How do you get most of your protein

Chicken breast, eggs, egg whites, tofu, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fish

If you want you can add me as a friend and creep my diary. I try to hit 100-145 grams a day. Eggs and Ham, protein shakes, Lean meat, yogurt, I double the meat on my sandwiches at Subway... etc. I rarely get the common carbs you think of, maybe one slice of bread or one potato a day. I'm not perfect at it yet, but I try
ETA: I am a IIFYM person, no food is off limits for me and I eat what I like. You will see cheese spread and hershey's kisses, pop tarts and hot dogs. I have 2 kids, it is what it is.

chicken, eggs, fish, lean beef and i use optimum nutrition whey to supplement on days where I didn't come close to hitting my macro... one scoop has 24g of protein packed into only 120 cals and 3g of carbs

On days I actually remember to log, it involves meat and protein bars after a workout. I love Greek yogurt for a snack or roasted edamame on a salad, but nothing hits it quite like a lean steak.

Chicken, turkey, pastrami, beef, pork, ostrich, horse, tuna, pilchards, mackerel, sardines, halibut, monkfish, basa, cod, cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, whey protein supplements.

Chicken, Protein Powder, Cottage Cheese, and Greek Yogurt are my main sources!

Chicken, tuna and cottage cheese

Ditto on all of the above. Baked tofu = an excellent snack. I would also suggest reduced-sodium, nitrate-free beef jerky or meat snacks for snacking.

I also add protein powder to my shakes each morning. It's super-filling. I like Hemp Protein Powder (great source of nutrients, protein, AND fiber with no added ingredients. 4 Tbs = 120 calories, 16 grams protein, 6 g carbs- 5 of which are fiber, 4 g fat). If I need a little extra protein boost in my meal plan for the day, I add Whey Protein Isolate mixed into flax or almond milk (Whey protein isolate, 1 scoop= 110 calories, 1g carb, 25g protein, 1 g fat)

Mung bean fettucine, black bean pasta (both made by Explore Asian) - approx. 25g protein per serving,...Spirulina, Nutritional yeast as a topping (8g in 1TBSP), egg whites..and Sun Warrior Protein powder, Shrimp...for starters.

I eat protein with all of my meals (3) and sometimes with a snack (I occasionally have a snack, typically not). What I've found is that just eggs isn't enough with breakfast, so I also have some other source of protein--usually dairy, sometimes smoked salmon or leftover meat from dinner, occasionally both. My goal is 30+ grams at breakfast and occasionally I break 40. Then I have some kind of meat usually for lunch and dinner and an additional source of protein (more dairy usually, sometimes nuts also). Obviously I get miscellaneous protein from other sources too--I might have beans instead of meat (or with a smaller portion of meat) for lunch or dinner, and get protein from a variety of veggies, oatmeal or whole grains on occasion, and random other stuff. Doing this I usually hit close to my goal (120 grams, although I think that's more than I need). If I happen to have a Quest or Epic bar or yogurt for a snack that makes it easier, and I'd be less likely to have dairy with or after dinner.

Meat here includes fish, of course, because fish is meat. I eat quite a bit of fish, which is helpful, since the protein per calorie is usually pretty good. That said, I eat a lot more meat than I used to and have some mixed/uncomfortable feelings about it, although it does fit in with my taste preferences and what leads to a satiating diet for me remarkably well.

Thanks I'll use that list when I go shopping..

Tofu... hadn't thought of that one thanks.

I was gonna say chicken gizzards but didn't want to gross you out. They are delish and packed with protein, flavor and not a lot of cavities.
