Nuts and beans are a really good source of protein. So are protein supplements.
Chili and other bean soups are very good. Also tofu.
I'm not sure what your typical meal plan looks like right now but I'm sure there is a way to tweak it to get in more protein.
Good luck!!!
Do you eat yogurt? Greek yogurt is a good source of protein. And like Susan mentioned, nuts and beans are a good source of protein as well.
There are also plain, flavorless protein powders on the market. You could always add some of that to your soup, eggs, chili, etc. to help boost your protein levels.
And when in doubt, don't be afraid to give your nut a call.
Good luck!
