I keep pork rinds in the house, and I snack on them at the end of the day in front of the TV or computer.

1 serving is 1/2 oz. @ ~ 80 cals and 8g protein, with a cost of $0.18.

Cheese is also a good option ( bricks or sticks ), just be sure to compare your options, and get the ones that fit the nutrition/calorie profile you want.

For instance, a part skim mozzarella cheese stick @ ~80 cals and 7g protein, with a cost of $0.22

Some of the other stuff ppl have suggested are in my fridge/pantry. Basically, your best options are going to be around 10 cals or less per gram of protein.
