I eat string cheese and jerky. I also like the oscar Mayer p3 protein packs and some protein bars. What other high protein snack type foods do people like?

    I eat Skyr Yogurt 110 cals and 21g protein for the plain. I add splenda to it and smash some raspberries in, done. If I need fat for the day I'll add hemp hearts which also add protein but not sure on how calorie dense you wish this snack to be lol

    Greek sugar free yogurt, cottage cheese, and good quality protein bars

    Low fat greek yogurt (Danon Fit and Light versions come to mind), Whey protein shakes, whey protein bars, jerky (lots of sodium in that), eggs, low fat cottage cheese), turkey, chicken, lean pork, etc.

    @Spliner1969 well I'm not going to be snacking on turkey chicken and pork, haha. I also eat light and fit yogurt for breakfast daily, so for me I wouldn't add it as a snack, but it is a great find.

    @bruhaha007 you know, I can't get with the texture of cottage cheese, just can't do it. And I already do protein bars, too

    I also do meal replacement shakes every day and straight protein shakes after workouts. I get between 80 to 100 grams of protein per day with these alone.

    @bruhaha007 I'm not necessarily looking for ways to get more protein, I get at least 180g a day, so I'm ok in that area. I'm just looking for snack food choices other than the ones I listed because I'm tired of eating the same things

    I've never heard of Skyr Yogurt. Do you find it at regular grocery stores?

    Some of my favorites:

    Boiled eggs. (I mostly eat the egg whites and share the yolks with my dogs.)
    String cheese.
    Celery with peanut butter or laughing cow cheese.
    Corn thins with peanut butter or laughing cow cheese.
    Hummus with veggies.
    Quark (when I can find it).
    Protein power cheesecake. (Discovered on MFP forums)
    Pickle roll-ups (thinly sliced lunchmeat, a little cream cheese & wrapped around a pickle). Yum!

    I'm not a huge fan of protein bars. They tend to have a lot of calories and don't really make me feel all that satisfied. I'll eat them in a pinch, but I prefer more substantial snacks.

    plain greek yogurt or skyr with cheese powder (I like King Arthur Flour's Vermont cheddar powder)

    plain greek yogurt or Skyr with plain unsweetened (baking) cocoa and partially defatted peanut powder (like PB2, although I prefer Protein Plus peanut flour, which doesn't have added salt or sugar, so it's more versatile, depending on whether I want to use it in a sweet or savory dish)

    eggs

    cottage cheese with fresh or dried herbs (e.g., thyme)
