    You can add almond milk to your protein shakes.

    Yeah, unfortunately 1g protein per 200ml of Almond wont contribute a great deal to your daily protein intake :wink:

    If you can eat it( not too many people can) chicken livers are a great source of protein and iron. I started eating it as an iron source because I'm anemic, but I was surprised at how much protein it has.

    noooooo I dont eat any kind of entistine :(

    Well, liver is not intestine, but it's also not low-fat, so it really wouldn't suit your stated goal (more protein without pushing your fat up).

    Try protein isolates, typically more protein, less calories. It may allow you to get more protein from your shakes which might push you closer to your goals. Beyond that most of my protein comes from turkey, chicken, lean pork. Not so much beef as it's fatty and higher calories. But I get 60-90g a day from protein isolate shakes.

    More meat ... Hah.. Beef jerky, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, hard boiled eggs, regular cheese, milk... You could make chicken salad and eat that with crackers for a snack..

    Everyone is throwing the meats around but what you put with it makes a big difference too! Lentils – 26g protein per 100g, Black Beans – 21g per 100g, Pumpkin Seeds - 30g per 100g! Even spinach has 2.9g per 100g...

    Quinoa is a good source of protein and healthy carbs :) and spinach and kale have a lot of protein and other nutrients!

    quinoa is not a protein source.

    Protein with very little additional fat (that comes to mind): Fish, chicken breast, ground turkey (available in variety of lean-ness..93/7 is common), ground beef (93/7), beans/lentils (the extra calories are mainly carbs not fat and also adds fiber), non-fat/low-fat dairy (yogurt, cottage cheese,..), protein powders.

    I'm a fan of seitan (veggie meat made with gluten) - low fat, high protein. Assuming you don't have celiac disease of course.

    recommended by who? if you are using 1g per goal weight maybe - but the common recommendation I see is 1g per goal lean muscle mass (so assuming 200 is your goal weight with 17%BF - 166lbs LMM, so that should be your goal protein)
