I a looking to get back into things in the new year and I have a desk job. I was wondering if you could share suggestions for high-protein snacks I can eat in the office. I am happy to make things from scratch.

    Beef jerky, bilthong, crispy roasted chickpeas. If you have access to a refrigerator crab sticks and hardboiled eggs. If you have access to cutlery, small tins of water packed tuna. Not low calorie but filling: nuts.

    Rx bars, turkey pepperoni, Greek yogurt with fruit

    I used to make up my own nuts and dried fruit mix (I hesitate to say, "trail mix") and keep it in my desk and/or lunch kit. Protein, fat, fiber and some carbs. I did try making my own bars, but didn't find that to be a productive endeavor for the long haul. I found nuts.com had a good selection of quality ingredients. They sell their own mixes, but I liked to blend my own (I'm retired now, and revert to this approach for a takealong cycling food).

    I bring a baggie with couple of mini turkey pepperoni, a string cheese and a few Mary's crackers in case I get snacky. You could obviously skip the crackers.

    I like dry-roasted edamame/soy nuts, too. They come in various flavors. Crispy broad beans are also good. I like the individual packs to take with me as shelf/desk stable snacks.

    Check out Quest products. They have a bunch of bars/chips/chocolates that are high in protein and low carbs.
