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.

    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!

    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.
