    Do you stick with whole foods mostly, or are you ok with more processed proteins? Most of my high protein meals contain fairly processed stuff like protein powder or faux meats.

    My go-to high protein meals - 25g and up per serving
    Whole wheat spaghetti with faux ground round (usually Yves or TJ's) and tomato sauce
    Barbecue seitan (homemade but several pre-made brands available) sandwiches
    Beefless tips (gardein) and broccoli with brown rice
    Teriyaki chick'n (gardein) stir-fry with brown rice
    Soy crumble chili

    Moderate protein meals - 15g +
    Bean or soy burgers on whole wheat bun
    Black bean and quinoa stew
    Chickpea curry
    Beans and rice
    Lentil pasta with cauliflower alfredo sauce
    Tofu stir-fry
    Barbecue tempeh
    Scrambled tofu
    Bean chili

    I just made this whole wheat pasta with veggies it has 19 grams of protein.

    Also just discovered pea milk which has 8 g of protein per cup and no carbs.
