    I like to snack on jerky a 1 oz serving is about 80 cal and 15gms of protein. Just watch the added ingredients like sugar and salt.

    I like Organic Pearl Farro, it's a grain. Kind of a cross between brown rice and barley. 7 gms of protein for a 170 cal serving, plus 5 grams of fiber! I mix with chicken, beef, turkey, etc for an awesome lunch!

    Yeah mmm jerky is a great indulgence that keeps protein up. But you have to think of it like an indulgence because of all that salt and nitrites. Careful you don't eat the whole bag like I usually wind up doing :)
