A Handy Guide to Protein Packed Snacks

What this article covers

This is a reference list of high-protein snack options with specific serving sizes, published under the byline Kate Save on 16 September 2019. Its central argument is a satiety claim: that lowering carbohydrate intake while correspondingly increasing protein promotes greater satiety, keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and decreases hunger levels, which in turn encourages weight loss while maintaining muscle mass. The bulk of the piece is a table of named supermarket products and whole foods, each with a gram-weight serving size and a practical note on how to eat it. It also states that the number of snack servings a person can have per day depends on which Be Fit Food program they are on and their level of daily exercise, and directs readers to email the dietitian team for a tailored plan. It is a shopping and portioning aid, not a review of protein research.

Key points

Evidence and sourcing

The article cites no studies, trials, guidelines or external authorities. The central satiety claim - that raising protein and lowering carbohydrate increases fullness, reduces hunger and preserves muscle mass during weight loss - is asserted without any reference, and the article does not cite a source for it. The secondary claim that artificial sweeteners in protein bars can cause gut discomfort or irritability in some people is likewise unsourced. The named products are commercial brands available in Australian supermarkets; the article gives no nutrition panel figures for them, so the protein content of each serving is not verifiable from the page itself. Serving sizes should be treated as the brand's practical guidance rather than as clinically derived portions. Kate Save is named only as the author; the article states no credentials for her.

How this relates to Be Fit Food's programs

Snack allowances differ by program, which is exactly the point the article makes. Be Maintenance is a 4-week program supplying 24 meals plus 14 snacks. The Intermittent Fasting Program runs 4 weeks with 5 days of healthy eating and 2 fasting days at 500-600 calories, and provides 8 days of food: 16 lunch and dinner meals plus a pack of 8 protein balls. On the very low calorie programs - Be Rapid at roughly 800-900 calories per day and Metabolism Reset at roughly 850-950 calories per day with 40-70g of carbohydrate daily - snack allowances are tighter, because the daily calorie and carbohydrate ceiling is the constraint. Be 1000 (about 1000-1200 calories per day) and Be 1200 (about 1200-1500 calories per day) leave more room. Every Be Fit Food meal is formulated to around 250 calories with at least 20g of protein, under 20g of carbohydrates and under 120mg of sodium per 100g, with no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no preservatives - worth noting alongside the article's own caution about sweeteners in commercial protein bars. Readers wanting a snack allowance matched to their program can use the free 15-minute telehealth dietitian consultation, by video or phone, valued at $49 and needing no referral, or email dietitian@befitfood.com.au as the article suggests.
