Protein

Beans, shrimp, sirloin, turkey, chicken, broccoli.

Here is a good list of protein sources. Out of curiosity why low fat? Fat is actually very healthy for you and increase satiety.

chicken, tuna, whey, lowfat greek yogurt.tilapia, haddock, cod, mahi mahi.

Lean meats, fish, seafood, beans/peas/pulses, soy products, low fat dairy, egg whites, some grains are moderately high in protein (compared to other grains). Protein powder.

Lots of great advice here, but I'd like to chime in on psulemon's reply: Not skimping on the fat gives you more to choose from, better satiety, and cheaper and tastier food.

I generally agree with this--not limiting the cuts of meat I eat has been one way I've kept my diet varied and enjoyable--but it could well be an effort to get her protein up without going over on calories. I've seen some diaries where the person seems to only eat quite low protein and high fat sources of protein, although of course I've also seen others where the person seems to think only low fat options and boneless skinless chicken breast is acceptable.

OP, you've gotten lots of great suggestions, but I'd add that one important thing to do is simply get used to looking over your diary and seeing where your protein, fat, and carbs are coming from. It's useful to get a good understanding of what foods contribute what.
