Hi,
I'm just curious if there's any 'snackage' food, that'll be low in cals but high in protein. I never seem to be getting enough of the protein! Thanks in advance ♥

Beef Jerky (watch the sodium), greek yogurt, cheese sticks, etc0

Crab sticks (16 cals per stick), turkey salami zapped to a crisp in the microwave (30 cals per slice).0

This is the holy grail! I have just started to add a very natural protein powder to my diet for this reason, but it would be considered medium range 'cal-heavy' (208 calories per 50 gram serve). For this reason I only have half a serve per day, however I have found this still increases my protein levels to where it should be. If I have the calorie budget left at the end of the day I will have the other half of the serve.0

Smoked salmon is so low in calories! Pack lots of it onto cracker or something or make a little salad with it0

Greek yogurt in general. Plain mixed with 1 scoop protein powder per 1/2 cup yogurt. Only 200 calories with chobani 2% plain and Body Logix Strawberry Banana Burst protein powder. (35 grams protein)0

A good protein shake is best. I use Epic protein with a cup of water some ice, stevia and strawberries. 2 scoops of Epic gives you 38 gms of protein0

I didn't realise smoked salmon was so low calorie. I'm now having some for my dinner later instead of low fat cheese as there's much more protein for the same calories.
Thanks for this tip. :flowerforyou:0 -

I like Boar's Head No Salt Added Turkey -- you can get it sliced to order at the deli counter at Kroger and similar type grocery stores. 70 calories, 15 g protein, 55 mg sodium in a 2 oz. serving.0
