Does anyone know of any simple foods to add to get a protein boost in my day? I know that many people add unflavored protein to their meals, but I'm looking for something different if at all possible. I have a hard time tolerating any powdered proteins. I'm falling short on my protein most days, but I don't want to add anything that's going to add anything but protein. I have room for more calories, as I'm averaging about 450 every day. I just can't quite eat enough at a meal yet to add more meat.

Greek yogurt and string cheese really helps boost my protein - sound like you might have caloric room for that!

For snacks I have jerky, hard boiled eggs, tuna and a small amount of sweet potato.

The Morningstar products are good (vegetarian protein). I like the breakfast patties (like sausage patties) for 10 g of protein and 80 calories, plus they are tasty--and the "meal starters" (also Morningstar) vegetarian meatballs. Also, fat-free crumbled feta cheese is a good source of protein, though it's a bit high in sodium so I don't eat it every day (same with fat-free cheese). I like greek yogurt with chocolate protein powder and splenda mixed into it. Or PB2, the dry peanut butter. Tastes like peanut butter or chocolate mousse....
