Grab-and-Go Protein

[cgraz]

As for nuts, I keep portions in snack-sized bags to avoid eating too many.  A quarter cup is about 180-200 calories, and I can easily keep eating if I don't have it pre-portioned. 

I did exactly that when I bought a big bag of pistachios (salty and delicious!) recently, and it worked out really well. It was a good amount to satisfy for a snack, and kept me from going overboard. I portioned them all out as soon as I bought the bag, and then just grabbed the snack bags during the week. Win!

Don't try to make hardboiled eggs in the microwave though.

Yeah, if they aren't portioned, I can eat a lot of salty nuts. 

That sounded dirty, but it really wasn't!

Putting things in small bags has never worked for me.  I just eat more of them.

For days that you just need to grab a bar.. I was recommended Quest bars, higher protein, lower carb and lower sugar...

A bit pricey and I have to get them at the vitamin shop, but there calorie count is somewhat lower than most bars...

Lara bars are nuts and fruit.  Again, a bit pricey in my opinion. I know there are plenty of recipes to make your own nut/fruit bars that would make it cheaper.
