CHEESE! I love swiss. Eggs, are low carb too. Nuts are high carb (at least the ones I have are). Larabars... My Nature's Edge chocolate whey protein powder is very high protein, low carb too.

Low fat cheese. I really like the Kraft 2% hormone-free line. Lots of veggies like broccoli and spinach have protein, plus fiber as an added bonus. (Usable carb = total carb - fiber)

Oh, another high protein, low carb source: MEAT!

I keep the vacuum packed wild alaskan salmon around. It lasts a long time at room temp. and is only 120 calories...21 g. protein, 1 g. carbs, 3.5 g. fat, and full of omega-3s. I think it's a great emergency snack to keep on hand, just watch the sodium (490 mg.).

Watch out for the fat and sodium in cheese. I'd suggest yogurt. Similarly, lots of saturated fat in red meats. Try boneless skinless chicken or turkey, and of course fish -- cooking yourself is better than high-sodium canned stuff.
