have you tried quinoa? It's very high in protein, and quite versatile

I normally LOVE hummus & will eat it all day long. The last time I ate it I gaged & had to spit it out.

Bean and sausage soup But I use a whole package of sausage, 2 or 3 cans of beans, 2 or 3 cans of tomatoes, a box of chicken broth (no water), and a bag of baby spinach. Makes a ton!
And I thought of this one on my drive home last night Black Bean and Goat Cheese Quesadillas you could add spinach to this, too

This is the vegan and vegetarian forum.
Also vegetarians don't eat meat, poultry and fish. Vegans not only avoid all the things vegetarians do, but also dairy and eggs (honey is also avoided by many.)

If you're doing well with carbs, I'd look at high protein grains like quinoa, amaranth and spelt. Quinoa is especially easy in place of rice or similar when you're making supper. Not for the rest of the family but just for you, I also did very well with protein or cereal bars.
There is a heritage cereal from Nature's Path brand that we get at the food co-op, that has a fair bit of protein, fiber, etc. that has at least some of these grains, and others like kamut. Combine it with some milk alternative and it's a pretty nutritious (and taste's good too) and protein dense. Or, for a treat combine it dry with brown rice syrup and peanut butter to make yummy, sticky bars. Your family would probably love to share those with you.
