Just wondering what sort of protein snacks I can buy in for during the day?

I know there is trail mix, anything else?

    I buy slices of thinly cooked ham, spoon in some soft cheese and roll them up. Very yummy :)

    Oh, and hard boiled eggs :) I sometimes also make a crustless quiche and throw lots of veggies and some cheese on top, then I slice in to 6 portions and have one portion as a snack.

    Humous or cottage cheese with veg sticks. Nuts, 0 % fat Greek yogurt, apple and peanut butter.

    I agree with hard boiled eggs. I recently found a bag of pumpkin seeds at the grocery store that have 18 grams of protein in 1/4 cup. They are a little high calorie but great protein!! And good for you!!
    Milk too!!

    The pumpkin seeds would be great as I need to up my calories on workout days anyway. I will be taking a trip to the shops later :)

    I love whole natural almonds with no salt. I weigh out 1oz on my digital scale and munch away. Another favorite is greek yogurt. My favorite brands are Chobani and Oikos!

    protein shakes. 50-80 cents per serving. meal replacement on the go.

    other than that, there are carb conscious protein bars.

    food products: yves meatless hotdogs, soy baloney, or can of tuna

    Hard boiled eggs
    Greek yogurt
    Nuts
    The occasional protein bar

    I also occasionally make homemade chicken nuggets and snack on them cold at my desk. Prawns are good too but perhaps not that ideal for the office!

    quite a lot of high carb and high fat suggestions here. You're looking for protein though , right?

    Good fats though. If it is purely a source of protein without any carb or fat then your talking plain chicken, canned tuna, white fish. Not something i would enjoy daily as a snack, especially if I have those kind of meats for dinner too. But that's just me.

    - All of the supermarkets tend to have ready to eat chicken in a number of flavours
    - low fat cottage cheese with a teaspoon of honey
    - tuna from a can, preferably heated with a tomato sauce base / spoon of ketchup
    - eggs any which way, one full and a few only egg whites
    - protein shake
    - turkey ham

    Soy yogurt! I like them better than the plain dairy ones because they're not as sour (at least I think the plain ones taste kinda sour haha).

    Do they have more sugar in them?
