High Protein, low fat food help

bump- struggling with my macros too. chickpeas and lentils are good protein, but high sodium.

ETA- there are a bunch of foods high in protein- eggs, tuna, chicken, etc, but it does take a lot of foresight to prepare them. i usually keep about 6 hard boiled eggs in the fridge to snack on. For breakfast i have natural yoghurt mixed with extra low fat ricotta (with a bit of fruit and honey- basically a good smoothie without the blending)- all good sources of protein.

Chicken breast is always a winner, also greek yoghurt (chobani 0% is awesome and I've heard good things about fage but we can't get that here)

eggs, fish, chicken, beans

you can check out my diary, Im currently using targets version of whey protein but don't care for it, but I have tried many and my favorite is Blue Bonnet whey isolate in vanilla.

As far as protein goes, try greek yogurts watch out for high carbs, lots of sugar get plain add stevia or just a non fat vanilla ones is great too. Quinoa has a nice amount of protein, beans, lentils, peanut butter with the Good fat, Im obsessed with Peanut and company's chocolate dreams right now. Create your own protein bars so simple and cheaper.

Chicken, fish, ground turkey, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, nuts, milk, egg whites so many foods with good protein sources.

Before i answer the protein part, let me just caution you, FAT is a friend, not a foe! Eating somewhere between 25-30 % of your daily caloric intake helps ward of hunger as it keeps you satiated longer. Aim to get good fats from avocado, nuts (peanut, almonds, walnuts) seeds(sunflower, flax, chia, pumpkin, sesame, hemp [which btw, is a good source of protein, too) , coconut beverage/milk, and fatty fish like salmon which also give hefty doses of protein. Be ry that less fat usually means more flavor in the form of sugar or artificial sweeteners... If i were going to get extra calories id prefer it come from fat than sugar. Just my opinion and preference.

Since increasing my fat i actually lost weight and feel fuller, longer which helps me from overeating.

Now, as far as high protein, low fat.... Greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese (per ounce has more protein than beef), fish (tilapia filets), tuna fish in packets (low sodium if you can find it), smart dogs (vegetarian), peas, lentils, soy products like tofu and edamame, egg whites (although, in moderation the yellow wont hurt and at about 70 calories per egg a good option)

As far as protein powder i like to change mine up on occasion. I used to drink soy protein but, as a vegetarian, i thought i was eating too much soy so i began to experiment. I like Peaceful Plant African Vanilla brown rice protein. I have also tried Nutiva Hemp protein. It isn't fantastic tasting but, to me, its palatable when i mixed it in with a packet of flavored oatmeal and a mashed banana. I only bought a few single serve packets to try it, i think they cost like $1.99 each. One serving (30 grams) has 90 calories, 15 grams of protein and 3 grams of fat.
However, i happened upon Isopure zero carb protein powder, i bought the creamy vanilla. It is a very mild vanilla, barely taste it. I like it mixed in with plain or vanilla greek yogurt and/or cottage cheese and some fresh or frozen fruit. A 3 pound container cost $70 if not on sale but i have found on sale in a local store as well as online for about $40. It lasts me about 8 weeks as i use only 1/8-1/3 of the listed serving of 62 grams. A 62 gram serving has 210 calories, 50 grams protein, only 1 gram of fat and zero carbs! Its nearly 100% whey protein isolate (better than concentrate by far). Like i said i use about 1/8 to 1/3 of the listed serving size.
Good luck with your search!

As far as protein powder, the cheaper you go, the poorer the quality. ON's Natural Whey in vanilla is delicious, and bodybuilding.com's website sells it for nearly half the price as ON's website.

Mmkay. A lot of you suggested greek yogurt. My first experience with the greek was really bad and I have shyd away from it since. What brand(s) do you recommend? (No, I dont remember the brand... It was just really gross.. Gritty and really 'Dry' compared to regular yogurt)

I really like Stonyfield Organic's plain variety. I'm picky about my organic brands, and I've researched them quite a bit. I like the texture, it's really smooth and has a very purely dairy taste. One cup of the plain with a tablespoon of real bee honey is really nice and refreshing.

People who are saying beans, do you mean like canned beans?

get them lean meats

You can use the liquid egg whites in a carton - add to smoothies for extra protein, virtually fat-free. Just check your ingredients to make sure they don't have any funky stuff added.

Add raw egg whites to a smoothie?
