Unhappy protein problem

Hi all,

I am having a hard time eating enough protein on this plan (fat/ carbs are not my problem )

Based on fitday calculations, I am averaging 25-30% protein, between 100 and 125 grams. And I am literally choking it down, at that (just finished a turkey mediterranean salad lunch).

I try to eat a pretty varied menu (posted in my journal a few days ago for any suggestions) to avoid boredom, but I don't really eat red meat or pork and can only take fish in limited amounts... and I can't stand the sight of raw meat so... it's turkey slices, chicken salad, eggs, protein shakes, cottage cheese, the occasional salmon or tuna, lentils... Oh, I'm not a huge tofu fan either -- I can eat it in miso soup or blended into something, but not stir-fried chunks of it.

Does anyone else have this problem? What else are you eating that is high protein and relatively low fat/carb? I'm really trying to up my protein to 40% and decrease fat.

Thanks in advance for your help.
