High protein, low carb snacks

Looking for recommendations for high protein, low carb snacks aside from expensive protein bars. Beef jerky comes to mind. What else? Nuts?

Off the top of my head, eggs.

I use Epic bars. Jerky-like, not as tough. Tony

Jack Link's Extra Tender jerky and a mix of cashews, almonds, macadamias, and walnuts are my go-tos.

I eat quite a bit of beef jerky. This Oberto trail mix has some dried fruit and chocolate, but still a pretty high ratio of protein to carbs based on recommended daily intake.

I precook a bunch of steaks (bought in bulk, cooked rare), put it in the fridge, and when I was hungry I'd toss it in a pan to crisp the outside just a touch. It was usually breakfast and I wouldn't eat again until mid afternoon.

This is when I was looking after my dad at home. I lost about 10 lbs pretty quickly.

Nuts. Or Greek yogurt.

Mixed Nuts are good but they're high in calories.
Trail Mix (over chips)
Smoked Turkey or Chicken (over beef jerky)

For a ride? Pepperettes, beef jerky, nuts.

At home? Bacon, cheese, cold cuts, avocado, pork rinds, pickles.

We boil eggs in bunches (like 36 at a time) and I can get a hit of a couple of eggs at a time from the fridge this way, as a quick snack.

Peanuts, almonds, sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, pistachios are great options.

If you are talking about on-the-bike snacks, obviously boiled eggs would be a bad choice.

Prepeeled and in a ziplock, Hard boiled eggs are fine.

Your first post is so disgusting.

There is nothing more freakish and awful to me than boiled eggs.

2 bites per egg. throw some salt in the bag if you're feeling jazzy.
There are much more uncomfortable things we do than eating some eggs.

To clarify, I'm looking for off the bike snack ideas.

Eggs are great off the bike as well. Will probably be better because they're colder
