I am glad you asked. I cook 4 cups of dried red beans. Then I blend it with oregano and chili powder and freeze it in 1/2 cup portions in sandwich bags. Then I put wasa crackers and the beans in a platic container and off I go. This keeps your digestive system going also, and does not spill.0

Nuts (I like almonds), protien shake, & Greek yogurt!0

starkis tuna packet.. they have several different flavors, and each packet usually has around 30g protein or more.. very easy0

Which brand of greek yogurt do you buy?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).
good to know! I love beef jerky! Ok good I am going to get some because besides whey protein that's what I was going to say!0 -
Pure Protein bars are my go-to. They're 180 calories, 20 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar.
Muscle Milk or Muscle Milk Light are also really good. The light is 160 calories, 20 grams of protein 0 grams of sugar. The regular are 220 calories, 25 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar.
Both are perfect to guzzle down right after a work out!0 -
Chobani greek 0%, 140 cal, 14 g protein. yum!0
-
Boars Head sliced turkey. Best tasting deli turkey that I've found. Roll them up and take them with you0

eat good feel great brand protein bars from costco, costco muscle milk chocolate whey protein powder and costco salmon patties.
The costco salmon patties I defrost them in the microwave and then cook them in there too. So all take min prep, and although the whey protein and protein bar are sweet the salmon patty I can make it a bit salty or sour by adding what ever side or garnish I want.0 -
Canned Chicken, low calories, almost no fat, and tons of protein. It even tastes good to me to.0

I carry a can of tuna with me most of the time. And if I'm going some place with a fridge, a portion of grilled chicken and boiled eggs. Otherwise protein powder usually does the trick.0

I like Fage Greek yogurt - 1 cup = 24g protein and 130 calories
As mentioned, cottage cheese is also good, 1/2 cup = 12 g protein and 100 calories.
Almonds are good, but high in calories.
I'd do something like this:
Egg + egg white, canadian bacon, 1/2 cup greek yogurt, berries - breakfast
1/2 oz almonds, string cheese - snack
3 oz chicken, cheddar cheese, quiona. black olives, tomato, wrap - lunch
yogurt (ie blueberry flavor, 6 oz) - snack
3 oz salmon (braised with dill, baby potatoes, sour cream or greek yogurt), veggies, milk - supper
That should give you quite a bit and a sample of what to eat for high protein... also, keep in mind that you should have ~ 10% of your daily calories being protein (ie, no less than 40 g for a woman).0 -

really good info too- especially the muscle milk- I need a post skate protein- I cant eat before I skate (it WILL come back up) and I really need something afterwards bc I am buring alot of cals and need something decent to put back in me. I'll pick up someof these bad boys.. Thank you0 -
egg whites are pure protein with almost no calories. I'll fry them up, or pour them raw into a smoothie. I also like Chobani Greek Yogurt. It's a little high in sugar, but it's also high in protein. Finally, soybeans--I mix them into salads, spaghetti sauce, rice dishes. There's very little taste but the nutrition is significant.0
