Hi there, I rally have been trying to increase my protein intake. The only problem is that when I do they are usually also high in fat! What is out there that will give me protein and keep me full, but not give me so much fat intake?

    tilapia. 1 pound has 84 grams of protein, 440 calories and 10 grams of fat.

    i'm not certain but i think tuna is about the same.

    Shrimp.

    But fat isn't bad for you.
    Fat is awesome for you, actually.

    Whey Protein Powder (find one with low sugar), eggs (whites or whole are both good but stick to whites if you're close on cals or fat), chicken, lean turkey, lowfat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt.

    the fatty proteins, like from salmon, is the good kind of fat that your body needs, that can help counter the bad kind of fat.

    As others have said, fat is good for you (just avoid trans fats) - but if you want to 'save' the calories, whey protein is probably your best bet.

    Some really good options for you would be canned tuna, baked chicken breast, and fat-free plain Greek yogurt.

    Thanks guys! I will definitely try some of these foods! :) And it's not that I think fat is bad, I just was eating things that had so much fat that it wasn't really worth the protein.

    Non-fat Greek yogurt; delicious and, the case of plain, versatile.

    I recently posed basically the same question in another thread; you may find a few more options here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/814166-lean-proteins

    1) Scrambled Egg Whites (Looks Horrible, Tastes Normal)
    2) Chicken Breasts
    3) Protien Shake with water NOT milk.

    Whey isolates are like 90+% protein with almost no fat. Fat-free greek yogurt. Egg whites (or egg beaters). Skim milk. Lean meats. Lots of vegetarian 'meats' are low fat and high-protein.

    But you're really missing out if you're doing a low-fat plan. Fat rocks.

    want to add something here about ENSURE HIGH PROTEIN SHAKE...be careful!!!!! I started having issues with this...it effected me by making my brain shut down and I lost conciousness!!!!! was in a serious accident!!!!! I also have had other allergies lately, also gluten issues...but I HAD NOT HAD ANY GLUTEN within at least a few days....and it happened again 3 days after the accident...30 mins after drinking this...same timeframe each time.....I NO LONGER SUGGEST YOU DRINK THIS...BEWARE

    and this protein is soy...my diet protein drink is also soy which I have used for 2 years....unless I suddenly became senstive to soy.....
