I am currently on weight loss program and need to focus on having food high on proteins. Does anyone have a list of food patterns for different days of time which are high on protein

    You mean something like the Keto plan? Hig protein/fat low carb/sugar

    First you need to define "high protein". One person's "high protein" is anothers moderate protein.

    Ketogenic diets are not inherently high protein. Just like any low carb diet is not supposed to be high protein. They are all supposed to be high fat, moderate protein. But humans being humans, many will *kitten* it up...just like we do in a game of Telephone. The only intentionally high protein dieters (overweight/obese and trying to lose their excess adiposity) out there I am personally aware of are those who take and warp low carb diets to the extreme.

    Meat with every meal will cover it!

    Keto isn't high protein. It is high fat moderate protein.

    How are you defining high protein? I do .8 to 1.5g / lb of weight and incorporate it with high carb. In fact, many of us do that over in the body building section. The only ones I know who do high protein/low carb are generally those in contest prep.

    lean meats, egg whites, shell fish, and white fishes are pretty much all protein.

    High protein dairy is good for breakfast.

    SKYR / fat free cottage cheese/ fat free fromage frei/ fat free greek style yoghurt - all are high in protein.

    Chicken ( no skin) ,
    lean steak
    Fish - particulatly white fish
    pork tenderloin are great nearly pure protein sources to base any other meal around.

    theres enough variety in there to establish a repertior of base ingredients for any number of meals.
