High protien snacks?

borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2003/08/27, 05:21 PM I typically eat small meals/snacks from morning to dinner. At dinner I usually eat a medium sized meal before working out, and finish my day with a whey shake. Unfortanetly right now I only get protien in my breakfast, lunch, dinner and pre-bed snack. My brunch and after-lunch snack are some sort of fruit or granola bar (I know, granola's got a load of sugar). The thing is, I don't know what I can take for protien. I am on sort of a budget so I really don't want to use the extra whey. I always eat a tuna sandwich for lunch (mustard only) and I really dislike tuna, so eatting more of that is out of the question. Do you guys know any quick fix protein snacks that fit the price range of "poor graduate"? -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

Sometimes I'll get some beef jerky, but, watch out for sodium. sardines are good also with good fat. -------------- You can walk to anywhere you want, it only takes time.

Also, yogurt that is low in sugar, hard boiled eggs, nuts, nut butters, or instead of a granola bar, eat some low sugar protein bar or shake.

I made an omelette with four egg whites, fresh, organic asparagus and some vegen white cheese. That's the first time I've ever used only egg whites and I found it to be delicious!

Now I have found that just making sure everything I eat has at least a little protein makes it easy to get all that I need. It may take 5 meals a day, but I'm doing it! I use the diet tracker all the time. The cottage cheese tips sound great, can't wait to try some!
