So I have been pretty low on my protein. I know to eat peanut butter/almond butter but how do you get your protein up without making your fats go over?

I been kinda tight on money so I only really have a few meats to choose from right now. Mainly boneless skinless chicken and ground turkey.

So how do you do it? Thanks for the help/tips!

    I would suggest chicken or turkey. Those are good lean sources of protein.


    Edit: Here's a good article about different sources of protein: http://www.uscnorriscancerhospital.org/condition/document/10990

    Thank you, but I love meat way to much to cut it out. :smile:

    Nuts are a pretty terrible choice for upping protein. Eat meat. Lots of meat. Protein powders can be handy as a supplement as well, if necessary.

    Turkey
    Cottage cheese

    Pork tenderloin, seafood, eggs/egg whites, plain zero fat greek yogurt, string cheese, milk.

    And a hamburger once in a while never killed anyone :-)

    I do eat peanut better pretty often, but you don't really get a lot of bang for your buck with it as far as protein is concerned.

    Good low-fat sources of protein that I've found:

    String Cheese
    Cottage Cheese
    Canned Tuna
    Nutritional Yeast (not to be confused with Brewer's yeast, yuck)
    Plain Greek Yogurt
    Homemade Jerky (Beef, Turkey, Venison, whatever you like)
    Milk
    Whey Powder

    There are lots of options out there, my biggest thing has just been to try and keep a good variety of lean proteins around and I've done pretty good.

    Tuna, Greek Yogurt, Quark (if you can find it near you) are all low fat, high protein options. Nuts are not so high in protein really. You'd be surprised at how far protein powder goes, too. Mix a little into stuff here and there, it helps.

    LMAO !!!!

    Fish is a great source of protein ( salmon- might be a budget problem ), also things like quinoa, and even something cheap like Chia seeds are great for protein....
