I'm a Pescatarian also! Feel free to add me.
Typically I eat things like eggs, oatmeal, protein shake and greek yoghurt for breakfast. Fish, tofu or legumes as a main sure of protein at lunch and a meat substitute like Quorn or Soya meat at dinner.
I also eat greek yoghurt and almond butter to nuts every day as snacks.0 -

I skimmed, so this has probably already been covered, but beans is the easiest thing to add to your meals in my opinion to up your protein a bit. Beans, nuts, nut butters, hummus, tofu, tempeh, seitan, soy milk, soy/alternative "meat" products, etc. are all good sources of protein as well as whole grains and veggies. For me personally, I find I need around/at least 60 grams a day to not be hungry and I typically don't have a problem meeting that so long as I plan ahead. If you eat dairy, eggs, or seafood those will all help too, though dairy tends to also be hight fat for less protein (if that's an issue). I try to split up my protein and have some with each meal so I'm not hungry. I usually start my day with tofu or eggs with cheese & a carb, lunch might be bean chili, a hummus sandwich, a hearty salad, etc. and dinner the same - veggie burger, bean burrito, etc. If my meal is too heavy on carbs, I end up hungry. My diary is open and I'm always up for new friends, though I'll admit my diet hasn't been the best lately!0

You don't need much protein it depends on your goals. I have been working ton strength and gaining lean muscle and I get 80-120 grams of protein daily. It's easy to add in a protein shake to add 20+ grams of protein.0
