Snacks - high protein/low carb

[secretlyevil]

What's your favorite high protein/low carb snack (other than eggs or nuts)? Need to get more protein in my day, doing fine on carbs and fats but I seem to be consistently a little shy of my protein goal.

[chw57]

I don't eat either tuna or jerkey but those were the first to come to mind. Or greek yogurt (not sure about the carb count on that)

[wambam]

Tuna salad made with tzaztiki instead of mayo.

[labbie]

My fave is plain ff greek yogurt or cottage cheese with raspberries or strawberries, or just a dash of honey to sweeten it.

that sounds amazing!

Greek yogurt with actual fruit, not the fruit greek yogurt cups. Real fruit has a lot less sugar.
Cottage cheese with fruit.

[vcubergirl]

Avocado (you can also use it to make chicken/Tuna salad), salami, lunch meat. Roasted chickpeas. Protein shake made into a smoothie.

Jerky, parmesan crisps (the kind made with *only* parmesan cheese), cottage cheese, icelandic yogurt (I like the 4% siggi's in the low and flat-ish container), and peanuts - which are pretty much the only commonly available "nut" with more protein than carbs.

Jerky
Tuna
String cheese wrapped in prosciutto or other meat
Nuts
Eggs
Oatmega bars
Lunch meats wraps
Yogurt Greek or grassfed
Cottage cheese

I do this too

[shauni27]

When I was able to eat deli meat I would do deli meat a lot. Jerky and cheese sticks are good too. I am following this thread because I do not get enough protein either, or if I do, there are loads of other fats and carbs with it

tuna mixed with cottage cheese

Definitely not the bowl of rice Krispies I just ate.

DAMNIT I have got to eat more protein. 😊

I buy the tzaztiki from Costco and it's great! Another weird thing I do is combine the tzaztiki with salsa and make sort of a hybrid sauce (not with tuna, but chicken and rice is really good)

I need to come eat at wambam's house more...

Always looking for quick and easy 'sauces' for bowls- this sounds yum!

In that case, Costco also sells a green avocado and tomatillo salsa that is out of this world! It's Rojo's brand.

HA! Everything I do is pretty basic and I eat things over and over again. I'm a little obsessive like that

This all sounds amazing. Thanks!

I love the in-house roasted turkey breast that my grocery store sells. I usually take a few slices of that and wrap it around a slice of avocado, bell pepper, and cucumber. I little salt and squeeze of lemon and YUM!

Hard boiled egg and a handful of pistachios
Tuna with lemon and avocado slice
Skyr (Icelandic yogurt. I think the most comment brand is Siggi's) in a tube. I freeze them and then they're like a tangy frozen yogurt treat. The tubes have 5g protein/6g carb/1g fat/50 cal.

[sadlebred]

Others have said what I was going to mention--Greek yogurt w/fruit or drizzle of honey, nuts, fruit w/peanut butter.

H does most of our shopping, Costco is his favorite store. I haven't been there in awhile!

[libbygrl109]

I love tzaztiki, but am so lazy about making it. Now I really wish we had Costco near me.

When I need more protein, I like having quinoa mixed with grilled chicken. Put them both on a salad, and it's a really filling lunch or dinner.

[labbie]

This thread is making me so hungry.

[rondonalddo]

Pork rinds, if you want a crunchy-munchy treat snack that's still high protein/low carb.
