Nuts, peanuts (including peanut butter) and protein snack bars between meals.

There are other brands besides Clif and Luna Bars. Special K bars have 10g of protein (for comparison, 20g protein in a clif bar, 17.5g in a quarter lb burger).

Buy Loma Linda/Worthington canned, ready to serve veggie food (sold at the Potomac ABC store in Silver Spring, or on Amazon.

You can also eat marinated/baked tofu from Trader Joes (savory or terayaki).

Also try soybean nuts (like peanuts)

I'm not the OP, but why do people keep suggesting meat??

hard boiled egg
nuts (I love peanuts)
and if you eat fish, salmon salad made from canned salmon (with mayo, curry powder, salt, and something sweet like raisins, currents, apple pieces or cut grapes)

Read the hummus label - there is not a lot of protein per serving in store bought hummus.

Frozen burritos -- nuke 'em, wrap 'em in foil and take 'em with you.

Lara Bars!
I also drink Vega One chocolate protein shakes (dairy free!) made with almond milk and I add some peanut butter.

You could buy protein powder and drink that on the go. Mix it with water.

I buy the Trader Joes organic beef sirloin roast. Just slice it and go.

I am vegetarian and expecting so I have been making a special effort to up my protein. Here is what I am doing:

-Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, which it sounds like you are doing as well
-Nuts for snacking
-High protein dinners that I pack for lunch as leftovers as well. For example, bean pasta bake with tvp crumbles.
-A bean salad that I sometimes make on the weekend and then eat with crackers for lunches or snacks during the week
-These chicken free beyond meat strips are good straight from the package, no cooking/heating required. We keep them on hand for a high-protein snack: http://www.beyondmeat.com/products/lightly-seasoned/
-My husband and i have loved this carob shake we found a recipe for in a vegan pregnancy book. It is simple and quick to make - soy milk, pb, banana, ice and carob powder. It is delicious and a great high protein breakfast

Hope this helps!

I am definitely not getting enough protein in my diet. I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, so once I've had yogurt and cottage cheese I'm pretty maxed out on dairy for the day. I also don't really eat meat. I'm a busy person and do a lot more snacking and on-the-go meals than actual sit down meals, so things like beans and tofu, while I love them and eat them when I can, aren't practical on a day to day basis.

Any suggestions on where to get more protein? I'm not a huge fan of things like Clif or Luna bars but maybe someone has a better brand? Any ideas?
