I'm logging food right but consistently missing my protein goal

Cans of tuna and eggs. I really don't think anything beats these two when it comes to protein and price.

Tuna is high in mercury. Salmon has more calories but still good for protein and fat.

Even though Tuna is lower calorically than salmon... are you guys sure that 100g tuna with 20g protein is only 50cal? The protein would be 80cal by itself.

(all canned, per 100g)
tuna skipjack 103cal/22g protein
tuna yellowfin 109 ca;/24g protein
salmon sockeye 229/21g protein,
salmon pink 153/26g protein

I personally think that (Canadian) Greek yogurt is, like, a wonder-food!
Danone's Oikos 0% plain Greek Yogurt with 100cal per 175 gram and 18g protein is my favourite. Yoplait's 0% plain Greek Yogurt comes in a clear second with the same stats (just 1g less protein). Kirkland's has the same stats too. However both are less thick and less tasty than Oikos!
Olympic's Krema looks better on paper with 22g protein; but, it tastes like *kitten*, so definitely NOT recommended!

Some ideas? http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/foods-highest-in-protein.php

I agree about greek yoghurt....I add flavoured protein powder to mine which gives me 39 grams of protein for 393 calories, you could lower the calories by using low fat greek yoghurt...I personally use the full fat one. Boiled eggs...cheese...quests bars are 21 grams of protein per bar. I am from australia and we have protein ice cream here...kinda pricey but it is like 24 grams of protein for 130 calories...Im guessing if we have protein ice cream here in the us and canada (not sure where you are) they would have such a thing ... the brand we have here is called whey whip.

I add egg whites to my scrambled eggs in the morning to up the protein content, I use Whey Protein to up my protein on days that I know I'm going to work hard, Greek yogurt, black beans, lean meats, chick peas...the list goes on and on.

I like Greek yogurt, fish, cottage cheese and beans.

I find by incorporating protein in every meal, every snack it's pretty easy to hit the protein goal. Premier Protein from Costco has an impressive protein count (30g).

Eggs are obvious.
Chicken breasts are obvious.
Try black beans. There are some black bean dishes you can get in the deli or in the packaged food aisles that are very good.
Hubby uses regular baked beans as a filler when I'm not around to cook for him.

Boy ... everything is making me hungry. Not! I'm new to the site, and i have been tracking my diet as well. Protain is hard to get enough except by eating red meats. I'm can only eat so much fish and chicken. With beans nothing sound good with out sauces or butter. Have not bought the protein shakes, but thats how i got fat as a teenager. That weight gain stuff.
