    Shrimp - grilled and thrown on a salad, sauteed in a dab of butter with lemon juice and pinch of parmesan cheese.

    3 oz of shrimp has 84 calories and 18g of protein - 1g of fat!!

    Believe it or not fresh spinach has a lot of protein. Brown rice and beans are a good source, inexpensive too. And there is always peanut butter.

    Spinach actually doesn't have very much protein, less than a gram per serving.

    I actually like mussels sometimes. That and a little butter with it. I dont dunk them in the butter though. I just put on enough to coat them....lol

    Good question! I am not much of a meat eater, and nuts have soooo much fat and protein bars usually have lots of sugars... I would also LOVE to hear suggestions on this!

    I know that is why I am trying to stay away from them and eat other things that will give the protein that I need. But today it was the protein bar had no choice

    From the suggestions here, it really looks like being more carniverous may be the way to go. It's frustrating for me, as I usually don't find meat appealing in general.

    I dont eat much meat either!!! Just chicken and seafood, but im learning to get more protein from alot of difference places.... i love eggs without the yolk, nuts, protein shakes and zone protein bars are Great They arent too bad on the sugars.... also love greek yogurt!!!! Beans, couscous, brown rice, and Quinoa are great sources too!!! Really if you start looking you will be surprised what you can add to your diet to get more protein!!! ;-)
