Per a lot said, not all protein is equal and not all fat is bad fat as far as I am concerned. I am a huge fresh salmon fan from local fish markets. Not from grocery stores - the taste is very different. I also like other kinds of white fish that are low in calorie, quick to cook, and high in protein.
Canned oysters/muscles are a great snack and the macros are pretty good.
I put Greek yogourt into my smoothies and do use a scoop of whey too to ensure my first meal I am getting 60 or more grams of protein.
Cottage cheese is a great source like
@animal-inside said, I like the taste, some hate it. I like Swiss cheese - check out the macros on Swiss cheese - not recommending eating a block, but added to 6 eggs (cutting out some of the yolks), with a little meet thrown in is a great meal. I like ham, but it is not the best for macros. You can put in any meat you like. Eggs digest so quickly, and I have a high protein gluten free bean bagel with it. They are tasty and healthy and one almost hits your fibre requirements for the day.
Due to time restrictions and the hate for cooking 4-6 times a day, I will often make chicken fried something with a cast iron pan. Just cook a lot of rice - brown is better but some people don't like the taste, I pick a meat I like - sometimes a reasonably tender beef that is low in fat (
@Sorbate is a wealth of knowledge on animal protein), tons of egg whites and a few yolks as the choline is great for brain health/liver health and general health, I love asparagus and considering it is loaded in indole - 3 - carbinol which is good for hormone related cancers, steam some and mix it in. If you prefer brussel sprouts or broccoli - they are great too but I prefer asparagus. This makes several servings, just weigh it out as I count the cals in total, protein/carbs, etc. and do my best to mix it evenly and store it in the back of the fridge in glass containers. When I am hungry throw it in the small cast iron skillet and heat it up. If you prefer the microwave - even quicker.
Sounds like a lot but I can do this in 40 minutes and make 10 meals. I don't mind eating the same thing. You can favour with salt and pepper. Use the pepper after you are done cooking, it is not a good idea to cook pepper.
I wish I had access to some of the other meats people mentioned, but I don't. I am limited in what I can get a local butcher shops. I support local farmers and smaller butcher shops as their prices are usually better, and their meat/fish is better than the grocery stores.
Just a few ideas, but I hear you on chicken - it gets old after a while even though it is considered a healthy and dense food for calories/protein.
The comment on Pork, sure nothing wrong with that suggestion. I avoid pork as a rule as it one food that can promote inflammation. Nothing against
@bc__boy as I do it eat it periodically, just not my preferred. Agreed though, it sure is tasty!
Good luck on your quest!
