69.Non-fat Greek yoghurt
70.Non-fat quark/yoghurt (plain or flavoured with aspartame)

Vegetable Proteins
72.Tofu



This is the "official" list, which I find a little repetitive (Dover sole and lemon sole - you jest!), not to mention hen's eggs and quail's eggs (yes, both!).

I understand that the good doctor likely wanted a round 100 foods to put on his approved list (the other 18 are the approved vegetables, which you are allowed to eat during Protein-Vegetable (PV) days), but I would like to personally narrow down the list for myself to make it a little less daunting.  I know, for instance, that I won't be consuming tongue, pigeon or rabbit, so those can be eliminated off of my personal list.

My next approved foods post should have my own personalized pure protein list.  For now, I guess I will have to tackle the grocery store with this two-page monstrousity.
