Snacks
String Cheese and Almonds
No prep, no cooking, no plates. Two string cheese sticks and a measured handful of almonds is a completely viable snack on a cutting diet — 15g of protein, good fats, and minimal carbohydrates. The kind of snack that fits in a gym bag and takes zero planning.
Ingredients
- 2 light string cheese sticks (approx. 40g total)
- 20g almonds (roughly 18–20 nuts)
Method
- Open the packaging.
- Eat.
Pro Tip
Weigh the almonds rather than estimating. 20g looks like a small number of nuts but is an appropriate portion — almonds are calorie-dense at around 580 calories per 100g, and it's easy to eat 40–50g without noticing.
Nutrition Notes
Light string cheese provides calcium and protein in a convenient, low-calorie format — typically 40–50 calories and 6–7g of protein per stick. Almonds contribute vitamin E, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats. Together this is a nutritionally complete snack at a very manageable calorie cost.
