How high in protein do you want to go? Protein comes with a higher amount of calores typically so the higher you go, the higher the calorie count. For instance, I eat about 150g of protein a day. 32g in a piece of chicken breast and that's about 150 calories which to me, isn't too bad.

Hard-boiled egg, canned tuna, slices of lean turkey meat.

I don't pay any attention to calories, but mine are all high-protein low-carb.

My go-to snack is hard-boiled eggs: boil eggs in water 10 minutes. Chill in freezer 5 minutes. Drain, peel, eat. Easy to carry with you, 6g protein.

I make spinach quiche and low-carb meatloaf in muffin tins, so I have little portion sizes to freeze & use throughout the week.

Mini-quiche: Makes 6.
6 large eggs; Pepper (to taste; optional); Salsa (try to find one with no sugar or corn syrup)
Frozen leafy greens or frozen spinach (1 use a 10-oz box); Parmesan cheese (or shredded cheese of your choice)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin pan. Blend the eggs, pepper and any other spices you'd like.
Drop about a tablespoon of frozen leafy greens and a half tablespoon of salsa into each cup. Fill with the egg mixture then top with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Bake at 350 about 35-40 minutes. Let them cool for about 15 minutes and they pop right out.

Meatloaf: Makes 12
2 lbs ground meat, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup flax seeds (4 Tbsp) (optional for texture)
1 large bell pepper, diced
1 large zucchini, grated on cheese grater (it will turn into mush, don't worry, that’s what you want)
1 pkg meatloaf seasoning (find one with NO sugar, corn syrup or cornstarch)
OR use black pepper, horseradish mustard & garlic to taste
Combine all ingredients, reserving one tablespoon of the meatloaf seasoning.
It’s easiest just to knead it all together like bread dough. Messy but effective.
Press into greased muffin pans. Sprinkle remaining seasoning on top.
Bake at 400 for 1 hour.

I have a great tasting, super easy, crustless quiche recipe that isn't too high in cals either if you use veggies (about 200-250 per serving)

1 tub of fat free/low fat cottage cheese
4 eggs
assorted veggies (whatever is in season or you like)

Grease a quiche dish, chop veggies and put in bottom of dish. Mix eggs and cottage cheese in bowl and pour over top of veggies. sliced tomatoe on the top, and a little grated cheddar if you like. Bake in the oven on 180 for about 40 mins. Typically this makes enough for 4 servings if you have it with some salad or something.
