    Roast chicken from the deli at my grocery store works but are there other things quick and easy?

    Most foods that are high in proteins have little to no carbs. Any meat or seafood. Eggs. Cheese.

    Meat. All of the highest protein foods are meat (including fish), and none have significant carbs, so unless you are vegetarian I don't get the question.

    Eggs are also a decent protein source (have a lot of fat also) with no carbs (well, insignificant carbs).

    Dairy has some carbs, but something like cottage cheese is high protein and not that high in carbs.

    Seitan is a vegetarian source of protein that's not high in carbs.

    Yeah - I don't expect big protein numbers from whole grains, that's why I add protein to my morning oatmeal. It's about balance for me.
