How do I get more protein without a lot of calories/fat and low carbs??? Im already doing a protein shake and today I plan on doing egg whites with an egg and spinach omelet as a snack.

Try some PB2 added to your shake2

On average how many are you getting a day?0

I do a double scoop of whey isolate every morning (to the tune of 60g of protein). I eat a mid-morning snack which is either another scoop of protein or a 30g protein bar. I then make sure my lunch has at least 20g of protein, and my dinner has up to 40-50g. For me, that's the only way I can keep up the protein levels I want. Just be sure to keep your fiber intake and water intake good if you're upping your protein, trust me it'll help.1

May I ask why you are cutting out fat & carbs?0

Easy, lean meats.
Chicken, turkey, seafood...0 -
I like the individual tuna packs. They are about 100 calls and 14 grams protein. I use them on salads. Recommend the sweet and spicy flavor.1

I usually get over 150g of protein everyday. My diary is open if you want to take a look.1

The starkist Thai tuna is awesome, too!2 -
Lean meats. The only days I hit my protein goals are when I have a half pound of chicken, pork loin, or filet for dinner. Eating beans instead of starches helps too. Greek yogurt is also good protein dense snack or breakfast.2

Protein bars! They're a bit more on the calorie side (100-200 calories) but they do give quite a bit of protein in return (8-10 g). That's quite a lot of protein for me!0

Chicken tenderloin, shrimp, tuna, and swai are my go-tos on my current cut. Casein shakes if I find myself short on time. Just make sure to check the labels on those, because some are loaded with *kitten*.1

Yes it is
Are you on your phone @edena001 ? Sometimes peoples diaries are only accessible from a computer for some odd reason.0 -
Shrimp, another protein shake, white fish, turkey jerkey, beef jerkey, protein bars0
-
Tuna (or any other meat or fish).
Protein powder (which I can only tolerate mixed with milk or blended with milk and frozen berries).
Protein bars.
Milk and eggs aren't bad sources either.
I'm assuming you're just getting close to your calorie goal and that's why you don't want to spend more calories on fat or carbs?0
