Is there a list of the protein content of food listed somewhere?

Im postop and Ive been reading a lot about protein supplements and the need to get in 60 grams of protein a day. I'd like to try getting my protein from regular food and see if its possible to meet this minimum requirement with a 2 ounce stomach. I can tolerate dairy and meats just fine but Im having trouble determining just how much protein Im getting. Ive read diets where it lists the amount of carbohydrates per serving but where can I find out how much protein is in an egg or an ounce of meat or fish? It seems like I would be fine eating cottage cheese and yogurt and drinking nonfat milk and eating fish and eggs each day but its hard to manage the protein intake without more info. Is it possible to live as a post-op without having to supplement your protein intake? I cant imagine having to be on protein supplements 5, 10 or 20 years down the road.
