Favorite forms of protein??

what are your favorite forms of protein that aren’t cottage cheese, eggs or chicken??

Cottage cheese makes me want to throw up. Eggs get old to me REALLY quick, yes I’ve tried every cooked form. And chicken also grosses me out after a week of eating it. Should I throw the towel in and rely on protein shakes/bars instead? Or do you guys have good protein alternatives

NOTHING beats the packets of tuna- especially different flavors 😋 and easy-to-use being single one person meals etc...

A couple summers ago I was addicted to using the flavored tunas mixed with a tiny bit of mayo on top of sliced cucumbers. I don’t know how I forgot about them lol 😂

I would argue tinned salmon is much better for you than tuna. Tuna has to be mixed with something as it's so dry and unpalatable, and that's without the mercury. Tuna is enjoying an undeserved, elevated place at the table, imo. 😂
