    Number 1 source-All forms of meat. (Eggs)
    Dairy, beans, legumes, soy and other alternatives.
    Supplement with protein powder/bars when needed

    You can use protein powder in a lot of foods you like such as pancakes, muffins, porridge, cookies, cakes, and a favorite snack of mine is protein balls. (Theres tons of easy recipes online)
    Great way to up your protein if you don't like or are getting bored with the usual sources. You don't have to just drink it like a shake.

    Chicken breast will give you some of the best bang for your buck in terms of protein per ounce and as percentage of calories. Most fish and seafood too.

    In what way are you a picky eater? That could describe almost anything.

    I drink a protein shake just about every day. Premier Protein is my favorite one...they have 30 grams of protein and tons of great flavors. I also eat egg whites, turkey sausage, chicken, shrimp, cottage cheese, steak, and Greek yogurt for protein sources. By including at least one of those into every meal and snack, I usually get over 100g per day.

    Without any information regarding what you will or won't eat, I will say...proteins. Poultry, seafood, meat, deli meat, sausages, etc.

    also, why did someone disagree with your post? weird.

    You'll have to share what foods you won't eat.

    If I mention what foods I do eat it will be easier basically chicken and steak but it's hard to eat the same thing every day

    If you can find beans that you like then you'll have an inexpensive option that you can flavor however you want. Try picking up a few cans of un-sauced beans and see what tastes okay. They have a very simple taste when they're served plain, a lot like chicken. I'm a picky eater too and I found that various black bean recipes are a life saver.

    It's hard to beat shrimp in terms of protein per calorie. It's not cheap, though.

    Meat, beans, fish, nuts. I'm not sure what you don't like so I can't get specific?

    Not as high in protein as meat and fish ... but at least 14 % protein per 100 grams.
    Have you tried quinoa yet? Quinoa can be prepared in many ways.
    100 grams of quinoa contain about 360 kilocalories - as much as the same amount of rice or pasta. The difference, however, lies in the nutritional composition: Quinoa, in contrast to pasta & co., scores with complex carbohydrates, lots of fiber and an extra portion of protein (14 %).
