    Have a slow cooker? Every Sunday I make protein packed soups or stews in my slow cooker and parse them out into 3-4 servings in my fridge for lunches during the week.

    I make things like barley/lentil soup, bean and kale, southwestern chicken and white bean. They are loaded in protein, pretty low cal, and keep me full for hours. All I have to do is grab a dish out of the fridge in the morning and heat it up in the microwave at work.

    I have two slow cookers :-) I made a lentil soup on Sunday and tonight I am making chickpea cumin soup. Definitely love making soups to last all week for quick meals and lunches.

    Bean and Kale; southwest chicken and white bean sounds delicious! any links to recipes?

    Pea protein for shakes if you want those.

    Or hydrolyzed beef isolate for shakes too, but I make no guarantee as to the taste of liquefied, fat removed, dehydrated, powdered cow.

    That's very tough, I have intolerance to dairy as well but I can eat eggs and whey (I supplement with whey protein powder). Maybe use a soy protein powder (can be found without lactose, egg and whey so might be an option).

    Also leans meats as much as you can!

    I am having cooked extra extra lean ground sirloin beef + peas + mushrooms (only 1.5 cups of the 3 combined) on 1 cup of cooked white rice (without salt or butter) with 5 brussel sprouts steam cooked. 52g protein, 54g carbs, 19g fat and 628 calories.

    It's pretty easy to reheat if you have tupperware and doesn't overly dry the meat. I cook the rice in the microwave at work, add 1.5x the water as the rice and it turns out perfect. So there are always options and different ways :) My meat favorites for protein is Salmon, Sirloin Beef, light flaked tuna or tuna filet, and turkey.

    Hemp protein powder.
    Reactions vary. to some it has no taste. To others it tasted bitter.
    Mix with fruits smoothy or other flavors.
    One warning though. If you take Metamucil daily you probably won't need it anymore.

    I'm not a fan of soy protein because it does not metabolize as well as whey.

    Lots of good ideas from many others.
