High protein food ideas?

To promote healing while I'm in radiation treatment, they want me to eat a lot of protein, like 80g or more a day. So I am looking around for foods that are high in protein but not too high in fat. Have any favorites foods, snacks or meals that pack 20g or more of protein?

It depends on the fish. Salmon, turbot, and fatty tuna are all very high in fat. These are the "good" fats, but if your doctor is advising you to keep overall fat low, you should probably be careful about which fish you eat. Halibut, ahi tuni, and mahi mahi all tend to be good.
