It depends on the type of protein-rich food you are wondering about.

red meats are very high in calories as well as pork

white meats are also high in calories, but much better for you than red meats

some beans are low in calories

Your best bet, is probably a smoothie with protein powder if you just want protein and do not care how you get it, however if you want protein from a kind of food you should go for nuts or fish
