Thanks for your question! Low fat/high protein options:
lean meats
low-fat dairy (yogurt is great in smoothies! I like the Stoneyfield farm yogurts as they are a great source of calcium!)
bean/legumes
eggs (whites are where the protein and B vitamins are found whereas the fat and cholesterol are found in the yolk; 2 egg whites can be substituted for 1 egg in recipes)
nuts/nut butters are great sources of protein but also have higher amounts of healthy fats. These are good to include in your meal plan though, just in moderation
Tofu/soyfoods are also excellent sources of protein!

Low fat options are most white fish. Get healthy omega-3's, and only moderate fat, from salmon, tuna (go for pacific albacore for lower mercury).

Beans are good too.

What about supplementing your diet with a low cal protein shake? I usually have one with my breakfast in the morning. You'll notice that it helps fight off hunger, too.

I use Designer Whey Protein. Only 90 cals per scoop (you mix with water) and it has about 14 grams of protein! Its a great way to start the day!

I'm sure the dietitian will have some more and better ideas but here are mine...tofu, turkey, chicken, pork tenderloin, low fat yoghurt, low fat cottage cheese to name a few.

While this is just my first week here, I've already noted a challenge with my intake that I'd like some input with. What are some lowfat/high protein snacking and/or meal options? I'm on the No Restrictions plan, but would like to increase my protein intake while decreasing my fat intake.

Thanks,
Heidi
