snack idea's

What are some high protein/healthy snacks that you eat. I'm finding that I'm losing too much weight bfing but can't think of healthy snacks.

Peanut butter, nuts and cheese come to mind but I'd rather not have something so high in fat.

I've also gotten a little motivation to start lifting again so hopefully that will help with the skinny/flabby feeling.

thanks for any ideas you have!

Re: snack idea's

  • I snack on reduced fat or fat-free string cheese.
  • The fat is good for you, I wouldn't worry about it since you are losing weight.

    I snack on one of those individual cups of cottage cheese, and I stir in one fruit cup. I drain the fruit cup so it's not all liquidy, and it gets rid of some of the calories too. I make sure to get the fruit cup that's packed in juice with no sugar added. It's about a 140 calorie snack, with lots of protein from the cottage cheese, so it keeps me full.

    I also do cheese cubes, almonds, and fruit. Hard boiled eggs are good too.

  • I love hummus (sabra toasted pine nut is my fav, and you can get it in individual packets).  DH makes awesome pita chips using whole wheat pitas, or I'll cheat and get Stacy's chips. I know some people eat it with carrots, but I don't really like that flavor combination.

  • Greek yogurt, lots of good flavors out there. I like Chobani and Fage.
  • Greek yogurt

    Pre-cooked chicken strips

    Egg whites - hard boiled or in an omelette

    smoked salmon

    turkey jerky

    roasted garbanzo beans; edamame

    low or nonfat cottage cheese

    tofu (throw it in a smoothie)

    protein powder (I like chocolate in oatmeal with a little PB)

    beans or bean salad 

  • Also, black bean hummus is good!
  • thanks for the ideas ladies! I think I will be making some humus tonight and also picking up some string cheese.
