high-quality protein foods snacks
The document is a concise nutrition guide authored by Tyrone Bray for Stronger Than Life Coaching, aimed at helping readers increase their daily protein intake through high-quality snack options. It emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods and excludes soy, junk, and filler ingredients. The guide recommends targeting 10–30 g of protein per snack, consumed once or twice daily, and outlines specific snack categories: animal‑based proteins (e.g., boiled eggs, beef jerky, chicken breast, ham/turkey slices, tinned fish) with protein amounts and ingredient cautions; dairy‑based proteins for those who tolerate dairy (Greek yoghurt, Skyr, cottage cheese, cheese portions) with protein content and sugar considerations; soy‑free plant‑based options (nuts, seeds, nut butters) noting lower protein quality but usefulness for variety; clean protein supplements (grass‑fed whey, beef protein isolate) with minimal ingredients and warnings against collagen‑only blends; simple real‑world snack combinations (e.g., yoghurt + berries, eggs + fruit, jerky + apple). It also lists foods to avoid (soy protein, highly processed bars, collagen‑only powders, vegan blends with gums/fillers/sweeteners) and concludes with clear guidelines: 10–30 g protein per snack, 1–2 snacks per day if needed, and prioritize whole foods first.
