    Beans (especially black and red kidney), whey protein, low-fat yogurt, boiled/steamed fish, and sardines -- these are all low-calorie and high protein. They are my staples!

    Swap the pudding snacks for cheese or if you want something sweet, ricotta with splenda and vanilla. Check in my diary for great desserts that have protein.
