SNACK

My favorite high protein snack is a hard boiled egg. They are easy to prepare if you cook several at a time and they are exceptionally easy to store, although cooked eggs only stay fresh for one week in the refrigerator. One large hard-boiled egg provides 6 grams of protein.

If you're watching your saturated fat intake, you can eat hard boiled eggs without the yolk. I like the taste of egg whites, so I eat them plain. But you can also add a scoop of homemade hummus (more protein!) for extra flavor.
