Chicken breast no skin grilled and salad on the side. Really up your protein intakes. 

I love fish. Additionally, any fat is good fat with them 😊  

Eggs eggs eggs ✌️ 

Hi as a minimum I believe a average person needs 56 grams of protein, a athlete with need more, you also need at leased 30 grams of fiber, if you are a vegan it can be difficult to get all the protein you need, if not meat, eggs, milk, cheese, fish,nuts, and beans are all a good source, the trouble is they all have lots of cals. fish and skinless chicken grilled or cooked in the oven are the way to go, boiled eggs , skimmed milk, low sugar baked beans, tinned fish like tuna in spring water, be careful with nuts as they have lots cals. Just as a matter of interest: protein and carbs. have 4 kcal/gram and fat as 9 kcal/gram approx. To much protein can be bad for you, but I do not know how much, to much is, just don't go for the body building stuff. Pete  

Lentils and chickpeas if you want a healthier option,  

Thanks everyone these have given me lots of inspiration. Love fish and haven't cooked in a while plus beans, lentils etc. Will try more of too 

@peter shaw Sorry but your sentence regarding veganism is simply not true. Seitan, tofu, tempeh, lentils, all different type of beans, soy products, hempseed, edamame.. plus all protein rich vegetables. There is plenty of vegan bodybuilders for a reason 😉! 

just missed protein goal but so much closer to it than I have been since starting so thanks again for the tips. @veganann I didn't realise there were protein rich vegetables so thanks for the tip off, I've stocked up on some following a good Google search!
