High-Protein Food Options in Colombo—Why So Limited?

Why is it so hard to find high-protein groceries like yogurt, drinks, or bars in Colombo? I'm here for work, staying in hotels, so I can't cook my own food with chicken or eggs. The meals I get are mostly high in carbs and low in protein—the exact opposite of my usual diet.

I checked out a protein shop at a mall, and a 1KG bag of protein powder was 33,000 LKR (about $111). Isn't that crazy? Or is protein just valued like gold here in Sri Lanka?
