Two eggs will get you 25-30g, very low calorie if you only eat the whites (not exactly tasty though). Chicken/turkey and tuna (or white fish like cod, especially if limiting salt intake) are roughly 25g per 150 calories.
Basically a couple of eggs and a chicken breast / bit of fish is plenty and under 500 even if you eat the yolks.
Veggie is harder, especially if you don't have dairy, because the best non-meat protein sources are also high calorie (cheese, nuts, etc).
