Any kind of lean meat is great for protein. Diary products like yogurt (especially greek), are also excellent protein sources.0

Beef jerky is a good high protein snack. I like Jack Links Teriyaki.0

People ask this a lot and I don't see how people struggle unless they are vegan which makes it a bit harder.
Doesn't need to be lean meat to get protein, red meat has just as much it's just lean contains less other stuff (fat etc).0 -

I am still trying to find the right balance of foods. I am sure its easy once you know, but right now I am still trying to adjust my diet and it is all new to me. I'm used to eating whatever I want in excess, unhealthy amounts.0 -

Also, not-so-lean meat is a great source of protein. You do need SOME fat; unless you're somehow going over 65g of fat in a day, I don't think you need to limit yourself to chicken0 -
Broccoli, Spinach, Quinoa, Beans ...0

Quinoa. I love it lately. I cook it with chicken stock which adds flavour.
I have mine cold with feta cheest, toasted pine nuts, beetroot, red onion, grilled chicken and then a dressing of extra virgin olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Yum.0 -
I love the pre made muscle milk drinks & salmon0

My 2 cents.. I wouldn't utilize nuts as a protein source. Although, they do have a few grams of protein in a serving, they are still considered a fat source, not a protein source.0
