Any form of eggs, are great - with some bunch of veggies. 

Lower fat cheese sticks - great protein snack on the go

for a quick meals - I sometimes get the lean meat dishes - by Hormel.  I usually buy the beef roast and then can just warm it up and eat with some veggies. 

Lean burgers (I buy turkey lean meat and mix with some bison meat, season well, form burgers and either grill all of them then freeze individually or pack individually and then grill from frozen as needed.  

Any steamable veggies - great for fast grab and go. (( I may add a pat of butter or oil after I steam them) 

My easy and fast chicken breast -  mix turmeric pepper and salt.  season the chicken breast with that mixture, then sear the chicken in coconut oil (not a lot) in a skillet on both sides, place in oven save dish and bake at 375 for 40-45 min. Turn oven off and let it rest inside for 10 min.  ( some times I also add rosemary or other herbs) Chicken like that can be great to add to any sauce, or salad, or just cubed and eaten with veggies.  

Another dish with chicken or other lean meat:  (typically use thigh meat) - chop any veggies you have (leftovers- getting old) in a crock pot, then chicken, then more veggies. Top with a jar or salsa. Turn on for 6-8 hrs.  It is stew like. I may strain some of the  liquid and us than for a soup later.. and make sure my stew is thick. (I use any veggies - onion, celery, zucchini, any type squash, carrots, peppers, beans, green beans.. etc.  (whatever is in he  house - fresh or frozen). I make sure that my stew have at least 50% of meat (if I use too much veggies - it become more veggie than proteins) 

Another simple dish: fresh or frozen fish - top with a nice layer of salsa - bake at 400 until the fish is done. (I use a parchment paper to  make small pouches.) 

Welcome to the group.  I love Quest Protein Bars, and Unjury protein shakes.  I eat grilled chicken, tuna, beans (all types), cheese, nuts and a lot of Morning Star veggie protein products.  These items take care of all my protein needs and then some.
