    I am reading this thread as I too struggle with getting enough protein rich foods in my low carb diet. Seems most increase my fat macros too much at the same time. Short of snacking on egg whites I'm at a loss. The grilled chicken is a good suggestion (thanks!) and the protein supplement seems unavoidable although I don't believe this SHOULD be necessary. I eat meats of all types, eggs daily, greek yogurt. Any other solutions would be appreciated; making we are not thinking of something Yayog81

    Tuna packets are great protein & low calorie. Black beans, (although I don't know about the carb content) cottage or ricotta cheese, fish... I eat a lot of eggs, tuna, & salmon. Funny enough, I never ever hit my carb goals. That seems unobtainable to me. (Not doing low carb)

    Add nuts and seeds to your breakfast and/or snack on a small amount of them between your main meals. I do this and its awesome!
