I'm hoping to find suggestions…

confused about protein foods!
about a week ago I changed my macros to 40 protein and I've looked on here a bit for high protein foods. I keep seeing quinoa, almonds, yogurt.. but when I put those things in my diary they only contain a 4-8 grams of protein for a serving? Am I missing something or is that actually a high protein count for a serving?
