@ministerryan Not a fan of cottage cheese but lentils and chickpeas I can do. Thank you!
@skillz Look up collagen powders collagen peptides you can find one I think it's called Anthony's collagen type 1 and 3 it has protein in it and you can't taste it like you cannot taste it Just a hint in plain water and it's like is there something there no it's water Wait is it no it's water. You can pour it in your yogurt you can mix it into any drink juice whatever your coffee it doesn't matter that's an easy way to get protein.

@skillz Lots of good advice here! I’m also high protein and get tired of it so here’s a few things that help me change it up.
In case it hasn’t been mentioned: Unflavored whey protein powder (I use isopure, best tasting protein to cal ratio I’ve found). Super versatile, can be put into sweet or more savory situations without adding too much flavor/texture disruption. I add this to overnight oats, fruity smoothies (get those raspberries in, they have lots of fiber), etc.
Whole foods:
-Greek yogurt or skyr (a little more tart, fewer cals) are a game changer too. Can add to smoothies too
-Egg whites, adding eggs to stir frys, etc. I add nutritional yeast to eggs and have gone through 3 bags of it just w eggs this year so far, very delicious
-Lentils! I’ve been adding them to savory soups this soup szn. Cheap and filling, and what small flavor they add is great flavor in this setting
I don’t see a lot of dairy in your listed foods so I’d go for half a scoop of any whey powder and yogurt every few days to help ease your stomach into it.

@akbarkim2010 I kind of stopped eating yoghurt unless I made it into a dip because this one year I overdid yoghurt and got sick of it. Following that another year I was SO into smoothies but it triggered an issue with swallowing cold foods. So sometimes when I eat yoghurt now I cough. But I am thinking of getting back into it, I just won't eat it straight out the fridge, I'll add it to hot and savoury meals as a side etc. lentils is a good shout, how do you cook it when you add it to other foods? And what kind of meals do you add it to? Does it need to be pre-boiled or can it just cook through by sitting in a simmering sauce? E.g. a pasta sauce. I've only ever cooked lentil into dhaal but that's a tiny amount of lentils melted into a lot of water.

@skillz I feel your pain 
I can’t stomach whey protein I’ve tried good protein and it’s still pretty gross. Either I eat fish (mostly in the form of sushi or a poke bowl not necessarily raw), rubbery chicken, egg with rice (tamago kake gohan 1 egg yolk in hot rice with egg whites cooked separately add onions scallions seed weed whatever protein topping and veggies), or flourish pancakes sometimes with Greek yogurt, or protein powder with frozen fruit turning it into an ice cream. I used to have chicken breast portioned at 80g eaten 5 times a day like a snack which I’d throw into the oven to bake in aluminum foil. It was hard to eat forever but I’d season it with paprika olive oil etc. Canned sardines in spring water are also not too bad. At best 60g of protein for me 
. I’d have to do 5 servings pf protein powder shakes to get to 100g and beyond but i can only consume 2 in a day. So yeah, I feel your pain

So yeah, I feel your pain @dawn16 I'm in the UK, I'm sure we do have oikos, I'll look into it. I wanted to lose weight initially but ideally I need to lose body fat and if I can do that through recomp then maintenance is fine. Realistically I cannot eat less than 1500cal without losing my mind and so that's another reason why I have to be fine with maintenance as long as I can lose fat and gain muscle. So far I can see muscle and I haven't lost on the scale so I have to assume it's working and I am losing bf.
