Portable protein snacks



Recommended Posts

I am headed to NYC this week and I am looking for a couple Snacks I can take with me. I am going with my mom and sister and they will likely just eat two meals a day. I get full SO fast (at each setting) that I need to snack to get any real Protein in.

So I am thinking of bringing string cheese, pistachios, almonds, beef jerky...

Any other ideas? I am not concerned about fat or carbs.

Thanks guys!!

I recently started a thread called looking for Snacks and people gave me a lot of great portable ideas, one of them was the 100 calorie packs of cocoa-dusted almonds. Take Protein Shots too so you don't short yourself on protein!

Where do you get the Protein Shots, and what kind do you use?

I get mine in the PX - I live/work on a military installation. The soldiers love their Protein powders, shakes, pills, etc!! I use Body Fortress Super whey Shot - 26g's of protein, 110 cals. They taste horrible but at only 2.9 Fluid ounces it is easier to down that then to slowly sip an equally horrible Protein Shake. You can also get Protein Shots online at drugstore.com, Amazon.com, gnc.com, and I'm sure others. I've noticed that on days where this is the first thing I have in the morning, I have great energy all day and low interest in food.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
