    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.

    But it's got 8.1 grams of protein in a cup man!!! PROTIEN!!!

    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)
