Well, I crunched the numbers. It's rather deceiving because you would think that hummus is a better choice than chicken breast, but it's not. 1/2 Chicken breast is 86 grams, 27.6 g protein, 3.1g fat, 141 calories. 1 TBSP hummus is 15 g, 1.2 g protein, 1.4g fat, 25 calories BUT PER GRAM chicken has way more protein and less fat and almost the same calories. Chicken PER 1 GRAM .321 g protein, .036 g fat, 1.63 calories Hummus PER 1 GRAM .048 g protein, .093 g fat, 1.67 calories So you can see that hummus has less protein and more fat than chicken. Also, serving-control wise I have never see anyone eat only 1 TBSP of hummus ever. Got the nutrition info off the internet. 

Maybe something like Triple zero yogurt?  

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, and low fat string cheese are my go-to's 

Eggs make a pretty good high protein snack. There are many ways to cook and prepare them, boil, scramble, fry, poach, devil, omelet, so you won't get bored. I personally like quail's eggs boiled in soy sauce. Quail's eggs are slightly higher protein per weight than chicken's eggs. The highest protein snack I can think of is fish. Smoked salmon with a little lemon juice and a sprinkle of dill gives you about 21.6g of protein per 100g. That's nearly double the protein density of egg plus a good dose of healthy fats full of omega 3. Tuna fish is slightly higher at 25.5g or protein per 100g but don't eat it too often. Ideally, don't snack. Try to make it the couple of hours to your next proper meal. Drink a cup of water instead. 

Canned tuna in water, deli ham is almost fatfre, and shrimp cocktail too 

Kefir :) Nuts not low calorie but a little goes a long way. 4-5 with a 16 oz glass of lemon water (purified) thirty minutes before meal. Helps to be satisfied with less food. Good luck ! 

I do a handful of macadamia nuts and lime water. LCHF
