I'm always short of my protein goal while my calories and carbs are pretty much dead on. I want more protein ideas.

I limit my meat intake, one meal a day, usually dinner, with a few veg dinners a week.
Most of my protein comes from beans, eggs, chickpeas, nuts and nut butters, tofu, tempeh, lentils, and low fat dairy. In terms of meat products, fish and seafood are my favorite, but I eat a fair amount of chicken as well. I'll eat pork and red meat, but pretty infrequently, as I've never been a big red meat person.
If I know I'm going to have a big calorie deficit, and therefore protein deficit for the day (like I'm going on an 8 mile run) I have whey protein that I'll add in smoothies or oatmeal to bump my protein intake a bit. I can also bake cakes and other baked goods with protein powder, for a nice treat.0 -
