I try to eat 1000 calories, get a minimum of 80-90 grams of protein and keep my carbs to 50 grams daily.  These are some of my staple high protein foods:


Protein pancakes--Fage Greek yogurt, protein powder, egg beaters (30 grams protein)

Chicken breast, tuna, shrimp or turkey burger patty for lunch (20+ grams protein)

Iced protein latte every afternoon (30 grams protein)

Lean meat fish or chicken with veggies for dinner  (20+ grams protein)

glass of high protein milk before bedtime (12 grams protein)

Personally, I finally broke down and ordered some of the IDS New Whey Protein supplements. Each one is 42grams of protein. Since we have to make sure we drink enough water, I take one tube and dump it in a 20oz reusable water bottle and add unsweetened herbal ice tea. It tastes good that way. 
I have found the cheapest price to be at http://www.supplementwarehouse.com/search.asp?strSearch=New+ Whey+liquid+protein&submit2=Go%21 so far. It's about $7 for shipping if you just want to get one box to start with. Just make sure you get the 42gram - they also have 25gram for about $2 less.
I also add powdered whey protein to anything that it will mix with like yogurt. I even found you can buy dried egg whites in bulk and that will mix with yogurt too. Just don't put it in anything hot unless you are trying for an egg drop soup style.
Hope that helps.
