Proteins without fish or legumes

I'm trying to increase protein in my diet, but I am allergic to fish and don't tolerate legumes. Since weight loss is the goal, I find myself trapped in eggs, chicken and just very little dairy. Any suggestions what else I can add protein wise?

Hello,
The other rich sources of proteins are whole grain bread, brown rice, barley, soy, tofu and soy milk, nuts, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. For weight loss it is important to have a combination of aerobic and strength training. Include green leafy vegetables, fruits and less of spaghetti, potato etc. I suggest you eat frequent small meals and drink plenty of water .I hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
