Rest Days?

[Blueberry]

Typically I am coming from work, so have been struggling to figure out what will give my body what it needs outside of a bar. Nuts don't give me enough protein without consuming way too many of them, and bars generally give me more carbs than I want. Of course, I COULD take a bar with 20 grams of protein and split it...

Any suggestions about other ways of getting 9-10 grams of protein after my workout and <20ish grams of carbs? Hard workouts I've no problem with consuming the entire bar, I just don't think that is needed after every workout - if my understanding is correct. Most of my bars have 30-45 grams of carbs. PB sandwich with one slice of bread would probably work protein wise, but there would be so much that there would be far more fat than I want.

Can you pack a cooler? Then you can have whatever you want - hardcooked egg (light on yolk if you are worried about that), chicken, etc. and an appropriate carb source.
