    Hard-boiled egg whites. Quick and easy if you make them ahead of time and stock them in your fridge.

    These from Joyful Abode -- 100 calories and 9g of protein. I made some this morning -- a 1/4 cup of shaved Parmesan and a little bit of garlic and onion powder and 6 minutes in the oven -- delicious. Quick and easy to make but you can store them for later too if you need an even quicker snack.

    ETA:
    I completely missed your low fat requirement. These have 7g of fat so I don't think they qualify? Sorry!

    nuts are a good source of fat, protein...not so much.,

    Yea, I use PB when my fat percentages are on the low side.

    Low fat string cheese and greek yogurt come to my mind. Also sliced ham or turkey if you don't mind the sodium.

    Dee - you read my mind!!! :D

    You could try making a protein brownie with your protein powder.

    I've been eating them over this last week and they're pretty damn good.

    *drools* I like where you're going with that! browniesssssss!

    Personally I add a teaspoon of sugar and microwave it for 25 seconds. Then I just eat it with a spoon out of the bowl. It's a little more moist that way, and I prefer moist ;).

    Chicken boobs! Or tenders. I like cold chicken, so if you marinate, bake, then chill, you can get quick protein from the fridge!
    yep^^^

    And edamame beans, either in the shell or out. These are soy beans, after all.

    Lentils: The french puy lentils boiled for 20-35 minutes (until al dente) with garlic and thyne. Dress with lemon joice. Drizzle with some olive oil if you can afford the calories.

    Lentil soup: A low fat lentil soup consisting of a handful of split orange lentils with a chopped onion and a chopped tomato in a pint of water. Again, if you can afford the calories, fry the onion with a clove of garlic in olive oil before adding water and the other ingredients.

    thank you for asking, and to those who answered. I was just looking over the past couple of weeks, and noticed my protein isn't high enough.

    I grab those tuna sensation things as a standard- I like the garlic and herb one best, but just a lot of sodium in one pouch. The lemon pepper is better though! I didn't think of putting the two together on my own. :laugh:
