I'm looking for low calorie, high protein snack ideas. I always tend to get hungry in the afternoons before my Insanity workouts, but I don't have a lot of calories to spare most days. I've been eating Kashi Peanut Peanut Butter granola bars, but they're 140 calories and I'd really like something around or under 100 calories. It also needs to be something that I can easily bring to work with me or keep at work. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Almonds! They haven't got an extreme level of protein in them, but a decent amount. And at the right portion size the calories will drop to under 100

    string cheese (there any many varieties that are only 50cal. like weight watchers)
    Greek Yogurt, I like Chobani (130 cal. for the flavored kind, 100 for the plain)
    boiled egg (only 70)
    12-14 Almonds (80 cal.)

    I pair these with a vegetable, the almonds with some fruit. These are my favorites. I would like to see what other people do too.
