    EAS protein shakes are a good choice, without having too many carbs or calories, (if you get the carb control ones).

    What your protein and I can tell you this; the nutrient counts in the database aren't right most of the time even tho the calories are (I check these out). Protein wise...watch your meats. 3oz for dinner, 1 oz all other meals. Easy meals...watch the sodium. My weight stalled and I quit the easy meals and ate fresh food and it started falling again right away. I try to keep easy meals down to 1 a day (usually lunch).

    I travel quite a bit for work (most of the time). I've gone to 40-30-30. I'm consistently not hitting my protein level and worry about it. Even though I'm only doing bodyweight strength training, i am doing it.

    Most of my snacks are either cheese or fruit or veggies. I need your best easy and fast protein ideas. Thanks!

    1 cup of Chobani nonfat, plain greek yogurt has 23 or 24 grams of protein and is delicious with a drizzle of honey. HTH

    This one is easy for me to answer :)

    I mix a whole can of tuna in spring water with 1tsp mayo, then add in some chopped cherry tomatoes, dash or sriracha and maybe some spring onions if I've got any.

    Super high protein snack and low in fat and carbs... not to mention really yummy!

    Cottage cheese is my new friend but I also eat herring in paprika sauce, wrap string cheese in a slice of turkey or chicken deli sandwich meat, chopped chicken breast on a mission carb balance tortilla or a good ole protein shake.
