    A healthy diet is balanced and easy to stick to. What's your protein goal, and if you've set it higher than the default % - why?

    Have you been through the spreadsheets here to see if there's anything you like? http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10247171/carbs-and-fats-are-cheap-heres-a-guide-to-getting-your-proteins-worth-fiber-also/p1

    Dannon fit and active Greek vanilla yogurt, it's awesome! Even better if you add things into it.

    I'm a big fan of eating cheese, greek yogurt, beef jerky, and (if I have the calories left) chocolate chip Quest bars for snacks when I am low on protein. The Quest bars are best when microwaved for about 10-15 seconds because then it has the consistency of a gooey chocolate chip cookie. Yummmm.

    If you're consistently low on protein for the day you should try to add more meat and/or cheese to your regular meals. If you're vegetarian or vegan I can't really help you.

    Maybe:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10500016/low-calorie-protein-cheesecake ?

    Or, the link Dianne suggested above: There's a spreadsheet listing many, many foods, in order by most protein for fewest calories. If you are vegan/vegetarian, you have to scroll down below a bunch of meaty/fishy stuff near the top, but the veg options are there. I'm vegetarian, and I found that thread pure gold.

    Plain greek yogurt mixed with protein powder and berries. My breakfast every morning. This morning it was lemon meringue pie protein powder and raspberries. Sometimes it's chocolate/strawberry or salted caramel/berry blend or vanilla/blueberry, etc, etc, etc.

    44 grams of protein to start the day!

    Prelog your meals and adjust as necessary with a logical protein source to hit more protein. But do answer this first, as we see people here with unnecessarily high protein goals:
