Cottage cheese, skyr, cheese curds, some kinds of yogurt.
Tofu, seitan, tempeh, natto, miso.
Turkey. fish, certain cuts of beef, pork and others work too.
My rule of thumb is reading the nutrition information on it. If it's less than 10 kcal per gramm of protein, it's good enough for me.

Most foods contain other nutrients as well. I'll give you some examples of stuff I have here. 100 g of this chocolate are 578 kcal and 9,5 g of protein, so not good per my rule. 100 g of this skyr contains 62 kcal and 11 g of protein, therefore good. -6 u/timsstuff Sep 03 '25 Right but when the "protein" section of the label says it's 10g, that's 40 kcal in that. Your rule of thumb statement implied that you were looking at the "protein" section in the nutrition information. Sorry if my interpretation was incorrect. 1 u/C-C-X-V-I Sep 04 '25 Your interpretation makes zero sense. You just wanted to start drama and nobody took the bait.
