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!
