    I just googled a chart of foods with proteins. Some lists have comparison of proteins and carbs. See what foods you like. Hope this helps.

    eggs, chicken, shrimp, tilapia, tuna, bars with low carbs - quest, protein powders if you cant manage to get the actual food in.

    meat, eggs, cheese, fish, nuts etc?

    I second the nuts.

    5 calories and 1.25 g of protein per nut

    What kind of nut gives that kind of protein vs calories? Because I have been eating almonds as a snack since it was recommended here, but I know that the protein isn't that high for them, and the calories are higher. I would be willing to try other kinds if they are considered that much higher in protein.

    You can also make protein-rich desserts. Take ricotta cheese and whirl it smooth in the food processor with a little sugar or sugar substitute and vanilla, and use it as a topping for fruit or a substitute for pudding.

    You can also use silk tofu for this. Lower in fat + it's vegan :) You can add it to smoothies etc. to up the protein.
