I have the hardest time meeting my protein goal daily 
No problem getting in the carbs unfortunately. Good ideas/help in higher protein foods??

Perhaps the goal is higher than needed?
0.82 g / lb of weight, or 1g / lb of LBM.

Eat more of the meat? lol For a high protein kick I will usually have some whole fat greek yogurt with some almond butter added in. Lots of protein and very filling. You could always cook up a bunch of chicken, shred it, and when you find you have a lack of protein make some chicken salad to snack on or a salad with a bunch of chicken on it. Or make a huge pot of soup with meat and eat that as a snack.
Chili is also a good one! 0 -
I find sole (or any fish really) is AWESOME for protein. I can get 50g of protein for less than 250 calories if I have sole. I cook it with a little olive oil until it's browned around the edges and I drizzle it with good balsamic. It's an AWESOME lunch that has tons of protein. I also supplement with Quest bars or shakes some days. Lamb is another fave of mine. I add egg whites to scrambled eggs for extra protein but not too many calories.0

Thanks. My goal is only 120g a day. Unfortunately I don't like fish...only shell fish (crab, shrimp, lobster, etc) Going to look for some higher gram options at the store today.0

My diary is open if you'd like to check it out. I get around 150g/day. Greek yogurt is key for me.0

Egg whites, tuna, salmon, protein powder, chicken, ostrim sticks (see vitacost.com for those), quest bars, filet mignon, greek yogurt, chia, oatmeal... all have protein.. see my diary, i was 150-200g all week. I am lowering fat and increasing protein right now. Messing with my macros is the name of my game on a weekly basis lol0
