What do you guys eat to get protein from real(or healthier processed) foods? I’m a slightly picky eater but will try anything and I’m struggling to find stuff to eat to get enough protein besides chicken, ground beef and the occasional steak

this is a bit niche but if you can tolerate gluten, get vital wheat gluten/gluten flour. ratio is 120 cal to 23g protein. Mix that with water- and optionally nutritional yeast (recommend), spices, etc.. and roll it into smaller pieces & bake. My personal favorite method is taking about 1/2 a cup of it (46g protein), 2 tbs nutritional yeast (4g protein), and water. Then making small balls & boiling them in water mixed with baking soda and then salting them and baking them- you get pretzel bites

the baking time is honestly the most challenging part, approx 10 min at 400°F is what I’d guess is ideal but size, air frier or oven, etc.. matters I haven’t really mastered the time aspect yet. Or just make anything with seitan but you said you were picky so these could be fun.
