder, chicken, turkey, lean ground beef, fish, string cheese, greek yogurt.

    May I suggest an article ?

    Protein - it's just not all about meat

    Huh. I get most of my protein from meat in the evening.

    I use chicken, turkey, and canned tuna.
    I somehow manage to get my 230g a day on a workout day from that...
    you eat that many grams of protein??? How the HECK do you do that???? I struggle lol

    I hit about +200 every day...I eat ALOT of chicken, greek yogurt, steak, fish, protein powder, avocado, cottage cheese, etc etc...

    if you have 6 oz chicken breast, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt for lunch that will get you to about 70grams of protein in one meal....

    lean meats like grilled chicken, 99% ground turkey or tuna fish
    add protein powder to your yogurt
    try a taste less protein powder like invisawhey by twinlab to sprinkle on vegetables (extra 10 grams of protein for every 2 tbsp!)
    beans, lentils
    cottage cheese
    greek yogurt (plain, fat free)

    I've gotten a few ideas on here...add protein powder or cottage cheese to things. I stirred cottage cheese into my spaghetti sauce the other day and it was actually pretty good! Got extra calcium too.

    Ooh, I never thought of that! Great idea!
