Hi everyone, I'm almost 11 months out and I'm looking for some good recipes or quick snacks that I can take on the go with me that are low in carbs and high in protein. Please help! Thanks !

I have some beef jerky.  1 oz has 80 cal - 13 grams protein - 4 carbs.  (1 oz is filling for me)  Trader Joes has Turkey jerky that is a bit better on these numbers.

I also have "Naturs Promise" Creamy ranch soy chrisps.  These are filling and I only have 2 to 4 at a time. 19 crisps are 120 cal - 7 grams protein - 15 carbs. They are at the grocery stores.  As I said they are quite filling and no way could I ever get in 19 of them. Tastes delish if you like ranch flavor.

                Can't Never Did Nothin !!

I have taught myself to love all turkey products! I usually have one of those Beef and cheese stick snacks you find at the checkout line in grocery stores, but I saw that our Walmart now has a turkey and cheese snack by Jack Links? that they sell in an 8 pk for $4 something. I am thinking about grabbing some of those as well.

I like to use jerky--I like the Pacific Gold beef jerky from Costo and get the big bag that has like 12 1 oz bags inside.  Basically, I can't be trusted with a giant bag of jerky.  I keep a baggie of almonds in the car too.  Greek yogurt is a good quick snack, especially early out.  The Babybel cheese and string cheese are also good.  Bariatric Foodie (bariatricfoodie.com) is a great resource and so is the World According to Eggface.  You can find protein ball recipes on both sites (I think).  Slices of lunchmeat wrapped around a stick of cheese is really great too.

Good luck on your journey!

Jen

My go to snacks are lettuce wrap with a piece of lunch meat and pickle, Greek yogurt, soy beans, cheese sticks, apple and peanut butter, roasted chick peas, and hummus with veggies
