I am not getting enough protein-and need to up that- with things that can be eaten on the go and w limited prep. I have been trying to find things- and so far low fat string cheese from whole foods seems to be an easy one.. but need more.
Thanks

I have the same problem
I recently bought a protein shake powder that's not bad.. good for making smoothies with!
almonds/other nuts are good protein as well. & I've heard quinoa actually has a fair amount of protein, though I haven't tried it yet.
another trick I did for a while was to just have stuff on hand (baked chicken breasts, etc) frozen in the freezer. by overnight it can thaw in the fridge so I can just take it with me and heat it up or mix it with other stuff for a quick meal.
good luck !0 -
Hard boiled eggs. In my opinion, not the tastiest thing on the planet, but they are protein-packed!0

Look into a protein powder. Trutein Cinnabun is wonderful tasting, Myofusion Chocolate Peantbutter is good, XF Cinnabun is a sweet tasting great powder as well. All are high in protein and low on carbs. Trutein is hands down my favorite.0 -
Almonds. Simple, preportioned,healthy fat. In a pinch I will eat a Pure Fit nutrition bar. But I am not a huge fan of protein bars. My new favorite really lowfat snack is a cut up tomato with salt and a breakstones 2% cottage cheese single serving.0

Greek yogurt is a great source of protein- just be careful which brand you choose. Keep an eye on sugar and calories. Also, tuna is a super easy food to keep on hand. It's cheap, stores well and is a great source of protein. I get the pouches- add a hardboiled egg and you're really set!
I also agree with hard boiled eggs, string cheese, almonds and chicken.0 -

Trader Joe's beef jerkey. I keep it in my desk for my 4 pm pre-gym protein snack. Lowest sodium beef jerkey that I've found, so far (and it tastes good).0

You can mix protein powder into plain greek yogurt to really amp up the protein (and flavor) without adding a bunch of sugar. It will fill you up like crazy. I put half a scoop of protein powder in a 6oz cup of greek yogurt and it's like 30g of protein for under 200 calories.0
