decker_bear Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm still in the process of figuring out how much food is enough food to hold me over until the next meal, so I've started keeping a snack with me for "emergencies." You know, those times when if you don't eat something, you're fairly sure you're going to throw up or pass out or both. I find this is happening fairly regularly (which is a good indication I need to work on my meals), but in the interim I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a portable fat source besides nuts. I feel like I'm eating far too many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Olives are another good portable fat source.Also, when crafting a snack, ideally, make it a mini meal of protein, veg and fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_bear Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thank you for your input! That's exactly what I do, I guess I should have specified that. The protein and veggie/fruit I've got down, it was the fat that was throwing me. It hadn't occurred to me before, but there's an olive bar at my grocery store. I think I'll hit it up next time I'm there. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You're welcome. Be sure to ask what the grocery store olives are swimming in ... sometime the mixture contains sulfites (which are not compliant on a Whole30). Just to clarify, on the fruit part, the recommendation is to have fruit as part of your main meals only - not as part of a snack. Too easy to fall into the trap of feeding the sugar dragon while snacking ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_bear Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Good to know! Thanks for that, I may have been inadvertently feeding that little bee* this whole time... Grr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Avocadoes are easy to carry as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellysensei Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I need portable fat ideas, too - avocados are out because they give me severe stomach pain, and I dislike olives. I'm eating way too many nuts lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Coconut flakes are a good portable source. I toast some with salt and cinnamon and carry a container with me sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Coconut butter is fairly portable, you may be able to find it in little mini squeeze packs, Artisana brand make them. Nut butters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted December 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hard boiled eggs are a good fat/protein combo, an HBE thrown into a zippy bag and into your tote or purse at the beginning of the day is perfectly edible by the end, hard boiled eggs do not require constant refrigeration. You can keep a jar of mayo in your work fridge so that if you lunch doesn't have enough fat, you can add the mayo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcarn Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I use coconut butter, poured into molds and set, so I have a meal-sized serve to just eat. Having said hat, my lunch time fat is the fat off my meat, so it doesn't have to be treated separately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I also love the little dip-containers from Lunchbots, they're a great size and as they're stainless steel, hold cold well too: http://www.lunchbots.com/products/leak-proof-containers/dips-leak-proof-stainless-steel-condiment-container/ Haven't had a leak yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
