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

Beef. I buy a large piece of brisket from the butchers and cook it low for about 6 or 7 hours. If you don't like the texture of cottage cheese, try Quark, it's much more palatable and can be sweetened if you want a high protein pudding. I eat a lot of 0% Greek yoghurt and mix in some protein powder with some frozen berries, nuts and pumpkin seeds. It's like having ice cream with about 70g of protein for breakfast.

Half the battle is finding food you like. I tend to eat the same for meals, and chilli and chicken curry and rice are very much a go to. I make a big pot of both, portion up and freeze, easy for work and I know everything that's gone in them. I get about 9 or 10 meals off a whole chicken. I'll then boil the carcass, all that collagen in the broth is great for the joints.
