Carbs are just not my friend. I need to find protien that is both satisfying and filling. I do eat natural peanut butter. I like low fat cottage cheese but try not to do much dairy. I like nuts but find they aren't as satisfying as I would like them to be. Please share any protien suggestions. I am going to try a protien shake or two and see how that works out. Thank you in advance.

    Non-fat Greek yogurt. Insanely delicious. Comes in a bunch of brands and flavors. I really like Chobani... 14 g protein and 140 calories. I also agree with the tuna and egg suggestion. And you could always check out protein powder...on days I can't seem to get enough protein, I will have a scoop or whey isolate protein...20 g protein and 90 calories (I use AMP 60 but there are lots of good brands out there).

    FISH, Egg whites, turkey. I go over on my protein everyday, probably not a good thing.

    Fat free Greek yogurt is my new best friend. The process of making yogurt removes most of the lactose and it's really high in protein: 18 grams of protein for a 6 oz. serving with 100 calories. And it's so versatile!

    You can use all sorts of marinades for chicken. It is good sweet, sour, spicy and fruity. Some combinations we have tried that were very good - canned peaches, soy and cinnamon, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, hot sauce. Marinading in any of these items will give your chicken very different flavors, and can be very satisfying. You can eat the chicken with roasted fruits and veggies.

    MFP has protein set too low, in most people's opinions. Going over that goal is not a bad thing. In fact, I changed the goal myself to something a bit more realistic for me.

    I have a very high protein diet and lower carbs... Here aer some things I am never without:

    1. Fage 0% greek yogurt --- I sometimes clean out the shelves at target for this stuff. Trader Joe's 0% is good too. It makes a great sour cream substitute for dips etc --- but i like it sweet! You can add a zillion different things... I use truvia or agave to sweeten, walnut, chia/flax seed, sugar-free pudding mixes for flavor, coffee creamer flavors to thin it, banana pudding mix + PB2 (powdered peanut butter), differeny protein powders, tiny bits of jello mix, pumpkin puree/cinnamin/nutmeg --- if you get the good greek yogurt, its easily 15-25g of protein in a cup and very little sugar -- and its quite filling.

    2. Rotisserie chicken or turkey pot roast - i'm lazy! The supermarket makes these and I always have one in the fridge. If I get the urge to snack, I snack on chicken..its easy and I don't have to cook and its good col.

    3. Shrimp -- I could live on shrimp -- grilled, baked, broiled, cold... make it into salad, put it in curry, toss over quinoa -- yum

    4. Veggie puree -- while this isn't really protein, its a great way to get your veggies and makes a perfect dip for meats/seafood. If you use beans, you're even getting protein!

    5. Beans, quinoa, eggs

    6. Lots of protein shakes! I am a huge coffee fan so i mix chocolate protein with decaf coffee and a scoop of click espresso protein and silk almond milk (35 cals a cup) and lots of ice in a blender bottle.
