Hi - There's so much great advice in the earlier replies to your question I don't have much left to say! I would eat oatmeal - it's a good source of protein, and you can make it with rice or almond milk.
Do check the recipe board for tons of chicken breast recipes.
And, for the soy, if you've never had it before and then suddenly tried eating a lot of it, you may just have to take this slowly and adjust. Soy has raffinose, a bean sugar, and your body may not be used to it. You may want to try just one glass of soy milk a day, and take it with Beano, which will help digest that sugar. Over a week or two you should adjust, and once you're used to digesting it soy should not be a problem. If you suspect you're allergic or something then don't do this - but if you're brand new to soy it's a good way to get used to. This is actually true for all beans.
Best,
Heather
