    I know gluten free diets are all the rage now but I've got really into vital wheat gluten flour lately. 75-80% protein by weight and it's like really chewy bread. You can add it to cookies, breads, make vegetarian meat substitutes with it, it's versatile stuff. It's also cheaper pound per pound than real meat and has a pretty decent texture too.

    Siggis yogurt. Super thick and creamy, low sugar, 14 g protein for 110 cal (blueberry).

    Also Costco now has 4 oz Noosa yogurt. Way easier to fit into the calorie budget than the full 8 oz (and I find leftover yogurt kinda icky). Soooo yummy.

    Fat free plain Greek yogurt. Pretty boring but I always thought I didn't like yogurt. Turns out I just don't like flavored or regular yogurt.

    Dannon Light and Fit Greek Mousse. The salted caramel tastes like I'm eating spoonfuls of frosting.

    Really simple. I put several different vegetables in a skillet and stir-fry them to both thaw and cook them for my dinner. I don't want to get bored so I vary the variety each time something gets depleted. I purchased a red cabbage last week and put about 80 g in the skillet with the other vegetables. While that's going on I thaw the meat in the microwave then reheat the rice and beans in the microwave. After the veg have been on the fire for 10 or so minutes I put the meat in and cook it another 6 or 10 for both sides. The cabbage keeps its color, remains somewhat firm, and on the visual aspect alone I'm glad I tried it.

    Right now I'm loving 2% cottage cheese with a banana on top and two dashes of cinnamon. Yum.

    Air popped popcorn because air is free. Lots of volume for few calories. I like to chew on my calories.

    Buckwheat/Kasha. Half a cup will yield you about 10g of protein for about 300 calories. This small serving gives you half your Magnesium for the day as well as 30% of your daily fiber. A pretty good deal for a grain, I'd say.

    Guavas are nice - tasty fruit with a l'il bit of protein. Jicama - love the prebiotics and the crunch. And plain Greek yogurt is an old standby - yumminess, probiotics, protein, and so versatile: Breakfast, in salad dressing, sour cream substitute, etc.
