I am a protein maniac. To me, protein is the bomb, OK? Why? It fills you up.
It tastes good. It makes you feel like you're eating more of a meal than something like a crispy, crunchy, I don't know, a chip. So for my protein choices, I love
shrimp, because it's super low in calories and fat. It tastes great. It feels a little fancy, too. So shrimp is great.
I like chicken. Now, I cook my own chicken, or sometimes, I buy the precooked chicken, which makes it even easier. I also love egg whites, so you could just
boil up a whole batch of eggs. And I tend to just eat the whites because my cholesterol, I watch that. And I don't really want to eat the yolks, so I avoid the yolks,
but I love the whites. And you can also buy like the packaged egg substitute, like Egg Beaters or AllWhites or whatever it is.
Throw that in a skillet or even in the microwave and you will have a high protein, amazing snack. So egg whites, underrated, in my opinion.
