Paleo diet is very high in protein as well, check this out as well.. www.amazingpaleo.com/

What I have done is break it up into smaller meals, since small snacks were not cutting out for me, I was still hungry.

I always have cottage cheese on hand, maybe mix it with yogurt add some fruit and granola, to make it more a meal, or even consider some cheese with veggies. I also make protein shakes maybe 1-2 a day if I cannot eat my small meal/snack.

Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt. I wasn't going to jump on the bandwagon until I learned that.

Are you vegetarian or vegan? Obviously meat, eggs, and dairy have protein.

I'm not sure if you eat meat? I'm a vegetarian, so my suggestions all lean that way.

In addition to PB and protein powder, I eat a lot of greek yogurt and soy. A lot of veggie burger type products - the faux sausage, bacon, chicken patties are really good. Try Morningstar Farms and Gardein products. Boca is also good, my favorite of theirs is the bratwurst. There's also a faux ground beef crumble that is fantastic in tacos, spaghetti sauce, etc..

Also, can I ask you to update in 2-3 weeks, to hear your results? I'm always curious about how diet changes affect people's athletic performance. Thanks!

If you are vegetarian, watch out for protein bars that have animal products in them.
