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?

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!0 -
