I want some ideas of foods that are low in fat and sugar, but high in protein to add to my diet with moderate calories. I've been way over my sugar intake lately... My diary has not been the best for the last few days so please don't judge me by my diary. Thanks!

I know a few high protein, low fat-low sugar things already:

Eggs, PLAIN nonfat greek yogurt, Turkey, Chicken, skim milk... your turn :)

READY, SET, SHOOT!

    MFP has my limit set at 39, I feel like that is really low and it's hard to stay below or at it especially since one piece of fruit puts at almost half my intake.

    Lean meats and fish, protein powder/shakes, and egg whites. All of those are almost entirely protein.
