Hi all, I'm sure this has been posted before but am wanting to start carb cycling (just bought the chris Powell book). It looks pretty good and I'm relatively sorted on what I can eat at meal times, but am completely stuck when it comes to snacks! Could anyone suggest some protein snacks? Carbs seem to be relatively easy :)

Thanks so much x

  • Peanut butter is a fantastic high protein, low carb snack. Watch your serving size if you are counting fat, as it is a full-fat food.
    String cheese, I go for the full fat, not the light or low cal.
    Edemame is a great snack, high protein, low carb. I buy it frozen, steam it in the microwave then put a little salt on it.
    sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds, or chia seeds, or flax seeds with some berries or fruit and coconut milk. It takes a bit to get used to, but it will keep you full.
    Cottage cheese.


    Hope this helps.
