Are you sure you're craving protein and not fat? I started adding pine nuts to my salads to try to get more fat in. And we do coconut milk fruit smoothies to get more fat in as well.

Most of the foods that we think of as high in protein (meat, dairy, nuts) are in reality high in fat, which means they are the foods we want to fill us up QUICK when we are not eating enough carbohydrates to satiate ourselves.

Good luck! Most of the time this is what it is.
