    I found a protein called Natures Whey if you are looking for the shakes

    I am a vegan and eat tofu, tempeh, lentils and beans.

    I get the individual packs of tuna in water and keep them at work, in case I don't have time to cook something.

    Also: salmon is great!

    AND I like making burger patties out of ground turkey. I add Cavender's Greek seasoning and then cook them on a cast iron grill pan. (I add cranberries and top with a little shredded cheddar, but you said you don't do well with those.) The patties make a great dinner, but I love taking them as leftovers the next day for lunch. Cook good dinners so you have good protein-rich leftovers!

    Good luck!

    Use quinoa instead of rice...has more protein. Someone mentioned CLIF bars...love them! They are a decent protein source, but a little high in carbs for some people.
  • With regards to Protein Supplementation (i.e. Protein Shakes, etc). Here are my favorites for those with multiple food sensitivities. I am in the same boat with regards to food sensitivities. These are my go to

    * Hemp - Nutiva has a great product. Vegan/Veg and certified organic. Their chocolate is excellent esp mixed with Almond or Coconut milk. I love their Plain when using it with fresh fruit. . 15g of Protein per serving and many of its carbs are fiber.

    https://store.nutiva.com/hempshake/


    * PlantFusion - Vegan/Veg, Low Carb, 21-22g of Protein per serving (one of the highest I have found that compairs to the animal based) I typically add hemp oil or coconut oil to up my good fats relative to my macro requirements.

    http://plantfusion.net/products.html

    * Garden of Life - RAW Protein - Raw and Vegan/Veg, 17g of Protein per serving.

    http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Foundational-Nutrition/RAW-Protein.aspx

    *LifeTime - Life's Basics - Vegan/Veg

    http://www.lifetimevitamins.com/products/lifetime_plantprotein.html


    There are more out there but these are my go to favorites. I usually use one for breakfast and sometimes one after a good workout to recover and help meet my macros.

    Hope that helped.

    Have you ever tried Arbonne protein shakes? They're vegan: pea, cranbery and rice protein. I'm not a consultant but, I'm sure you could find one. I buy off of their website through a friend that is if you can't find anyone and want to try.

    Yes, I am an Arbonne customer actually :-) I was using Arbonne shakes but then I ran out and went to Natural Food Pantry and bought Progressive Harmonized Vegan Protein Powder which is a bit cheaper. Only issue is, I loved drinking Arbonne plain with just water and I don't like drinking the Progressive brand plain with just water so I may purchase another bag of Arbonne.

    Cliff and Luna bars are all vegan and provide a good source of protein.

    I love Luna Bars :-)

    I'm okay with high levels of carbs - and I definitely love quinoa! Have to start cooking it more, I tend to only make it 3 or 4 times a month.

    I'm in your shoes! I can handle some natural cheeses, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese, though, so I use those a lot for snacks. It might be worth taking lactase tablets with some dairy if it sits well with you. The best protein powder I've found is Vega Sport but I don't enjoy having a full shake everyday. Instead I use little protein shots that go down well either because they are small or because the protein is in the right combination for me. I use Six Star brand from CVS (get the ones that look like energy shots, NOT the ones that look like test tubes) or Hormel Protein Double Shots. Each has 24-26g protein and about 100 calories. They aren't the tastiest, but have been a lifesaver for me!

    Have a slow cooker? Every Sunday I make protein packed soups or stews in my slow cooker and parse them out into 3-4 servings in my fridge for lunches during the week.

    I make things like barley/lentil soup, bean and kale, southwestern chicken and white bean. They are loaded in protein, pretty low cal, and keep me full for hours. All I have to do is grab a dish out of the fridge in the morning and heat it up in the microwave at work.

    I have two slow cookers :-) I made a lentil soup on Sunday and tonight I am making chickpea cumin soup. Definitely love making soups to last all week for quick meals and lunches.

    Bean and Kale; southwest chicken and white bean sounds delicious! any links to recipes?

    Pea protein for shakes if you want those.

    Or hydrolyzed beef isolate for shakes too, but I make no guarantee as to the taste of liquefied, fat removed, dehydrated, powdered cow.

    That's very tough, I have intolerance to dairy as well but I can eat eggs and whey (I supplement with whey protein powder). Maybe use a soy protein powder (can be found without lactose, egg and whey so might be an option).

    Also leans meats as much as you can!

    I am having cooked extra extra lean ground sirloin beef + peas + mushrooms (only 1.5 cups of the 3 combined) on 1 cup of cooked white rice (without salt or butter) with 5 brussel sprouts steam cooked. 52g protein, 54g carbs, 19g fat and 628 calories.

    It's pretty easy to reheat if you have tupperware and doesn't overly dry the meat. I cook the rice in the microwave at work, add 1.5x the water as the rice and it turns out perfect. So there are always options and different ways :) My meat favorites for protein is Salmon, Sirloin Beef, light flaked tuna or tuna filet, and turkey.

    Hemp protein powder.
    Reactions vary. to some it has no taste. To others it tasted bitter.
    Mix with fruits smoothy or other flavors.
    One warning though. If you take Metamucil daily you probably won't need it anymore.

    I'm not a fan of soy protein because it does not metabolize as well as whey.

    Lots of good ideas from many others.
