Black bean chilli - served without rice - has a decent amount of protein for the calories.
Dahl does too

Anything tofu based without carbs would work well. I do a nice tofu satay with Asian salad. Or a mild aubergine and tofu curry served without bread/rice.

Or any salad made with mostly veg topped with tofu and edamame.

Dhal, bean tagine or chilli with cauliflower rice.

I am also a big fan of tofu ramen and have it with beansprouts and shredded cabbage instead of noodles sometimes.

Make some seitan - super high in protein, not much fat and carbs. Really easy to make too (although I often mess mine up due to my own laziness).

serve with a ton of broccoli/cauli

I love a stir fry with veg and cashew nuts

Baked cauliflower in breadcrumbs (you can buy keto breadcrumbs if you’re being very careful about carbs) with katsu sauce is delicious!

But remember carbs have protein too! And might be good for protein combing etc.
