    Chicken, salmon (for me to hit protein it is a double portion), eggs (woooohooo)

    Avacocado's are good fats - mix some of that in with sandwiches, salads etc... I don't eat nuts so can't help you there lol


    For instance today I had 3oz turkey and 3 whole eggs in my salad for a good protein intake. Tonight I will have salmon patties - it can be done, just have to find the tricks to it :)

    Buy Whole Flax Seed (grind it yourself in an old coffee grinder{better to grind yourself instead of already ground. Oils go bad faster, and WAY cheaper} sprinkle 1/4 cup of it a day on all sorts of things.......yogurt, salad, popcorn, applesauce..... It is a great source of Omega-3 {it has to be ground for the body to use it properly. Whole flax seed is great fiber, but you can not extract the Omega-3 if you don't grind it up}. I buy it bulk @ $1.99 lb

    Avocados, Salmon (good source for both), Kale, Lean Chicken, Whey Protein, Eggs, Romaine Lettuce (has a great source of plant based protein, Beans, A good Fish Oil/ D-3 supplement, Tuna, Turkey Breast Cutlets, Almonds, Walnuts, Pistachios, Cashews, Quinoa, Spinach, Arugala, and so on.....

    Chicken breast and peanut butter. Both filling and good sources of protein/fat.
