Default How do you get enough protein?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread here.

Being fairly new to lifting (started in Feb) and still wanting to lose fat, I'm struggling with getting in enough protein to hit the 1 gm per lb of LM (132)and keeping calories reasonably low. I'm still at the point with my lifting that I'm not burning enough calories to eat high cals, so a steak or 2 a day just won't work for me.

I hit 91 gms of protein today, but that was by adding an Atkins shake. I know a lot of folks eat cottage cheese, but even a cup a day has just 26 gms of protein. Besides the obvious meat choices, what else do you eat that is high in protein, but low in calories, too?

Thanks for your suggestions.
