I truly struggle hitting my protein goals on a daily basis. Right now my goal is around 30% protein. I take a protein shake once a day, but really struggle with what to bring to work to eat. My daily lunch is 4 or less oz chicken breast with broccoli and rice. What other protein type snacks do all of you eat?

    Egg whites! All the time! I love them! I add salsa, or just pepper.

    Hard boiled eggs are easy too.

    Turkey pepperoni (watch the additives!), sliced turkey or chicken, tuna, I eat all of these as snacks too.

    Once you get used to lots of protein, you will find you have no problem getting it in, because your body will hate you if you don't :P

    Whey protein - whey protein shakes - protein bars. Use your whey protein to make your own bars/muffins to save money!

    Fat free Greek yoghurt
    Tuna or any Fish
    Lean meats/Tofu/Soy
    Nuts
    Low fat Milk

    Some types of plain yogurt (greek yogurt, fromage frais) are high in protein and taste great with a tsp of honey!

    Same goes for "quark" fat free soft cheese - use it as a yogurt substitute all the time.

    Beef jerky or ready made chicken strips are a good on the go snack but are not "clean" as they have been processed to make them convenience foods. Not caused me any problems though.

    Again as others have said whey protein, you can bake some delicious goods using them - look up whey protein recipes you will find some great things. Good luck!
