I need a list of foods that do not need any prep and are high in protein and low in everything else. My wife is trying to kill me with pasta.

    Eggs
    Chicken
    Salmon
    Steak
    Pork
    Beans
    Soy anything
    Nuts
    Cheese

    Tell your wife to cook pasta once a week or so - rice and multigrain bread (multigrain anything) is preferred.

    I keep hard boiled eggs cooked on hand. They make great snacks.

    You should try doing the cooking.

    Do you know what regular cottage cheese tastes like? I can't really tell the difference. If you've not had cottage cheese at all, I can't think of anything that tastes like it. It's good with a little applesauce (unsweetened, of course).

    Quinoa is a GREAT substitute for pasta. It cooks up like rice: 2 C water to 1 C grain. Boil, then let simmer for 20 minutes. And then you have a plentiful supply of quinoa to use in lieu of rice or pasta. It is pure protien. Approx 220 calories (cooked) per cup. Stores great in the fridge. I make 1 batch a week and use it instead of starchy foods so I can eat with my (naturally slim) dear husband. Just sneak into the kitchen and boil your water when she's out.

    I suggest that you have a discussion with your wife about access to your kitchen when you want to cook something. There's no such thing as territory when it is a house that you both live in! You have rights!
