    I think you should try to get most of your protein from foods - skinless chicken breast, tuna, and cottage cheese are good options. You can also try a protein shake. Mixed with water, the one I use is 30g protein in one scoop at 150 calories. It tastes pretty good, too. I only use one scoop a day and get the rest of my protein from solid foods.

    Greek yogurt is a good choice, cheese, any kind of meat, any kind of fish, protein powders or protein bars, there are plenty of good choices out there.

    I try to add protein to all my meals, so yogurt,cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg with breakfast. Lunch might have hummus or lunch meat, and dinner will be chicken, fish, beans, or venison.

    I also really like those progreso light soups, quite a few have a good amount of protien, and I like fat free sliced cheese ( processed cheese) it has 4 grams of protein for 30 calories. Melts nicely.

    I rely quite a lot on fish/seafood (mainly salmon, but also shrimp) for protein, but I checked my diary and I get reasonable amounts from kale, artichoke hearts (frozen and have tons of fiber), mushrooms, raspberries (also good on the fiber), nuts, seeds, string cheese, oatmeal, fresh mozzarella.. It all kinda adds up over the day really. If I was anal about hitting my protein target, I'd probably use a protein shake maybe once a day, but I'm not keen on drinking shakes/smoothies personally.

    I was having a really hard time reaching my protein goals too, but I've started eating tuna regularly and that helps a lot-plus the cans are cheap and convenient. I also like to cook up a few chicken breasts and shred or cube them and have that to snack on for a few days.
