Question:
Seeking High Protein Snack Ideas
I am looking for snack ideas. I find I need something mid-morning and mid-afternoon. I am tired of peanut butter crackers. Anyone have any great ideas for something that will fill me up (protein) and hold me over until meal time? — Karen B. (posted on March 27, 2003)

Sardines and low-fat crackers, Or how about the Ol'Beef Jerky it's
filling......
I'm trying to rid myself of the carbs as much as I can.
Good luck,

Turkey jerky; turkey pepperoni; cheese cubes; protein cookies
(wlssuccess.com or protocookie.com); tuna with low-fat mayo & cherry
tomatos; turkey bologna or regular turkey, rolled up with cheese; fresh
mozarella with tomatos.

I love soynuts! They have flavors ranging from unsalted to honey nut. Very
filling and high in protein.

YOu can also go to keto foods. I think they have protein rich chips, etc.
Lo carb too. I've never tried them though. How about string cheese, it's
high in protein and low in carbs. Thin sliced deli meats could help too.
Cottage cheese is a good source of protein too, if you like it (I do). They
have the little snack size ones too. Good luck to you.

I like, Genisoy soy crisps, cashews, almonds, sport cookies and individual
soups - especially bean, but the cup o soups will tie me over till lunch
and are a good switch from water on the fluid intake! I also love cheese
and liverwurst, detour bar, yogurt and deli meat.

hiya! i always carry a baggie filled with raw, unsalted nuts (walnuts,
almonds, filberts, cashews, pepitas, pecans, brazil nuts) mixed with dried
fruit (apples, peaches, raisins)...the fats in the nuts is a
"good" fat especially since they are not roasted or salted. the
sugars in the dried fruits is a "natural" sugar and it doesn't
bother me. its filling and convenient. i love green apple with peanut
butter. i also like string cheese and cottage cheese. you can make a yummy
"salad" of cherry tomatos, mozzarella cheese, olives &
artichoke hearts in italian dressing; i also always carry a protein bar
with me (i am very finicky about my bars and the only one i really like is
called: "Think Thin! Low Carb Diet" i get it at Trader Joe's) i
also like chicharones (yes pork skins), they have 9 g of protein with 5 g
of fat...
hope this helps some
good luck!

I like Jack Links Beef Jerky (Walmart) and different types of cheese's
(HellOfAGood?) has a package of cheese curds (I call them "turds"
lol) that are fabulous! I think a whole package of them has around 42 grams
of protein. Usually I eat 1/3 to 1/2 at a time. Also I like to get deli
slices of meat (in a package) from Aldi's. They have turkey, ham and beef.
One slice is around 5 grams of protein. Sometimes I'll eat one-three slices
(no bread)when I want a snack. So Jerky, cheese and deli meats are a good
high protein, low or no carb snack.

Edemame (sp?) those yummy japanese "beans", string cheese,
yogurt, nuts, rolled up lunch meat- spread with cream cheese and a
pepperoncini, the old stand-bys: jerky, cut up protein bars....

How about some deviled eggs from all those Easter eggs most of us will soon
have around the house. Yum! :o)

If you like it then cottage cheese makes a good snack. 12 grams of protein
for four ounces, low in calories and filling. I never liked it before, but
now its one of my favorite meals/snacks.

Karen, my newest addiction is "SOY CRISPS" , they are alot like
potato chips, I like the Lightly Salted or Onion & Vinegar, they are
130 calories for the bag, 19g of carbs and 12g of protein. In my opinion,
the carbs are WAY HIGH (I do less than 20g a day), however, when I am
craving salt, they do the trick! Good Luck! Heather (open rny 8/15, down

servings, salted soy nuts.

I recently discovered lowfat ricotta cheese with all-fruit preserves
(blueberry is the best!)--tastes like a blintz without the annoying
"pancake", and a good source of protein--yum!

I am almost 2 yrs out and have lost 135 lbs. I have never made it to goal,
so I have gotten back on track with the high protein and low carbs, so I
have been looking for high protein snacks myself and have found that turkey
pepperoni w/ any kind of cheese melted on top is awesome! It's like having
pizza without the crust and sauce. I count out the pepperoni as it states
in the nurtritional serving put cheese on top, stick it in the microwave
for about 20 sec and it is so good, satisfying and you fill full for a good
while. I also eat boiled eggs as a snack. I will take more ideas too.
