Most of us feel the pangs of flavor and slide down that slippery slope to the Land of Snacks. Even for the most hardcore of self-flagellating dieters, not all snacks need to be sinful. The 10 snacks we rounded up below are the best high-protein off-meal foods for keeping your muscular development on track while keeping you satisfied. Greek yogurt and protein shakes are both laden with enough muscle-building nutrients to keep your macros fulfilled while speaking to your sweet tooth.

Raw powerlifter Hunter Henderson already owned the raw squat in knee wraps all-time world record in the 82.5KG class. But at this past weekendâs Ghost Clash 3 event, Henderson eclipsed that mark by a full six kilograms, totaling 311 kilograms (or 685 pounds). Henderson recently told BarBend that her focus is qualifying for the 2024 Olympia, but youâll have to keep your eyes peeled for her undoubtedly eventual return to elite-level powerlifting.
