7. Wholegrain breakfast cereal (About 13 grams of protein per serving)

Think cereal is only made for breakfast? Think again! A high protein, high fiber cereal can offer about 30 grams of carbs, 13 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber per serving. It’s perfect for recuperating after a workout. I recommend the Kashi brand.

8. Low Fat Cottage Cheese (13 grams of protein per half cup)
