High protein, low carb snacks

[LegendRider]

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

[Makuman]

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.:p:no::help:

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

[stu.h]

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.

[LegendRider]

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

[stu.h]

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

[berserk87]

I would not choose to pack hard boiled eggs for a ride snack, but to each his own. Something about riding in peak summer heat and then downing a hard boiled egg that is not refrigerated - not for me.

[ojingoh]

I like Walnuts and almonds. Very energy dense, very good for you as well. Extremely easy to measure out, can not finish it on a ride and take it with you on the next ride. Also good for sharing.

Greek yogurt and I will stick some peanut butter in there to spice it up.

[moobikes]

Leftover cuts of meat and chicken make good snacks, and salads made from those leftovers are great, too. Instead of using only leafy greens for the salads, try using chopped nuts and diced fresh fruit like apples and oranges.

If you are into tofu, you can make an easy marinade with soy sauce, oil and dried chili peppers. Soak some dense tofu in the marinade, and keep that in the fridge. On a hot summer day, it's a great snack.

If you're like me and think our obsession with beef jerky is out of control, not to mention terrible for our planet and not great for your body in large quantities, try some dry-roasted edamame (soy beans). I just found some the other day that are great for snacking between meals. On top of the 10g or so of protein you get per serving, they have something jerky doesn't have-- fiber!!

steak

[gaucho753]

Since you said off the bike:
I like my greek yogurt with nuts and a bunch of cinnamon with a drop of honey.
Avocado salad with salt, oil & vinegar.
Bruschetta made with cheese crisps instead of bread + pancetta/salami
nuts
a spoonful of low-sugar peanut butter
Trader Joe's sells a low-suger dark chocolate bar (with or without almonds)
Jerky
lettuce wraps: egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, tacos, etc.

Beef jerky comes to mind

I don’t have any bright ideas, except to note that quite a few jerky products contain a lot of sugar. Not the best thing to gorge on.

When I was avoiding carbs, I’d snack on peanut butter and celery. The peanut butter is high-energy and the celery’s crunch is satisfying.
