I have noticed a problem with my current workout schedule.
When I go to the gym, I do so before dinner, on my way home. When I go to kung fu, I have a small dinner before I leave work (at around 5:30, usually).
In both cases, I'm very, very hungry by the time I head for home. I need to fond something relatively healthy that I can use to satisfy my post-workout hunger. Generally speaking, I find myself craving protein. unfortunately, most sources of protein are also sources of significant amounts of fat (and cholesterol).
So, does any one have any recommendations for quick, portable snacks with lots of protein? At the gym, I can get protein shakes, which seem to do the trick (though they're less pleasant when consumed while walking in -15 C weather), but coming back from kung fu, there's not really any place to stop. (kung fu is in downtown TO)

From:
*fwap* and a suggestion...
You only get in trouble if you miss the 10:05 bus and then don't call to tell me you've missed it. :-p
I still think some of those protein bars might not be a bad idea - if you get the Zone ones (or whatever) they have very low carbs, are almost all protein, although I'm not sure about fat content in them.
And they don't taste *too* much like chalk...
