Snacks?

What do you normally eat for a small snack that is low in calories and high protein? I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat too much...

Great ideas, thanks! :) I thought about getting jerky or a beef strip, but then I worry about the sodium. Has that been an issue for you?

I bought a dehydrator on amazon and a jerky gun for homemade jerky. I buy the nesco jerky flavoring and you can leave out the 'cure' to reduce the salt. You can use steak without the gun, BUT with the different tips included with the jerky gun, you can make softer round ones more similar to a Slim Jim or a flat one that amazingly make the ground beef feel like steak like Jack Links. You have to use the lean ground beef and it makes a very large batch. Without the cure, you have to keep it in the fridge or even freeze some. The cure allows you to leave it out on the counter for about a week and a half.

The original flavoring packet is so very tasty. There are different flavors but I haven't tried any others.

String cheese is my go to snack. It's portable and filling. Also raw almonds.

Sugar free chocolate pudding with a tsp of natural peanut butter; but string cheese and laughing cow cheeses with fruit are my go to snack

Nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios:, celery dipped in PB, cottage cheese, low sugar greek yogurt, string cheese, carrots dipped in hummus, refried beans, a few turkey meatballs.

My current favorite is a boiled egg with salt and pepper.

Low fat plain kefir, and the things mentioned above.
