For the kind of protein you need, I would go with a protein shake. They make soy protein shakes.0

Definitely protein shake is your best best.0

Tofu, peas/beans? Just off the top of my head0

I agree, a protein shake is a great way to get the protein.0

Greek yogurt, peanut butter, whey?
I love makin protein smoothies as dessert. Although I think 75grams of protein is already more than the average person. Do what works best for you!0 -
I've had a protein shake already! Along with chickpeas, peanut butter, houmous, milk, veg, and tofu...0

Really? How do you find out how much you need?0 -
Well, you can eat the almonds, but you won't make it to 100g.0

Although I think it all depends on what works best for you0 -
Have a couple of eggs, a glass of milk, some low fat cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese triangles are a great wee source of protein - 5g and only 25 calories...there's loads of options...you seriously shouldn't skip breakfast. You've missed an opportunity for some protein and the chance to kick start your metabolism today0

After looking at it, you have a very high protein goal for the day. Is there a reason for that? Do you do a lot of weight training? The general rule is that if you are doing weight training, you want to do about a gram of protein for ever pound of lean muscle. With the amount of protein you are trying to eat for your size if you aren't lifting, and drinking lots and lots of water, you could be doing lots of damage to your kidneys.0

That seems very broad, don't you think; ages 19 to 70. From my understanding, to create muscle you need more than the RDA.0 -

How about refried beans?0

You have to balance carbs with a high protein diet. Which the OP is doing just fine with. I could be wrong, but a high protein diet is the standard for anyone looking to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.0 -
LEAN MEAT is the answer!
I see you eat too much snacks and also few of your meals are really protein sources. Include lean meat into your diary such as Tuna cans, Chicken breast, also protein veggies such as black beans. They all are very low in cals and some of the highest protein foods!0 -
This is a great tool to use! Definitely better to up your protein when you're exercising too!
