I love eggs. They're the easiest, cheapest way I've found to meet my protein needs. I've recently realised that I'm having an allergic reaction to them when I eat too many and I'm struggling to think of good alternatives. Any ideas?

A little bit more about me: I do 5-6 short strength workouts a week (30 mins each). For years I've relied on eggs to meet my protein needs. But I'm having increasingly intense reactions to them (I'm currently covered in hives). I absolutely hate protein powder. I hate the gone-off milk smell and the sickly sweet flavours. I aim for around 150-170g of protein a day (I also eat carbs and fats, they're just easier to source lol).

I drink clear protein as an alternative to soft drinks but they're still only 15g max per glass. I buy a lot of deli meat because it's a handy, healthy snack and I used to always eat about 100g of it with 4 eggs most days for lunch. It's reasonably low calorie and full of protein. I also buy a lot of meat and fish generally -- I'm not opposed at all to a meat free diet, I just find it very easy to be consistent with meat.

Is there anything you can think of that has the key benefits of eggs? (Cheap, lowish calories, easy to make, not too artificial)

Thanks
