Alternatives to protein powder

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on protein enriched foods that I could substitute protein powder for but that aren't too high in carbs. Due to medical reasons, I cannot take protein powders and need to substitute it with natural protein. I've been eating a lot of egg whites but was hoping for other ideas. Thanks
