All of the above are great. I'd add tuna just for the ease and convenience. Easy to keep a couple 3 ounce easy open cans handy. I've got a couple in my car, couple on my desk and probably a couple in my gym bag.

And us older people remember Anita Bryant with "Ounce for ounce, nothing has more protein than peanut butter" or whatever her exact words were in her Skippy peanut butter commercials.

peanut butter
chicken breast
beans
sea food

why no powder?

Cottage Cheese is great more protein then Greek Yogurt
Meat and fish will give you your biggest amount of protein per gram consumed
Milk
Tofu (you can use soft Tofu in protein shakes instead of powder)
Temeph
Edamame (soy beans)
low fat cheeses
eggs
egg whites
etc

I found these awesome protein bars that are amazing. They have 21 grams of protein, 16 carbs, 8 grams of sugar, and 190 calories.

Egg and egg whites

Pumpkin seeds

Chicken, beefs, pork

Beans

Hope that helps

The powder is very versitile. You can make smoothies, you can bake with it, milkshakes, etc. If you are afraid of perservatives you can find organic non GMO versions, they are just more expensive. One scoop of powder can equal up to 20 grams of protein depending on the brand. I would give it a try.

Me too. What is the average person shooting for as far as grams in one day?

You should be aiming for 0.7 to 1 gram per lb of LBM (lean Body mass) So if you are 160 and 20% BF, you should be getting between 90 and 128 grams of protein so on a 1500 cal/day diet that would be 24-34% of total calories.

my breakfast today: i cup egg whites, 1 cup spinach, handful of grape tomatoes, one slice of cheese
Lunch: pistachio chicken (chicken breast dipped in extra virgin olive oil then rolled in crushed pistachios) served with salad and a 4oz greek yogurt. 90g protein before 2pm! I wil lhave some other lean meat for dinner, maybe pork loin.
