Hey! I NEED more protein!

Fish is high in protein per oz. Tilapia, salmon, tuna, etc.

cottage cheese is a good bang for your buck to get some more protein, but I find the stuff nearly unbearable to eat plain. I throw in a couple tablespoons of peanut butter or some jelly to make it taste good though. Double hit on protein if you mix pb with the cottage cheese.

My favorite is probably just a few deli slices of turkey and a slice of cheese rolled up as a snack. The turkey and cheese are both relatively good sources of protein.

Since I struggle with meeting my calories per day, and my protein macro - I also throw in a few glasses of milk to boost my calories and my proteins.

More chicken or red meat during the day since you don't eat tuna/fish or eggs. As suggested already maybe cottage cheese at night since you already have Greek yoghurt in the morning or maybe look into a protein supplement if there aren't many other viable options.

Quinoa, black beans, edamame, almond butter! : )

Tuna really isn't all that cheap. $3/lb for the questionable stuff, $5.25/lb for white albacore tuna which is cleaner/tastes better.

Meanwhile boneless skinless chicken breasts are $2/lb. So..yeah...

Protein powder, more chicken, beans.

i go with peanuts or a protein bar

I am no longer tracking but I was always over on my protein by far. The biggest thing is remembering to eat the protein. When you have a meal or snack, make sure to incorporate a lean protein every time. So if you have an apple, have some nuts or a piece of string cheese at the same time, for example. Come up with little carb/protein duos that you like and it will be easy.

When I wanted a sugary snack I would eat a chocolate protein bar instead or something with more balanced ratios like a Luna or Balance bar. I know they're not great but they prevent me from eating totally empty calories and satisfy my sweet tooth.

I like frozen fruit/spinach/protein powder smoothies for breakfast or after a workout. If you want more cals, add yogurt or kefir.

Throw tofu on my salads, buy rotisserie turkey breast at the deli for a change from chicken, eat peanut butter toast in the morning, cook up chicken breasts in a crockpot and throw them in with some mex. seasoning to put on salads with salsa and light sour cream, etc.

As with anything we need to be healthy, we might not be *that* into them. I have to make myself like vegetables. But when I'm eating them, I tell myself how good they are for me and imagine them fighting off cancer, etc. So, if you don't naturally like various proteins, like whole groups, not just a certain food, you might need to do some cognitive re-framing of those foods in your mind.

Has anyone mentioned chia seeds? They have the added plus of providing soluble fiber as well as protein.
