@crananne Quinoa is amazing! It's a complete protein with a ton of other vitamins and minerals. You an mix it with oatmeal or make a nice cool salad with it. It cooks like rice also. Trying making some, let it cool and add some diced veggies and low fat balsamic vinaigrette. I like to add red onion, shredded carrot, jicama, cucumber and dried cranberries. It delish!
Good luck!

It's a grain, so it is mostly carbs, 64g/100g, compared with 14g protein and 6g fat. Of that 64g, 7g are fiber.

Other alternative lean protein sources include tuna, chicken, turkey, egg whites, most beans and bean derivatives like tofu or you can add protein powder to recipes. Whey protein is one of the fastest digested proteins and is a complete protein, so it has a full spectrum of amino acids.

black beans are an excellent choice.

A lot of people are hesitant about the idea, but pasteurized liquid egg whites mixed with sugar free syrup is a quick way to get a good source of lean protein. It reminds me of chocolate milk. Egg Whites International, and Muscle Egg make these products. If it sounds too disgusting to try, then don't. More for me lulz.

Mixing cottage cheese with peaches, or other fruit, is a way to get protein, althouth not as lean.
