cold cuts
Ok, so I am going to suggest adding meat. But I won’t be suggesting dry, rubbery chicken. Instead, I recommend delicious low-fat turkey or chicken deli meat.
You can easily make roll-ups of turkey or chicken lunchmeat to add to your snack bag for work. My favorite way is to wrap it around a pickle or even pickled asparagus. Yum!
Another fantastic on-the-go protein source is the snack packs of cubed meat and mixed nuts that can be found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store
greek yogurt
At 10-12grams per serving, this is an easy (and tasty!) way to get more protein as well as your daily dose of probiotics. You can find Greek yogurt in individual tubs or even as a drink for those who don’t have time to sit and munch.
It also tastes amazing when you add in a scoop of protein powder. We recommend Dymatize ISO 100, Gourmet Chocolate, because it’s high in protein, low in sugar, low in carbs, and tastes AMAZING!
nuts
With 8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons, peanut butter is an excellent protein
source, but also high in fat…This is exactly why you will want to stick with nuts. You can find individual servings pre-packaged in the right amount, which are perfect for tossing in your bag as you head out the door.
The best are cashews, pecans, pistachios, and almonds.
Tuna
If you just love the smell of fish, tuna-in-a-pouch will be your best friend! Since it’s already seasoned, you can eat it right out of the can, or mix with some mustard to eat.You’ll be getting 17 grams of low-fat protein per delicious pouch.
Boiled Eggs
Everyone loves deviled eggs, right? Ok, so that may not be quite accurate, but there are other ways to eat eggs too.At 6 grams of protein per egg, don’t give up on this compact snack item! Mix up some chopped boiled egg with a bit of mustard and apple cider vinegar, and enjoy with crackers or veggies.
Or bring some deli mustard in a small container, and dip your hard-boiled egg in it. Zesty AND low calorie!
