sorry that nobody responded, I usually just look at the main forum questions. I drink designer whey protein, it has 90 calories and 18grams of protein. Sardines, tunafish, eggs, chicken, other meats have alot of protein. For the least amount of calories sardines, whey and tuna offer the most protein. Dairy also has protein. Cheese, milk, yogurt. Maybe you find more info on the tutorials. Protein should be eaten throughout the day to be absorbed by the body. You need about .5 x each lb. of body weight in protein. For example me 140 x .5=I need 70 grams. When you heat protein it loses protein so subtract a few grams if it's heated. You also need more protein if you exercise.

Any reputable protein powder that contains 75% to 80% (or more) of protein should do.
Otherwise:
An egg-white omelet (3 whites with 1 yolk), cottage cheese (low fat)...
And Nir was (is?) a big fan of TVP (textured vegetable protein) which he (used to?) picks up at incredibly low prices, I seem to remember. Substituted for meat in dishes like chilli / moussaka / lasagne, this raises the protein level without the attendant caloric penalty of meats and such.
Good luck in your search.

Yes, I'm still a fan of TVP.
There's a shop in Wolverhampton that sells savory TVP for just 23p per 100g

Thanks for the info, Nir. That's a bit of a commute from Faro, though. Don't suppose you know any good outlets in Portugal...?

Ha. It is a bit of a commute from Milton Keynes, too (1.5 hours on the motorway - and I don't drive!)
I have no relevant info for Portugal.

I haven't been forced to make any, but eating out in a country that's cuisine is based on seafood, chicken and pork is tricky for a vegetarian. Thank goodness for Indian restaurants (a great one just opened in the seaport nearest where I live!)
