High Protein Snacks: 7-Eleven Edition

We see ‘high protein’ on many food packaging but it’s hard to determine what deserves the title and what doesn’t. While there isn’t a rubric to categorise food in this manner, I personally use the following method from this video

How i see this method mathematically: essentially we take the protein (in grams) and divide it by the calories (in kcals) and I want the quotient greater than 0.1. I don’t think the metric has a name for it (correct me if i’m wrong!) but for the sake of convenience, let’s call it protein per cal (PPC)

0.1 would mean that for every 10 calories, you are getting 1g of protein so you want PPC the bigger the better. Okay if we were to not work with decimals, we’re basically aiming 10g of protein for every 100 calories.

The vid explains with many examples so highly recommend you give it a watch!

Anyway, on to my fave 7-Eleven high protein snacks!

1. Betagro chicken breast

The favourite of all gym bros

💰 $2.80

Protein: 20g

Calories: 100 (varies for different flavours)

PPC: 0.2

2. Snappea pea milk chocolate flavour

I’d say the taste is not for everyone but for someone who doesnt like whey protein, this makes a good substitute for me.

💰 $2.40 for 2 when on promo

Protein: 9g

Calories: 90cals

PPC: 0.1

*warning though, drink immediately or keep item refrigerated as much as possible. I’ve had one which i left out for too long and it curdled and i took a big sip 🤮

*another warning i’ve never tried the original flavour cause i’m scared it’d taste too earthy so try that at your own risk haha

3. String cheese

💰 $1

Protein: 7g

Calories: 80

PPC: 0.0875

Not quite at my 0.1 threshold but this makes a good economical and small snack to gnaw on the go. Chicken breast can smell a bit much to eat while on the move sometimes

Tbh i rarely hit my protein goal la but i could be a lot further if i don’t have these readily available for me at most 7-11s 🤪
