We cut back on red meat a while ago, so now I'm eating a ton of fish (the low mercury ones). Fish is so expensive where we live though! When I was growing up, we caught a lot of the fish we ate... although now that I think about it, I probably got more than my RDA of mercury that way.
Anyway I'd love to mix it up with some other sources of protein. Where do you get your protein?

Eggs, beans, nuts, and sometimes chicken. We eat meat and fish just not often.

We eat meat every day be in chicken or beef, have beans frequently, and usually have eggs at breakfast. We have nuts/nut butters often, as well, and while I can't have dairy the rest of my family has whole milk, yogurt and cheese on a regular basis, too.

Quinoa, eggs, cheese, beans and legumes, nut butters, the odd vegan protein shake.. I don't eat any meat/fish, so it can be a struggle.

@mrbee: Vegetarian here so I feel like I never have enough protein! Posting to follow!

Chicken, turkey, egg whites, protein shakes.....cottage cheese, greek yogurt....nut butters have as much fat as protein, so I don't consider them a good protein source. 7 grams per 100 calories is low.

Eggs! (We get a couple dozen a week from a local farm and make quiche and flan), lots of dairy (greek yogurt, cheese), fish, chicken, soy, lentils! (DH is a great cook), peas, beans, hemp.

Beans, quinoa, & vegetables (I strive to eat 3 pounds of greens and veggies each day - a surprising amount of protein in there!)

Beans, nuts in all their forms, seeds (sesame, chia, sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, quinoa), vegetables

Chicken, lean turkey meat, beans, eggs, protein shakes and protein bars. Then DH is an avid hunter/fisherman so our freezer is pretty well stocked with tons of deer meat and fresh fish from the gulf so we tend to eat a lot of that too.

a big variety, anything from ground turkey to chicken to fish to quinoa... I've been trying to move us away from red meat at home since we eat it enough when we are indulging/ dining out

Mostly chicken, turkey, eggs, tofu and beans (white beans, chickpeas). Fried, crispy chickpeas with coriander, paprika and garlic is a lot of fun!

Hmmm, I'm not sure what is my #1 top primary source, but top sources are definitely greek yogurt, eggs, quinoa and seafood.
