Pumpkin Seeds
Who doesn’t like toasted pumpkin seeds on a day of rest while snuggling up with a movie? Pumpkin seeds as it turns out are a great source of protein. One cup of pumpkin seeds has 12 grams of protein in it. Pumpkin seeds can be consumed as a snack, added in Greek yogurt, or used in salads, cereals, or soups.

Lentils
The best way to leave you feeling satisfied and not hungry for food all day is through beans. Lentils do not contain all the amino acids that your body requires. Even so, eating them along with other incomplete proteins, such as brown rice, ensures that you get all the amino acids that your body needs. Including protein, they do contain many other nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, niacin, and folate. Top your meals with beans or just eat them for long-lasting results as your late afternoon snack.
