Im great with dinners and what to eat but I need desperate help with my snacks.

I havent lost but 1 pound in about 3-4 weeks and I think I have been eating too many carbs.

I need some help with what to eat for snacks that are "on the go" friendly and are low carn and high protein.

TIA!

I get the 24-pack of protein bars that they sell at Costco. The brand I get is "Premier Protein" and each bar has 30 grams of protein and a very modest carb load. The bars average 270 calories, and I have made my mid-day meal out of them for over a year.

I also get those 200-calorie microwave popcorn bags at Costco. Great snack, and some good fiber, too.

Try some dried apricots for a quick snack. A little high on the carbs, but no fat and a lot of fiber.

Then there's that "Muscle Milk" stuff, if you want to drink your snack.

Learning to swim was easy. The hard part was getting out of that burlap sack. Those rocks were heavy.

Beef Jerky- high protein, low fat - goes down pretty effortless for me.
