I'm not even sure how to get more short of protein powder or supplements without blowing my calorie budget, but I wonder how it plays into my training (which I'm doing more for balance these days, than anything.)

If you want to fit more protein into your diet without increasing your calorie limit, you should decrease the fats or carbohydrates (or the combination of both) in your diet plan. Protein powder generally is the most convenient way of increasing your protein intake without increasing your calorie limit too much, unless you like eating plain egg whites/chicken breast.
