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?

Seitan (wheat gluten) is high in protein and low in fat. Primal Strips veggie jerky strips have 10-11g of protein per 1 oz serving, and they're tasty and available at the Harvest Coop (also orderable in boxes from Amazon). So that's one thing you could add to your daily diet.

You could also make smoothies with Greek yogurt and fruit and add protein powder to it -- whey, soy, and/or hemp powders will all give a great boost.

I second the Primal Strips. They come in both soy and sriram versions so you can complement your proteins, and they're spicy and delicious.
