    Eggs, Greek Yogurt w/o fruit already mixed in, steak salad (even a small 3oz one is good).

    Peanut Butter if you can get the PB2 as its much lower in calories, and good old fashioned milk, the less fat and sugar the less the calories yet still with a good amount of protein.

    If you also like to premake snakes you could make your own protein truffles, protein oatmeal balls/cookies, proats (protein powder and oatmeal), Greek Yogurt with chocolate or vanilla protein powder and some fresh fibrous fruits like raspberries.

    Lots of different options depending on what you like and how far you are willing to go to prepare it.

    Sainsburys do a range of flavoured chicken breast slice (160g packs) - 3 for £6.

    Typically around 210 calories and 40g of protein.

    I agree with the tuna and chicken breast.


    Chicken breast I cook 5-6 at once with a bit of seasoning and then just keep in in my fridge to eat whenever. Cut it up, mix in a bit of salad dressing, or slice it and dip it in BBQ sauce, or eat it plain

    100cals worth of chicken breast will get you around 24g protein, but it depends on if you can get chicken breast at a good price.

    Tuna is usually pretty cheap, and even the ones that are flavoured (I love the sweet thai chili one) still have a pretty low calorie count for the amount of protein you get.
