    Eggs, Greek yogurt, Cottage cheese, Lean meat (chicken breast, Canadian bacon, pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin), seafood/fish, beans (lentils, black, edemame). If needed protein bars or shakes help too.

    I second protein shakes - I use the Vega brand. Also grains like quinoa and amaranth. Meat replacements like Tofurkey are really enjoyable. There are also Veggie grounds which are soy free - one that I use derives its protein from pea protein and cauliflower.

    Make sure you have a good amount at each meal. Great for snacks is low fat dairy like cottage cheese or greek yogurt.

    I almost always hit my protein goal set by MFP. I do usually have meat at either lunchor dinner and sometimes with both. I'll have an egg many mornings at breakfast. Oh, and I have oatmeal with milk alot for breakfast...that 6g in the oatmeal and 8g in the milk.

    The edemame is very good as well. Same protein macros.
