The Best High-Protein Snacks Under 150 Calories
High Protein Snacks · Published 22 September 2026 · Updated 22 September 2026 · 4 min read
If you are managing calories, protein density is the whole game: as much protein as possible for as few calories as possible.
Plain Greek yogurt leads
Fage Total 0% gives 17.5g of protein in 92 calories, and Chobani Non-Fat Plain 16g in 90. Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla lands at 15g for 80 calories with flavour already built in. Nothing else comes close on density, and a pot of plain yogurt takes fruit, cinnamon or honey happily.
Dried meat snacks
Biltong and jerky are lean and salty. Stryve Original Beef Biltong offers 16g of protein in 90 calories. Watch the salt if you are keeping an eye on it.
Protein crisps
Quest Nacho Cheese Tortilla Style chips give 18g in 150 calories, which is remarkable for something that eats like a crisp.
Edamame
Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame offers 14g of plant protein in 130 calories with a useful dose of fibre.
What to skip
Most coated bars sit above 190 calories, so they are a poor fit for this bracket even when the protein is good. Nuts are nutritious but calorie-dense, and a small handful passes 150 calories quickly.
