Easy protein heavy food suggestions? (rammy.site)

Hi all! I have lost 60 lbs so far, currently plateaued. I still have another 40-60 to go. I am having a hard time finding easy, protein heavy foods. I eat lots of chicken and eggs. I'm not a huge fan of beef - i like it, but don't like supporting the industry. I don't much like cooking anymore & most "quick and easy" foods are majorly carb and sugar heavy. Any suggestions for high protein welcome. Meal prep type recipes fine too, if i can knock out cooking a week's worth of protein snacks in one day that's great.

Happy losing :)

I started to substitute rice in many instances with chickpeas. Legumes themselves have protein but pair it with carbs, so I figured its actually "more effective" for my macros to not add bread/rice/pasta to a lentil/chickpeas/beans dish.

My current favourite is chickpeas in tomato sauce. I meal prep it for the week and all of the sudden chicken breast is not dry anymore.
