    The EAS Carbvantage chocolate is delicious and only a couple grams of sugar, 110 cals and 17 grams. DELISH

    I also like Premier Protein, but it's a bit harder to find. Also low carb and high protein for not a lot of calories.

    Canned tuna, Dannon Light greek yogurt or Low fat cheese individual strips are some good ones.

    This ^^^^^ I've also starting tossing a couple of these into my week.

    They take the place of sweets during the day and provide 20+ grams of protein.

    I really had a hard time with this too, especially as I'm not a big meat eater. I tried protein powders and really couldn't stomache them and could only drink them with orange juice, just as an attempt to get my protein in. I now make my own protein bars, and actually don't mind the taste! I found a knock off Quest bar recipe and make a batch every week and cut them into 5 bars. Really helps, then I normally have an egg with a pepperette or something at lunch, or tuna salad, and some kind of meat for dinner, or scrambled eggs with cottage cheese.

    Good luck!

    Watch out for fruit juices. You're getting all the fructose with none of the fibers, and much more quickly than snacking on an actual fruit.

    @babydaisy81‌ could you please please Share your knock off quest bar recipe :smile: At $5 a bar, they're so expensive. Especially when I could eat 2 or 3 a day!
