You'll love these protein snack box ideas!
Whether you're looking for protein on the go options as a snack or even a work lunch, we're sharing a great variety of options that are easy to mix and match.
Since starting a macro eating plan to lose weight and build muscle, I've started weighing all foods in grams for accuracy. It's truly the only way to know exactly how much you're eating because measuring food by cups or by size, like a medium apple vs a large apple, could mean you're unknowingly adding in extra calories all day long.
We highly recommend investing in an inexpensive food scale to help with tracking your proteins, fats, and carbs during the day.

Macro Nutrients Box
As someone who doesn't naturally gravitate towards vegetables, my trainer gave me a list of macro nutrients we should eat basically single day to get certain vitamins and minerals.
This box includes most of those foods, the only thing missing is the baby spinach which we usually put in our morning high protein smoothie or in a dinner salad.
