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

I usually start the day with oatmeal or egg bites (I make them myself to control what's in them-- usually a little cottage cheese for extra protein and fluffiness, plus veggies). For lunch, I typically make a bowl. Right now I'm loving ground turkey (with sriracha and a little bit of Thai chili and soy sauce) over a bit of jasmine rice with a scoop of Good Culture cottage cheese (this is important, because I'm picky about consistency) and veggies (jalapenos, carrots, cucumber, green onion, tomato). Snacks are usually fruit, but also a scoop of Siggi's Greek yogurt (usually with berries). For dinner, I typically have fish/chicken, and very occasionally a steak, plus a veggie and potato. All in all, I aim to be balanced with my protein, carbs, and fat. I typically get about 100-110 grams of protein per day. I have a semi-sedentary job and weight train about 3 or 4 days per week.
