Interested in replies, I'm a vegetarian and never get enough protein. I don't like the idea of shakes.0

Chicken, eggs, and fish. I'm a fan of the shakes, but I guess they're not right for.everyone. I'd google high protein foods, I'm sure there are a ton. I think nuts are.a good source too.0

As tadpole said its pretty nasty tasting to be honest. Whenever i eat it i have it with protein powder or you can get some cheap milkshake powder to mask the flavour, then its quite nice.0

Chicken breasts,
Cottage Cheese,
Eggs,
Turkey,
Tuna,
Nuts
I like to cook up a load of turkey breast pieces and eat them cold the next day as a snack. Or vegetable sticks dipped in cottage cheese is low cal but a good source of protein. x0 -
If you want any ideas, I can add you as a friend and you can check out my diary. I eat a pretty high protein diet (I aim to hit about 150g of protein per day) so maybe it would help you to see just how I get all that protein. I eat a lot of chicken breast, whey, eggs (mainly the whites) and canned tuna. I'll sometimes eat deli style ham, fish, pork (rarely) and beef (rarely). Beans, cottage cheese, tofu and Greek yogurt have a lot of protein as well, but I have limited access to those proteins since I live in Japan (well obviously not the tofu part, but I have a slight allergy to it). Anyways, feel free to add me but those are basically the best foods to eat in order to up your protein!
One word of advice... don't suddenly go from a low/regular amount of protein to a ton of protein per day. You may find that you have some digestive problems :P0 -
I am almost always over. nuts, fish, and egg whites seem really high. I do eat a little meat obviously, I also start the day with a protein smoothie.0

I whizz up my own shakes - fat free yoghurt, sometimes skimmed milk and bananas. Add some ice cubes and it taste lovely!0
-
Add shelled hemp seeds to your breakfast (if you have cereal or oatmeal, for example) or have it with yoghurt or soy yoghurt. It'll give you lots of healthy fats too!
Quinoa instead of pasta or rice - it's much higher in protein!0 -
How about raising the protien without sending cholesterol and fat through the roof. I meet my protien goal easily, but I often exceed the fat and cholesterol. I found that peanut butter and nuts raise the fat too quick and eggs raise the cholesterol. Am I really only stuck with chicken, fish, and turkey for options.0

Just do egg whites with the eggs. Though I keep reading that the yolk isn't bad for you at all, I hate the taste.
I also add flax and chia seeds to things0 -
Egg whites, chicken breast (relatively lower than other meats here), and protein powders (only some though, check labels) are usually good choices here, but I wouldn't worry bit about dietary cholesterol.
Most all of your cholesterol comes from what your body makes.0
