higher protein snacks

I usually have cold meat or low fat cheese! Also fish like tuna... they are not quite crisps and chcolates, but they fill me up and a lot of companys do snack sizes of most of these!! Babybel light, fridge raiders... all lovely and convinient to eat!

Here is a recipe I modified that is easy to make. It stays well in the fridge for up to 6 days or can be frozen. If frozen, put them in the fridge overnight before eating. I got it from oxygenmag.com. I put 2 today on a ziplog bag and just finished eating it. They are delish.

Clean Eggs, Ham and Cheese Muffins
Servings: 12 (medium sized muffin pan)


Nutrition:
Calories: 82
Carbs: 2
Fat: 3
Protein: 11


14 Egg Whites
4 Whole Eggs
4 Oz Canadian Bacon
1.5 Oz Cheese (I used Merlot Bellavitano Cheese , your calories per serving might be a bit lower with a low cal cheese)
4 Oz pepper (I used red and yellow)
1 Stock Green Onion
0.5 tsp dried Oregano
Dash of Salt and Pepper
Oil Spray
Recipe also calls for shredded carrots, zucchini, and parsley but I didn't have any.

Preheat oven to 375
Dice / Chop vegetables, canadian bacon, cheese and mix in a bowl
Mix Eggs with egg whites
Spray muffin pan with oil spray
Add a bit of the egg mixture to the muffin pan
Add the ham/cheese/vegetable mix to the muffin pan. I used a spoon and eye balled the proportion.
Fill the rest with the egg mixture (recipe says to fill all the way, I did this and it spilled over so you might want to fill it to a tad below the top.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the muffins raise and are slighlty golden on top.

I love these, Ostrim Beef/Ostrich meat sticks. Not too much sodium, lean and about 1.5g of fat with 80 calories, 14g protein and 2 carbs. Tastes similar to slim jims but vastly better. The same company, Protos, inc. sells alot of healthy meat snacks that aren't stuffed full of chemicals other than those needed to preserve meat.

I am trying to increase my protein intake without adding to my carb intake. Anyone have any good suggestions for foods that are higher in protein and have little to no carbs?
