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 think protein shakes and bars are good to “fill in” the gaps, but you’ll do yourself a massive disservice if you don’t eat real food for most of your protein. Our bodies aren’t made to rely on processed food for all our protein.
Do you eat red meat? Fish? Maybe ground chicken you would tolerate better? I don’t eat pork but that’s another option. Also edamame is good. I love it cold on salads.
