I need more protein in my diet for how much lifting I do. What are your favorite easy on the go protein packed foods?!

Lifting doesn't call on protein for energy - it's anaerobic. It needs glycogen because you are stressing the muscles in a short period of time. Protein is the last thing used by the body for fuel. After carbohydrates and fat.0

See.. I did not know that! Thank you for informing me0

If you are lifting weight, then it means you want to build some muscle for more calorie burn and better body shape. To repair the muscle breakdown from the liftings you did, you need protein. Take 1 gram of protein for each lbs of your body weight, the rest of your daily calories can come from fat and carbs.
Tuna, chicken breast, ground turkey are all good protein sources just to name a few. If you don't have time to prepare, you can also try whey protein powder shakes.0 -
cheese strings,mini babybel,mini pepperamis are my on-the-go protein snacks.
during longer workouts i also take a protein shake into gym with me.0 -

if you need to supplement then like already said whey protein, also might consider casein protein before you go to bed. a much slower absorbing protein0

The body calls on protein for lifting for repairing muscle! If it cannot breakdown protein for this the body will cannibalize lean mass instead!
Also unless you have any pre-existing kidney issue, it's very hard to overdo the protein, however 0.8 - 1g of protein per 1lb of lean mass, should be more than enough. in your diet.

I grill 10 + lbs of chicken a week. Easy sandwich. Easy fajitas. Beef jerky.0

Grab and go -- turkey jerkey, mini-babybel lights, turkey lunchmeat, Swiss cheese slices and roasted, salted edamame.
If you have gluten issues this won't work, but I'm getting hooked on seitan for meals as a good source of protein.0 -

I have to say, I saw that and almost laughed. That means a lot for 6am...
Since it's legal in WA, I wonder if it can be used as a weight loss drug now. There has to be a way to isolate the mental state modification, and then pair with a hunger signal nullifier like ephedra.0 -
What about non-dairy sources? I
