I started P90X not to long ago and am in need of some high protein low fat foods. I know fish, eggs, cheese, but what else? What foods do you recommend?

    If you want more protein, supplement with a good protein powder.

    I like cooking up some chicken breasts, cutting them up and snacking on those throughout the week. It helps when I'm hungry and need something quick. I always feel like Iv've curbed that hunger when I eat it.

    Good luck.

    Bison pepperoni and bison jerky! Watch the cheese if you are concerned with fat content.

    Edamame (soybeans) (1 cup = 17 g protein, 189 calories) - you can find these in the frozen vegetables if your store doesn't have fresh ones.

    Jamie Eason has some good protein bar recipes - I like the chocolate and the pumpkin. Just Google "Jamie Eason Protein Bars" and you'll find the recipes on-line.

    Lentils (1 cup = 18 g protein, 230 calories) - I'll make these instead of rice or potatoes.
