Jerkey of any kind... Home made being the best because you can control the sodium...
Try smoked salmon!!!!
I second egg whites... you can eat 100 of them!0 -
I love boars head turkey - I split a laughing cow light cheese wedge in 3 and spread on 3 slices of turkey, roll up and yum! Sometimes I put mild banana peppers in the middle or have a pickle on the side.0

I try and stay away from typical snacks and instead eat "mini meals" that are high in protein so it fills you up and "sticks" with you. I usually boil chicken breasts for the week with Ms. Dash chicken and then shred it up to be pulled chicken. When i am hungry for a snack, I mix this with some salsa or some chopped up veggies. You can add a bit of shredded cheese, but I try and limit my cheese as I think it is just too high fat - every the low fat kind for my plan. You can also add sauces to the chicken - BBQ. teryaki, honey mustard, etc if you don't like the plain chicken. Usually 1-2 ounces with veggies mixed in is the perfect "snack" for me and it's doesn't add too many calories, fat or carbs to your daily intake - but takes away the hunger pains.
Also, a hard boiled egg works great for a snack. Or 2 egg whites scrambled with veggies very little calories - super low in fat and carbs. Try and think outside the box when it comes to snacking - eat real food instead of what we think of as snacks.
Good luck!0 -
Mission carb balance tortillas with chicken and egg whites.
Protein powder with water or Skim Plus0 -
Molten lava cake
1 egg white
1 heaping scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
sweetener to taste( 1 packet should be enough)
dash baking powder
less than 1/8 cup water
mix ingredients adding only little bit of water at a time until it is the consistency of cake batter. Microwave for 25 to 35 seconds. Should still be runny in the middle. Stir together. Ready to serve. I like to add 2 tbsp of fat free whipped cream to it too.0 -

Steamed, grilled or boiled chicken is great and you can have with loads of stuff.
Smoked salmon, grilled salmon is lush as well, with veggies though watch the carbs in the veg.
Hard boiled eggs are great for snacking - I found that finding snacks for work was the most difficult thing for me because it's so tempting to just have a sandwich. So what I ended up doing was boiling a few eggs the night before and taking them to work with me in a packed lunch to snack on throughout the day!
Avoid anything like gravy and sauces - very carby! xx0 -
Here are 3 of my go-to snacks:
Turkey Jerky sticks (buy them at Whole Foods)
100 calories of whole natural almonds
plain 0% greek yogurt
All low carb and all high protein0
