Highest-protein snacks

Snackable foods ranked by protein per typical serving - jerky, cheese, yogurt, nuts, seeds, and edamame - for closing the gap between meals.

47 of the 796 foods in the ProteinTally database work as a snack. Servings differ between foods - each row states the one it is quoting, and the per-100 g list compares them all on equal weight.
