15 of my protein convenience tricks for when I can't cook. 

(Share yours in the comments!)

Chicken breast slices or pieces for sandwiches.

326 calories and 67g protein per pack for these ones https://t.co/6LmWhTGUHZ

Ready to eat boiled eggs.

In the UK, you can buy these from Tesco and Pret (as well as some other places)

About 14g protein and 150 calories for two eggs https://t.co/lDkZH9SFYa

Aldi chocolate protein oats.

272 calories and 14g of protein.

This is handy because all you need is a kettle (which will be in all hotel rooms). https://t.co/m3X7Q8B78z

Pre-packed salad.

Less than 50 calories (assuming no dressing).

Add sandwich meat (like chicken breast chunks from the tweet above) or ready to eat boiled eggs to up the protein content!

Easy lunch on the go (good for desk jobs when you've forgotten to bring something in). https://t.co/sE6hLKbOpc

Skyr yoghurts.

If you get the natural one (not flavoured) then you can get close to 50g protein with 300 calories (450g pot).

Flavoured ones only reduce the protein and increase the calorie count slightly. 

I will happily eat a tub for lunch or breakfast. https://t.co/op1xVDwX61

Similarly to the above, you can also use 0% fat greek yoghurt.

Check the macros on this, the protein isn't always that high, but if you have a good one (like Fage) then you can get 10 or 11g protein per 100g with 55-60 calories. https://t.co/i7oiihu2bi

To be honest, protein bars aren't great.

You're usually looking at 10-20g protein per bar and about 200 calories (not great).

They're also usually £2 or more per bar.

Grenade carb killa is one of the best options at 20g protein/226 calories, but expensive at £3 each. https://t.co/z5DWoGBSna

Protein drinks - if you buy these ready to drink from a supermarket (refrigerated section) then definitely inspect the macros.

For example, the first one pictured is 25g protein but has 205 calories.

Second one is 25g protein & 158 calories. 

Some have a lot more! https://t.co/IvMV3n2lBg

If you can buy your own whey protein and bring it with you then this is still a great option, despite the increasing prices.

If you get a whey isolate (like this one from The Protein Works) then you can get 22g protein for 92 calories. https://t.co/29iJiVL6qU

The Protein Works is my brand of choice for 9 years by the way. Unmatched quality.

A can of tuna - about 30g protein and 120 calories per can (basically ALL protein).

Pretty cheap too.

Make sure you buy one with a ringpull if you're out and about. https://t.co/4l2Uxx16OQ

Likewise, canned salmon is also good.

Higher calorie and fat content, often comes in a bigger can.

Good micronutrient and omega 3 content!

This one from tesco contains 292 calories and 50g of protein. https://t.co/wf2xUQ6T42

Ready to eat salmon fillets (these are from Aldi but you can find them elsewhere!)

About 21 grams of protein and 210 calories per fillet. https://t.co/IypCpJ1pFU

Hot food counter at supermarkets.

These can be hit or miss, but you can often get a cooked rotisserie chicken or half chicken, or you can get cooked chicken thighs or drumsticks with various marinades on them. All hot and ready to eat.

You'll have to use generic macros. https://t.co/6D5iKiga3Q

Ready to eat seafood selection.

This one is a winner. You have to search for it, but Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer in the UK do it. Tesco might have it as well.

It's basically just all protein, and ready to eat.

This pack is £3.50 for 174 calories and 32.4g protein. https://t.co/5fYfMMBTlK
