My husband is on a high protein diet for power lifting. I need some other ideas to feed him besides stake, eggs and cottage cheese all the time.

    Oven roasted chicken, lean steak, salmon raw, my top 3. Dose the trick. Also throw in a few protein shakes.

    Fish is the purest source of protein out there. tuna (as mentioned above) has great macros. Salmon and Mackerel are great for high protein and essential fats.

    Try and avoid long periods of RED meat. Or stick to Venison which is the least fatty. I love red meat but it's not the the best for the body.

    I try to get as much protein in a day that I can. I also limit my carb intake as much as possible. I find making any of my favorites, but either eliminating or subsituting vegetables or something else for the carbs works great...plus you actually taste the good stuff instead of having the "fillers" (pasta, rice, etc.) I also love wraps which I have found the low carb higher protein (9 grams per flatbread) and load it up with cheeses and different meats for something different (I usually get an average of 30+grams of protein per wrap!). But again, I am not doing the protein thing for the power lifting, I do it because that is how I lost 115 pounds. Plus I feel so much better eating this way!

    If you buy pasteurized egg whites by the carton he can really bump up his protein by making a shake using the whites as the liquid base. They're tasteless and cheap with 25g of protein per cup.

    - 2 Cups egg whites (pasteurized)
    - Half cup of rolled oats
    - 1 banana
    - Tbsp of Flax Oil
    - Cinnamon to taste

    60g of protein
    60g of carbs
    20g of fat
    7g of fiber

    It's nothing fancy but it's quick and easy
