Hi there,

My diet has been lacking in protein and maybe some of you can relate. This forum can be used to list any protein-packed food that has been working for people!

One set back for me, is I am always on-the-go, so I depend on protein shakes and bars. Any suggestions for protein-packed to-go meals?

    I don't see nuts mentioned yet. Or edamame seed pods. Cottage cheese and yogurt can be got in single serving sizes that are easily portable.

    Almost any time I bake or make a recipe I try to sneak plain flavored whey protein powder or chia seeds in. Examples: breakfast cookies, waffle mix, other baked goods or prepped food. I also add it to my Greek yogurt on days when I'm really behind on the protein. I have Bob's Red Mill brand - it mixes well, can't notice it, serving size 1/4 cup, 80 calories, 16g protein.

    Beef jerky, although it's an expensive snack!

    Cottage cheese

    Cans of chicken or tuna are an easy and cheap way to get protein in. Once I mashed up some avocado and mixed it with a can of chicken and ate that. Could eat it with crackers or on bread, too.
