My understanding is that the recommendations are not for high protein  
foods, but instead, high iron food to be introduced first, after that,  
pretty much anything goes.  The dietician who spoke at my mother baby  
group said to introduce a food high in iron, it could be meat, iron  
fortified cereal, iron fortified tofu or beans.  Of course, I started  
with avocado and banana and then a little brown rice run through a  
food mill.
