How to get enough protein w/out going over on fat?

I'm having a hard time meeting my protein goal and the closer I get, the more I wind up going over in fat. I'd love some suggestions on high protein snacks and side dishes that I may not have thought of or considered.

    Chicken breasts are high protein and low fat. Egg whites are also great (I usually do one whole with 3-4 whites). You can check out my food diary for ideas.

    ETA: I have eggs at breakfast, chicken at lunch and dinner. That's usually more than enough to hit my target without needing to add protein snacks or supplements.

    I even had pie this day and was well over: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/usmcmp?date=2013-01-16 (yes I went over fat, but could have reduced that easy).
