    There are probably the most options available for dinner IMO. Think of everything that can be made using Chicken or Turkey or Fish.

    This. Not to mention pork chops, lean beef. Even beans or tofu.

    Hi there! I suggest you check out marksdailyapple.com for lots of healthy, high protein recipes. I just made taco salad with chicken, black beans, lettuce, cheese and salsa. If you can spare the calories, add a few tortilla chips. Lean meats with some steamed veggies (think roast beef and broccoli) are good choices too. Skip potatoes, bread and other starchy carbs when you can. Turkey chili with lots of beans and ground turkey is also yummy. Hope that helps, and keep up the good work! :)

    What about eggs? As the commercial says, they're not just for breakfast. I know I could eat a nice cheese and mushroom omelette any time of day!

    my fav is diced chicken and brocolli stirred into extra light cream cheese to make a little sauce
    both chicken and brocolli are high in protein :o)

    Try replacing grains and pastas with Quinoa. Its got a lot of bang for the buck with protein.

    Use grains like quinoa or amaranth in place of rice. They are very high in proteins, when compared to other grains and both provide good essential amino acids. If someone is a vegetarian, these are grains that should be used all the time, because of their protien and amino acid content.
