heya, im 17 and currently at school. because of this i dont eat between having breakfast (7:30) and lunch (12:00). Lunch tends to be rather low in protein due to the nature of school meals (small portions and such) so i usually dont get anythin until i get home. this means on a school day i can go up to maby 6-7 hours without consuming some decent protein. could any one suggest anything i could take in with me to give a little boost through the day? some days i dont even get half the protein i should and i'm kinda worried about developing a mild deficiencey, any 1 know of any syptoms i should watch out for just in case??

thanx in advance

Perhaps some kind of salami-bar could help. I usually take 2 with to school.
Sometimes I take a pack of cottage cheese and almonds with me.
On rare occasions I also pack in some berries.
How about a can of tuna? Or some breaded chicken? There are lots of possibilities.

If you're not living the low-carb lifestyle and just want the protein you could make a (whole grain) turkey sandwich with eggs.

Hope that gave you some inspiration... I'm feeling uncreative at the moment

See ya!

How about Mark's protein bar recipe? You could make that in the dorm even.

Also, one of the smaller coffee thermoses could hold a protein shake you make in the morning and have with you. You could make it in a larger thermos with a couple extra scoops of protein powder and add some heavy cream and drink it for multiple meals.

Also, hard boiled eggs travel very well.

thanx for the advice, shall give it a try =]
