    Bumping because I almost posted a question about this. Glad I found this first! I haven't been coming anywhere near my protein macro despite eating lots of meat, greek yogurt, etc...

    Thank you Sara! Great list, and thanks for including so many veggie and vegan sources. The g per 100cals figures are really eye opening as well. Much appreciated!

    Man I wish I liked tuna, that seems to be the best option for protein with low calories

    I looked but didn't see it so I hope this isn't a repeat but I found that low fat 1% milk small curd cottage cheese is a great source of protein.
    Serving size is 1/2 cup
    80 calories
    12g protein

    I know this post is old buy this is just what I was looking for.
    My food allergies (eggs, dairy, wheat, soy, some nuts, and some seafood) coupled with the protein that my body doesn't digest (beef, lentils, and chicken) make it really hard to find protein choices.
    Glad this post was here! :)

    Like how complete is the protein, or what's missing?

    Graph and link if you need balancing amino acids.

    Sad day in history when you realize that cheese and peanut butter shouldn’t be considered a source of protein. However- finding a whey isolate that I enjoy was a happy day.

    Cheese and peanut butter are excellent sources of delicious, though. That's gotta count for something.

    Peanut butter is really quite a bad, albeit tasty, source of protein - it is really a source of fat.

    Ah thats a bummer. I thought I was doing good with my 8 grams of protein in the morning. You posted a thread with a sample menu for getting the macros in- that was super helpful. Do you have any other sample macro menus you can post? Or do you know of any websites that have sample menus?

    I have been doing well staying within my cals with healthy foods- but have had a difficult time developing meals that hit macros.[/quote]

    Try powdered de-fatted peanut butter like PBfit - much better stats
