I generally adhere to a low carb diet. Not Atkins or anything but I totally avoid white stuff( bread, rice,pasta) and strive to get my carbs from whole grain bread, quinoa and fruits and veggies. I want to decrease the meat in my diet but don't want lack of options to make me go heavier on the carbs. My sample diet for a day-
Breakfast- 3 egg whites, 2 strips turkey bacon, fruit( usually blueberries&strawberries)
Lunch- turkey burger open face on whole wheat bread w half slice pepper Jack cheese,mushroom and avocado
Dinner- baked skinless chicken thighs, quinoa, green beans
Between meals I might have a protein shake, almonds, peanut butter & banana etc
I am not ready to become a vegetarian but my goal is to to start eating only ONE serving of animal protein per day 5 days out of the week. Any ideas for substitutions or foods that are not animal flesh that are high on protein. I have already started eating more fish, but I can't handle it more than 2x a week.

Not that I eat uber-healthy anyway, so there's definitely stuff in my diet that's not great, but I've tried to get away from stuff with corn products in it, and soy.
