    what are your favorite high protein snacks?

    edited March 3 in Food and Nutrition
    I'm looking for some high protein, lower fat options for snacks. I love flavored almonds but the calories add up quickly as does the fat. Anyone have a high protein snack they love that won't make too much of a dent in the calorie/fat budget?

      Grilled chicken breast. Tons of protein, very little fat. Low-fat string cheese, mini babybel light cheese. Beef/turkey jerky.

      Edamame. Can buy individual packets, keep in freezer and zap in microwave. I buy them in the pod, so it even takes longer to eat and seems to make more satisfying...sprinkle with just a bit of sea salt.

      Is that only sold in the UK? Was doing a search online and only seeing it on UK sites...unless I am overlooking it on other sites.

      OMG Peanuts in the shell are my favorite, pistachios, any kind of nuts are good sure they add calories but I always have plenty left over from working out so I don't worry about that, you just have to make allowances for them, and as far as the fat it's what they call good fat so no worries again.

      Primal strips and vegan protein shakes.

      I came to the forums to ask the very same thing the other day :) - Under the "search" feature if you put in your question, you can find some great ideas from other MFP members that were wondering the same thing - it seems to be asked often! Lol

      Greek yogurt.

      Boiled eggs.

      Balance bars (they are with the Power Bars, etc ... I like the Balance brand because they have a nice balance of macros C/P/F is 40/30/30, so a 200 calorie bar tends to have around 15g protein. They also taste better than most bars, IMO)

      A can of no-salt-added tuna over a bed of greens, sprinkled with lemon juice and red pepper flakes. I know it sounds austere, but I like it!

      Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll do a search to find other threads on this, too.

      yes, greek yogurt with frozen wild blueberries and cinnamon is prob my fave! and this is weird but turkey + cheese rolled up and dipped in mustard. i'm vegetarian so i use light life or Yves veggie deli meats.
      also love almond milk cheese sticks with apple slices.

      4oz serving of chicken breast
      1oz of string cheese
      Or
      12 almonds
      Since I grill my chicken in 5lb batches and always have it ready , I usually go with the chicken because it is convient and filling.

      My go-to's are:

      - veggies with hummus
      - steamed edamame with a sprinkle of sea salt
      - roasted chickpeas (I usually make either honey roasted or spicy cayenne and lime)

      I like to roll up deli meat with a pickle and a little mustard. Super low calories, nice protein punch, and very tasty.
