    MFP is not really a "diet plan" kind of place.

    chicken
    steak
    fish
    turkey
    whey protein
    some nuts, dairy and beans

    All good sources of protein, fit more of these into your calorie allowance and you will be making a good start.

    you cannot put on weight unless you eat too many total calories, regardless of how much protein you eat

    If you are going to increase protein intake...then you would reduce carb and fat intake accordingly.

    You will only gain weight if you were to consume more than your TDEE.

    Your TDEE is how many calories you burn every day (total daily energy expenditure). There are lots of calculators for it online! Eat less than that and you should be fine.

    I too am looking for more protein in my diet... greek yogurt is helping a lot so far.

    eggs, cheese, meat, quinoa (instead of rice or pasta...still carbs, but has protein too)

    greek yogurt is really good. I use it instead of sour cream. Get plain and add seasoning to it (fruit, cinnamon, etc)
