Discussion
Instead of posting in the protein shakes thread about protein breads etc I thought it might be better to start a new thread. Tesco extra near me are selling dr zakks protein pasta which actually turned out to be quite nice with some evoo and sun dried tomatoes. They also have a whole aisle dedicated to macro friendly meals and drinks, so you can determine how many calories you want to consume and choose which meals you want for the day. The drinks are stevia sweetened also.
Interestig stuff that pasta.

I'll probably give it a try, but it is expensive for pasta. Looking at the standard (cheap) pasta I have in the cupboard, I get over 20g protein in an actual serving. Add a bit of meat and it's easily 40g+ for the meal. However, that is a good sized portion so not exactly 'low carb' if that's what you're looking for.
As you mention breads, the Soya & Linseed offerings are quite high in protein. They taste far better than the plain bread, great toasted with butter, and keep well in the fridge.
Looking at the loaf I have here (Burgen - Soya & Linseed) Values per slice: Protein 7g, Carb 12g (sugar 2.4g), fat 4.4g, 124 cal.
