I am going to try and start toning my body and I know I need lots of protien. The problem is I am not a huge fan of meat because the taste gets to be redundant . Beans don't do too well in my system which makes eating them all the time impossible . Is there any other options of ways that I can pack on the protien ?

    Protein shakes are your friend. I use Body Fortress (cheap from Wal-mart). Tastes good as long as you add at least a half cup of milk with it.

    I don't eat meat or poultry. I try to eat a lot of protein as I strength train. Most of my protein comes from Greek yogurt, fish, egg, cheese and protein powders.

    Dairy, eggs, tofu, quinoa contain all essential amino acids and aren't meat.

    Legumes, nuts, and seeds are all very good for you however don't contain all nine essential amino acids.

    all those are good sources, but if you are doing protein bars be sure to check the ingredients. i have found many of them contain partially hydrogenated oils, which are trans fats.

    ^^^ all of this except the cheese. I find that eating dairy makes me bloat.

    I don't eat red meat or pork, and only in an emergency situation will I eat chicken (I need to hit my macros, I'm away from the house and I can't find any other option, etc.).

    Jello. You can add Gelatin to almost anything. And egg whites are low cal high protein.

    And massive amounts of sugar!! Always read labels.

    greek yogurt
    milk
    cottage cheese
    cheese
    eggs
    bacon
    whey powder
    quinoa
    legumes (but eat them with meat or another compete protein)
    many, many more

    If it's redundant then I think you should look up more recipes. There's just so many different ways to incorporate meat, fish, and poultry, and other protein into your diet with it being a slab of meat on your plate (although I like that too), or a skinless chicken breast that has been grilled to death. Trying making some big hardy stews and such...lots of different flavors melded together. Just switch it up more so it's not so redundant.

    the awesome thing about meat is you can cook it different ways where it tastes totally different.
