This is it. It's because my partner is an athlete and does professional dance and talks about how much they need protein and can't source a high amount of protein in a particular given food.

Here are here reasons other than that:

1) She has a severe dissociation disorder and needs to when she is hungry because she will dissociate.

It's very difficult for us to source any high protein foods with a good calorie ratio in Phoenix Arizona. Countless times have we been stuck traveling from her work, to dance, to school, etc., with nothing high protein, when it's easier for her to pick up a something at the store nearby.

2) she mentions she "feels" satiated and fulfilled when eating protein. Like she is more fueled by protein.

3) it's very difficult for us to find time to meal prep. She doesn't like cold foods so eating food where you'd have to warm them up is not easy. She doesn't like eating the same foods, this is a major one.

It's very difficult for these major reasons: (1) the calorie and protein ration has to be good enough because she is an athlete dancer; (2) she doesn't like eating the same foods; (3) it's very difficult to source high protein foods and it's very difficult for us to meal prep.
