Any other suggestions for HIGH protein, low carb snacks

  I go back to work on March 31 - I stretched my time off as long as I could - but I fear I am going back looking the same as I left!  I have been on a stall for a few weeks now and although I am down nearly 20lbs, you can't see it !!   I can't wait for the real weight to start coming off!!  I am working out everyday, keeping up with all my fluid - at least 2000ml (2litres)a day - and at least 60-80grams of protein a day.  I am keeping my carbs as low as I can.  I am cycling everyday - 13miles is my average a day (stationary bike - various up hill, and resistances) and I have now started to add free weights - (only 5lbs) for my arms- biceps and triceps.  It sure is hard to be optimistic doing all this work without seeing any movement on the scales! Just trying to stay away from the scale.  I need some HIGH PROTEIN, LOW CARB, LOW FAT snacks for work.

Cheese triangles and fish sticks are handy snacks.

Almonds, sunflower seeds, beef jerky...

mozzarella sticks wrapped in deli turkey or ham, turkey pepperoni, jerky, hardboiled eggs, fat free greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, baby bell cheese, left over protein from other meals, tuna or salmon pouches, low or nonfat ricotta with some sugarfree fruit spread

You are just about a month out and down 20lbs.  Congrats.  You talk about "real weight?" wow, that is real weight.  It will slow down some from here on.  You are a light weight and you just aren't going to lose like our heavier friends.  Think about % of excess weight, not pounds. 

Sounds like your exercise is good and your fluid.  I would suggest getting your protein more to around 100, then up from there as you can.  At a month, I was still on 1/4c a meal and just starting real food.  Most of my protein came from shakes.

As I could these were my standbys.  The pizza chips are still my snack and quick meal and are good at room temp if I am traveling.

pizza chips - I use a cup of beef or sausage TVP and a cup of warm water, rehydrate for about an hour then drain.  Mix with 2 bags of shredded cheese (I like italian and cheddar) and a handful of turkey pepperoni cut into small pieces, a bunch of italitan herbs, garlic and onion powder, mix well.  Drop a large spoonful (about 1/4c) on to parchment paper spread out like cookies on a sheet, bake until cheese is melted, bubbley and golden around the edges.  You will figure out how done you like them.

greek yogurt with a scoop of protein

SF pudding with a scoop of protein

2 T of peanut butter, melted, add a scoop of protein and a dash of SF syurp if you need more liquid.  Eat warm or stick it in the freezer.  Taste like the middle of a protein bar.

You have lots of great food ideas here already, so I will just reiterate that 20 in the first 6 weeks for a lightweight (like you :) is great.   YOU may not see it, but your co workers probably will!

PS  IMO low fat is not necessary, just makes low carb hard to follow.

Ha, I just wanted to share with you that I am almost a month out and I too have lost "only 24" pounds 10 of which were pre-surgery and I'm feeling down about it too.  I too and working out every day . I knew to expect the stall but my weight keeps inching up...I hope maybe it's just part of the early process and we'll feel much better about things in a few more months.  Hang in there!
