I eat very high protein, shooting for 175-200gr per day . These are my daily go-to’s:

Beef jerky - Costco has a very tasty brand called Pacific Gold.

Cottage cheese with blueberries and/or strawberries, a few grams of grape nuts and a sweet balsamic vinegar. Nice mix of sweet/tart/creamy/crunchy.

Homemade skyr or Greek yogurt ice creams.

Greek yogurt whipped with sugar free pudding mix. Lemon is the best. Add a can of puréed pumpkin and pie spices to vanilla pudding and yogurt for a nice pumpkin pie mousse.

Nugo bars

Costco Kirkland brand protein bars

Chopped grilled chicken rolled in a low carb tortilla

A slice of low carb bread with a couple ounces of deli ham chicken or turkey

Slice of bread and Lidl (Aldi probably has similar) chicken sausage

Tuna mixed with zero cal Mayo and chopped green olives

Some of those flavored tuna pouches might be nice with crackers. Haven’t tried any of those.

Lidl occasionally has sardine and tomato pate in 50 calorie individual cans. Great with pretzels.

Roasted edamame or garbanzo.

Even something as simple as using a 20 calorie serving of fat free half and half in my coffee and tea buys a couple grams protein.

It all adds up.

I also start my day with a high protein pancake using cake mix (red velvet is my favorite), bisquick, cottage cheese, plain whey powder, liquid whey leftover from homemade skyr making, eggs, and liquid egg whites. It’s filling, satiating, and starts my morning with 20 or so grams protein. I hit it with a little cream cheese and zero cal chocolate syrup, roll em up and pretend they’re Little Debbie Cake Rolls for breakfast. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂

Deviled eggs with tuna or other lean meat added to the filling. If you add very little of the tuna water and very little of the pickle juice, you can use less or no mayo, depending on your taste.

Cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, basically any white fish or seafood in general, and legumes are my go to

Hard boiled eggs (or pickled eggs), low fat cottage cheese, low fat string cheese, crispy chickpeas or broad beans (some protein, but lots of nice crunch), lupini beans, puppodums (microwaved, not deep fried), other tasty reduced fat cheese (tomme, light Jarlsberg, Cabot Lite 50 Cheddar, etc.), nonfat Greek yogurt with frozen berries and defatted peanut flour (or peanut butter powder like PBFit, PB2, etc. - PB2 chocolate is especially nice). Cottage cheese with salsa mixed in, plus bean tortilla chips (such as Beanitos) would meet your goal (chips 130 calories per ounce, cottage cheese around 113 per half cup, salsa at about 20 calories per double serving).
