    My post workout is a can of tuna with a splash of tobasco. It's cheap and I get the costco tuna which has 45 grams of protein with 180 calories. An inexpensive, healthy go-to meal I enjoy is a baked chicken breast with steamed broccoli. The broccoli is easy, just steam it for 5ish minutes then add salt/pepper. The chicken has more variety. I either stuff it with veggies and a little bit of cheese or put store bought seasonings on it. My favorite seasonings are Italian seasoning and Kickin' chicken. No matter how I prepare the chicken, I bake it for 30-35 minutes at 375.

    The following spreadsheet details good protein sources + their calorie intake:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PnUZ3NnjUxXRGoLcdMsV6fztsmon4AMSzYcnOCwlG2M/edit#gid=0

    Interesting chart, I'm assuming that you are evaluating protein to cost (£).

    BTW, the grams per cal data seems to be incorrect for tuna, shrimp and chicken breast - based of USDA data - these would be 54g, 99g, and 58g respectively for 100 kcals. I didn't check the others. Just jumped out at me a shrimp, cooked is easy 1g = 1cal. raw, its a little higher per cal.

    Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs; nuts in moderation. Cold cuts tend to have a lot of sodium, so I limit those to one serving in a day.

    chia seeds...best for high protein, high fibre.....great in the energy dept. (increases metabolic rate) but caution a teaspoon a day sprinkled over salad or in a smoothie. DO NOT EAT CHIA OFF THE TEASPOON it can choke you. Put it in or on anything...they are awesome little buggers if you plant them....find that on the net....they are hefty little micro greens. good luck

    I put chia seeds in my smoothies.

    Fish, and Lentils are great.

    Red meat great a couple times a week and chicken is very versatile and easy to flavor

    Tell that to the 4 or so dumps i take a day :) i eat around 500g of meat a day in the way of beef fish and chicken.

    Get at least 30g of fiber in and no dramas

    Greek yogurt is the best bang for your buck. Meats, cheeses has it to. But when you want a fast protein boost, no cooking with little calories you cant beat the Greek.

    Breakfast can be hard, here is one tasty suggestion I think everyone should try:

    The "perfect" breakfast:

    1 serving original oatmeal
    1/2 scoop Whey protein (vanilla)
    3/4 serving natural peanut butter
    6 ozs 1% milk.

    If you want to add a treat, just add chocolate chips.....

    The peanut butter makes it SO good, and the vanilla flavored whey is barely noticeable outside the sweetness it adds.

    One of my favorites is cottage cheese. Put it one a salad, eat it with pineapple, have it with crackers. It packs a ton of protein!

    On a good day I do ok but I always go over on the sodium and carbs! I lost 15 lbs and don't know how but now trying to maintain weight and gain muscle! So far so good and I have found that I can eat up to 4000 once a week and not go over my weight of 200 lbs. everything they have mentioned is good. I love to eat greek yogurt and mix 1/2 cup of Nature Valley Granola in it! That's twice the protein in one snack or breakfast! I use a lot of ground turkey in pasta sauce, burgers with bread crumbs and onion soup mix.

    Fage greek yogurt 0% has 17 g of protein for 3/4 of a cup. I throw in some frozen fruit, and something to sweeten it just a little, very good, quick and easy.

    OP is looking for protein, not carbs ;)

    Greek yogurt and cheesesticks are good protein snacks while on a cut. 50kcal and 7g protein for the cheesesticks and 80kcal with 12g protein for the yogurt (dannon lite & fit).
    Whey is your friend while on a cut too. The one I have is 24g protein and 130kcal.
