    Wow i have never heard of Kale chips. Where can I find them?


    I think most stores carry them now. But I've made my own before. I think they are good, but you need to like kale. My SO didn't like them at all.

    So many great ideas here.

    My afternoon snack usually consists of 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 light string cheese, and flavored Greek yogurt. It's about 210 calories and 24 g protein. Next week I'm having tuna wraps for lunch and I'll be alternating between 1 cup fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt with 1 T PB2 and a hard-boiled egg (180 cal/21 g protein), and 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese with 1 T sugar free strawberry jam and a hard boiled egg (180 cal/16 g protein). I also eat Quest bars before lifting 4 days per week and I have a protein shake 5 days per week.

    My protein intake runs from 125-150g/day and my dairy is open if you want to check it out for more ideas.

    If you're looking for a vegan or vegetarian option, Primal Strips are great and they sell them online or at wholefoods :D They're seitan "jerky," and the thai peanut flavor is not only the yummiest, but it gives the most protein bang for your calorie buck (10 grams per 70-something calories.)

    Quest bars are brilliant and I'll also go with a vote on the Fage 0%.

    One of my other favourites is 1 slice of wholemeal hovis, 20g of jam and 20g of organic peanut butter.

    Ooooh what great suggestions...

    I was told quinoa is a great protein source, too.

    My favorite is a handful of cocoa dusted almonds. Not sure what you consider low cal for snacks, but a serving is 160ish calories and it helps with the chocolate/sweet cravings.
