    I just received a tip from an mfp friend today to caution beans/lentils, as they are high in carbs. i'm not saying don't eat them, as they do have a lot of benefits, just keep it in mind. I just had a lovely bean soup for lunch.....

    i agree with the tuna post, and that thick greek yogurt, if you can take it:)

    Chicken breast
    Tuna/tilapia/cod/haddock/halibut
    Egg Whites
    Protein Powder (I like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, best bang for your buck IMO; 120 calories, 24 grams protein, 1 gram fat, 4 grams carbs)
    Low-fat Cottage Cheese
    Skim Milk
    Sandwich meat (just watch the salt content)

    Bump. Just so I can find this later without having to search.

    Yes beans have carbs, but if the op is requesting low fat then carbs aren't an issue.

    Calories come from carbs, fat or protein.

    If you want P with low F then the C can be higher.

    Cottage cheese, egg whites, Greek yoghurt, shrimp and white fish.
