I go through phases of eating 1% cottage cheese and/or Fage plain fat-free Greek yogurt. I'll add Torani sugar-free syrups to the yogurt when I eat it.
I've seen canned chicken and know it must be nice and moist, but have no idea of what to do with it. How do you use it?

I just heat it up a little in the microwave and enjoy it. It's packed in broth and very moist. Once I put some Dijon mustard next to it on my plate and dipped. :)
Very early on I mixed it with some reduced-fat mayo.

I don't know why you should feel embarrassed about that. Whatever is, is. Looking for solutions is the way to go, and you're doing that. :)
How does 1% cottage cheese sit with you? When I ate that daily I used to add unflavored protein powder to it, in a proportion of maybe 1/2 scoop to 3/4 c cottage cheese. Not the best taste, but not the worst, either. Even adding, say, 1/4 scoop to 1/2 c of CC could help.
One of the things I like to do with protein powder for a change is make pudding. It only works with a couple of kinds in my experience, but it's a nice treat. I use the Syntrax micellar blends (they come in strawberry, vanilla and chocolate) and mix a scoop with about 1/2 cup of milk. Stir well (it doesn't lump - a spoon is fine) and add a drained single serve container of sf fruit ****tail, diced peaches or mandarin orange segments or 1/2 a banana. 25 grams of protein, about 200 calories.
