I second the protein powder idea. You can add it to your yogurt, cottage cheese, or whatever else - sometimes I have chocolate/peanut butter oatmeal for breakfast with chocolate protein powder. And lean ground turkey can be made into a million different meals - turkey burgers, meatballs, spaghetti sauce, shepherd's pie, ANY kind of casserole (just add veggies). Tuna is convenient. Lowfat egg salad sandwich (maybe use more egg whites to each yolk). Toss some chicken over a bed of raw spinach and romaine and you've got the base of a lovely salad. Or you could just add hard boiled eggs to whatever else you're eating for lunch.
I think you'll find you get used to eating more protein pretty quickly. And if you can't bear the thought of eating meat/fish more often than once a day, just work around it. You could even do a snack-type meal for lunch, or a whey protein smoothie with fruit and yogurt.
