good for you.
how about adding ~
tofu
turkey
beans+rice together = complete protein
yogurt
nuts
seeds
cheese in limited amounts.

i find a lot of these items at the grocery store salad bar.

I had gastric bypass surgery in 6/2006 so my lifestyle change requires a high protein, complex carb diet (I don't do pasta, rice, bread (occasional low carb tortilla), or white potatoes) I do use cheeses which might be too high in fat for your needs but... you are welcome to check out my blog www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com I blog what I eat/have eaten for the past 3 1/2+ years. Hope it gives you a few new ideas.

how about steaming edamame (soy bean pods)? we do this and the whole family loves them.

and we like to put plain yogurt into a blender with fresh fruit and make smoothies. I add stevia if it needs sweetening.

oh, and amaranth, I believe, has protein in it. you can cook it just like quinoa and rice, etc.

oh, I also like to drink "dream protein" (brand) shakes. sometimes I'll add "greensfirst" powder to it. the taste is much better than other powder drinks and it gives me energy too.

edamame is delicious!
great recommendation :)

thanks splitpea. It's so nice to run into nice ppl online. lately I've had lots of bad experiences, so I try to thank ppl when I can. = )

Thank you everyone for all of the great ideas. Now I have some new items to add to my grocery list : )

Tempeh is also a good protein and I roll it in rice tortillas with a dash of spicy peanut vinagrette dressing and lots of fresh spinach. Very delicious and healthy.

oh these ideas are all great. the spicy peanut vinegrette sound awesome. I am going to have to take that one and try it.

You can find spicy peanut vinagrette dressing at Trader Joe's.

You can also make your own spicy peanut vinagrette. Google for a recipe and play around with it to get the right texture and taste.

So many good ideas!!!! I recently had a weird experience where I lost sight in one eye and now I have a bunch of other symptoms. Since this happened I have been craving and eating seafood!!!! I have never been a seafood eater at all and now I want it all of the time. I have only had tuna and lobster so far, but am looking forward to some other kinds of fish. A lobster roll, something I have never had or even thought about has been on my mind for about a week now.
