    I live on fruit, but nuts are also low carb and good protein. I love pistachios but they are a little high in calories. I know almonds are lower, but I'm allergic to those!

    edamame - for some reason hot foods are more filling to me. Take two handfulls and boil for about 7 minutes. drain and salt. Two hand fulls are equal to a little less than a half cup of beans (the edible part of edamame

    some of these might be repeats, but here you go!

    - hard boiled eggs
    - peppers or carrots with hummus
    - tuna on a few ryvita crisps
    - peanut butter and celery
    - protein powder with 1/2 c. almond or soy milk (toss it in the blender with some ice cubes and a 1/2 c. of water and it's ohhh so tasty)
    - greek yogurt
    - cottage cheese
    - protein pancakes (http://www.oxygenmag.com/recipe.php?id=238)
    - almonds or pistachios
    - guacamole with veggies
    - ham, egg and spinach breakfast cups - I make these ahead of time and keep them in the freezer... SO GOOD! 100 calories, 21 grams protein, 6 grams carbs, 6 grams fat(http://www.porkbeinspired.com/RecipeDetail/2155/Egg,_Spinach_and_Ham_Cups_.aspx)

    Hope this helps!! :)
