Can anyone help with low calorie high protein snack food options ?
Nuts are one but the serving sizes are too small....

    Greek Gods nonfat greek yogurt per serving is 9 grams protein, 100 calories. Plus it's delicious.

    Not much beats chicken breast, though.

    Chicken breast 4oz = 14g protein
    beef jerky 1oz = 12g protein
    an egg = 7g protein
    1 scoop protein powder = 25-40g protein
    protein bar = 15-30g protein
    8oz glass of milk = 9g protein

    Protein is calories so that's not gonna happen. Prelog your food, then you can make anything fit.

    Nuts are high calorie, low protein in my book. Cashew nuts are 3.5g per 100cal.

    Low fat Greek yogurt is great; Some brands have 20g protein per 140 cal.

    Seitan is great; my homemade seitan is 18g per 100 cal.

    Egg whites are around 10g per 100 calories.

    Protein powders; myprotein's impact whey is 20g per 100cal.

    Cottage cheese is around 15g per 100cal

    Definitely not nuts. Egg whites, chicken breast, tuna are good places to start.
