Sunflower seeds, the Planters 3/4 is 7g of protein and 180 calories, alittle high on the calories. But last a good couple hours, few here and there and fills you up. Celery and peanut is also a good snack and high in Protein.

protein muffins (look up recipes here at this site)
protein shake with quaker quick one minute oat right in them (let them soak)...drink up
create your own protein bars
tuna with rice cakes

*oats w/ p.pwdr mixed in
*cc w/ p.pwdr mixed in
*egg whites
*cc w/ fruit or mixed nuts
*sounds weird, but sometimes i take hardboiled egg whites & in place of where the yolk was i put a little almond/peanut butter. yum! ... however PB w/ anything sounds pretty good to me!
*making your own protein bars like a previous post states is a good idea as well; i make my own every couple weeks. sometimes i'll even break up one of the bars & throw it in some yogurt or cottage cheese.

1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese
A little bit of splenda
1 scp BSN Lean Dessert Protein Cinnamon Roll

Blend w/ hand blender or mix really well if you don't mine the texture of cottage cheese!

And a bit of fat free Cool Whip to top off

SOOOOOO yummy!!!!! Tastes like pumpkin pie!
