Protein Snacks

You should really incorporate some carbohydrates into your breakfast to help you feel full all day. I recommend a high fiber cereal like Kashi Autumn Wheat or whatever floats your boat.

Edit: oops! Just now saw you were doing a low carb diet. No tips from me then.

1. NF plain greek yogurt w/blueberries, etc. (Fage Total 0%, Chobani brands)
2. NF String Cheese
3. warm skim milk w/cocoa powder (unsweetend) - this is my fav
4. Cucumber slices/Dip
6. Soups ?

10 lbs in 4 weeks is not impossible using calorie reduction. Low to no protein can lose you 20 to 25 lbs in a month, but only after the 4 day phase in.
If you really want to go that route bump the post or let me know and I'll give you the rules. I did that once and had to fight back to lose the 60 lbs out of 75 that I gained back. A low / 0 carb diet is almost not sustainable in the long run and when you go off that diet you WILL gain back the weight. That is just unhealthy, yes I'm a born again thin person so I feel pretty strongly about this. You can lose the weight without doing goofy things.
In your situation (only 10 lbs to lose) I would set your goal to 2 lbs a week and start working out like crazy. Eat clean foods (no red meat) like fish and chicken, keep the bread, breading, crap carbs to a minimum. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, brown rice, try to avoid pasta and if you have to have some make it whole wheat, 12 grain bread, no white or "commercial wheat" like Home Pride, no refined sugar.
Eat a bunch of fiber to fill you, nuts are good as are beans. You can do it.

But if you must, let us know and we'll give you no carb info.

Almonds are a good source of protein for snacking and if you eat slowly you should feel full. I measure out 1 ounce portions and that is my 10am and my 3pm snack. Sometimes I'll add a half a grapefruit which doesn't have the protein but seems to help control my hunger. If you google "protein content of foods" you can find a free printable list that should give you PLENTY of ideas for boosting your protein intake throughout the day. Good luck!

You are definitely not eating enough. My boyfriend does a low carb/high protein diet, and he'd recommend that you eat five/six small meals a day, not just the two you've described. I'd recommend eating more for breakfast, like 4-5 scrambled egg whites (and if you'd like, throw one yolk in there for good measure) and a half cup of steel-cut oats. This will definitely sustain you for longer than a protein shake will. Do the protein shake as a mid morning snack; the tuna with a salad filled with lots of veggies for lunch; fruit and/or a greek yogurt for mid-afternoon snack; and a lean protein like fish or boneless/skinless chicken breast with a couple of sides of non-starchy vegetables.

This is just a sample menu, and I'd suggest doing more research for what fits your dietary tastes and goals. But definitely eat more if you're only eating twice in a day before dinner. Hope this helps!

This is an excellent menu (especially breakfast - should be the biggest meal of the day!) and I agree (I too am trying to keep my carbs lower and up the protein. It's certainly not easy. I don't cut them out all together but I take a serious New York Minute to evaluate what I'm choosing and if there are other options.
I have been eating the 1 egg and steel cut oats for breakfast all this week (but might opt to make my mix for the week using 1-2 eggs and the rest whites as the cholesterol throws me off with the other proteins I'm eating) along with a slice of Ezekiel 4:9 bread and either peanut butter (1TBSP or 1/2 serving) or yogurt cheese (like cream cheese without the fat and cals) but aside from the cholesterol thing, I'm full until well past my normal am snack time. I try to eat every 2-3 hours. If I'm really hungry in the morning, I'll grab the toast on the way out the door and that will hold me until 8-8:30 after I have my coffee.

Another filling toast for breakfast (and you can use low carb breads or cut a slice in half (through the thickness making 2 slices out of one)) is 2 slices of a whole wheat or multi grain toast, 1 tbsp pb for each slice, 1/2 medium banana and 1TBSP wheat germ. I mix the banana and germ together then put on top of the peanut butter. Savory and sweet at the same time w/protein and complex carbs. If I eat 2 slices of this I can usually skip my morning snack without shakes or hunger (I'm hypoglycemic).

Nuts are a really good snack to eat inbetween meals

I'm a vegetarian for about a month now, and I've been looking for some good protein sources as well. My absolute favorite snacks/foods are FiberOne bars, cereals, Luna bars (but be careful with those, they're not just a snack, much more filling), and Kashi cereal. Nuts are a good source, too. Also, you can look at the fact that you're probably hungry because you're not getting enough complex carbohydrates. Getting rid of simple carbs is fine, but it's not the best idea to just completely limit all carbs. Whole wheat bread, brown rice, and cereals like Kashi are all fantastic sources of complex carbs that provide tons of nutrients for your body, helping your digestive system, and not causing weight gain. Good luck!
