Beans are fantastic. Hit the bean shelf at the grocery store and check out the nutritional data and pick one. I found this creole creamy beans and they're excellent. I add some diced green peppers and lean ground turkey and spice it up with a little cayenne and garlic, it's great. Canary beans is another one that I was eating that have some good flavor. I've backed them out of my diet b/c of the carbs but they are a nice alternative to meat.
watch the sodium on the beans though... it adds up fast...
fucking lactose intolerant sucks man... i feel for you... white fish is such a good lean mass builder though... ground turkey is another one i love... there are different kinds of cuts of ground turkey... the turkey cutlets have a different type of flavor to them and they are just awesome... be careful not to cook them too long because they cook quickly, but they are excellent...
