Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a snack that is high in protein and low in fat, any suggestions?

    Jerkey.

    Quest bar.

    low fat greek yogurt.

    Annnd that's all I got because I actually eat a fair amount of fat.

    Cottage cheese with strawberries. Although like Dalako, I go for the fat, so I get the full fat variety.

    Mine is the P3 pack when I am lazy (which is more often then I like to admit) or my own mix of nuts, meat and/or real cheese. But as above, I don't mind the fat so much.

    Fat is delicious, but high protein low fat, as posted above, quest bars and jerky, I also like tuna fish.

    Out of curiosity, why low in fat?

    Rigger, I tend to get a lot of fat from other items I eat so I'm just looking for something that would give me more protein and not have extremely high levels of fat.

    I always thought I hated cottage cheese, like my whole life I just knew it was disgusting...and then I had full fat cottage cheese and my life changed.

    I don't know why people were feeding me reduced fat cottage cheese my whole life but they were wrong. So wrong.

    After a workout, I go with a can of tuna with a splash of tobasco. I get the costco cans of tuna, which are larger than your average can. They have 180 calories and 45 grams of protein
