I'm not on a low card diet, or anything like that, however, I noticed I need to increase my protein intake. What are your suggestions of foods that are high in protein but low carb?

I have to also share that I eat carbs since I run I need them for energy so I'd like ideas to add with my snacks and/or meals.

Thanks!!!

    I dunno about low carb, other than just straight up meat.


    I do a lot of FF cottage cheese (rinsed in strainer if you wanna watch your sodium).
    Whey protein powder is another great way to get it without carbs.

    I do a 3 egg omelette with cheese every morning.
    Low carb, and a decent amount of protein.
    I throw ham and turkey into it on occasion.

    Little franks red hot on top, and its amazing.

    I eat a lot of eggbeaters for breakfast. I throw in some mushrooms and cheese to it. I have a big salad every day for lunch with roasted chunks of chicken or shrimp in there. I snack on mozzrella cheese sticks. I use protein powder when hitting the gym hard. I eat meat every night for dinner. I generally stay away from carbs or anything that comes in a box.

    I'm a big fan of egg whites. 6 egg whites = 102 calories, 2 g carbs, 21 g protein:) It's one of my favorite post-workout snacks!

    Friendship Brand cottage cheese has no salt added. Only 60 mg in 1/2 cup serving. But it's not fat free, 1%. Small price to pay for me.
