Greek yogurt
While many yogurts on the market can provide a lot of empty calories loaded with sugar, and would require you to eat far too many calories before reaching your protein needs, Greek yogurt is different. This thick and creamy yogurt offers 17 grams of protein and just 100 calories in a six-ounce serving. Its unique flavor goes well with sweet and savory items, so you can mix it with fruit and oats, you can spread it on your everything bagel, you can put it on toast, and you can even make interesting dips with it for chips and raw veggies. You can often find 32-ounce tubs of this food for under four dollars, and that should yield several meals.
