I have been trying to eat more protein but it seems that by eating protein I use up most of my fat/carbs too. Any suggestions for high protein/low fat/carb foods? I'm looking for snacks as well as meal ideas. As of right now, I try to eat quite a bit of tuna, tilapia and eggs. I do eat peanut butter and almonds but don't really like the higher fat content. Any suggestions?

    what is wrong with fat?
    protein shakes and regular food?
    avocados

    be careful with tuna and mercury.

    sorry I don't have an answer, really, here to *bump*
    all I can add is I know string cheese is a great one because it's not too high cal, low fat and good protein. But otherwise I'm like you and need ideas! ;)

    I have realized it is virtually impossible to stay within a goal for fat. I wouldnt worry about it honestly.

    I am facing the same issue! Wish we could separate the good fats from the bad. Working on it!

    chicken, turkey, (both without skin), tuna, 0% fat cottage cheese etc.

    Protein powders / shakes are usually protein and not much else.
