Going NUTS. Other crunchy snack?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm on Day 14.  No real issues with food choices or meals.  EXCEPT:  I really need a snack in the late afternoon as my family eats dinner quite late, and I often exercise before dinner making it even later (7:30-8:00).  I crave crunchy for snack and have been having nuts.  But it is really easy to overeat on nuts!  Raw veges don't really appeal at this time of day as I've consumed rather large amount at mid-day meal.

 

Any ideas?

You should not be eating a snack. You should be eating a pre-workout meal and a post-workout meal on days that you exercise. See the meal planning template for details. On days you have a long stretch between meal 2 and 3 on days you do not exercise, add a mini-meal of protein, fat, and veggies.

I have plans to make roasted sweet potato chunks which I can dip in mayo for the carb + fat, made in advance.

I'm still having trouble figuring out what to do for protein but prosciutto is an option.

 

Some quick n easy protein that's worked for me:

 

- Hard boiled egg

- A couple slices deli turkey or chicken breast

- Epic bites (compliant jerky)

- Small portion of roasted chicken, steak, or compliant sausage (these are usually left overs from a dinner)

- 1/3 - 1/2 can of compliant tuna

 

Alternate fats to mayo:

- A few olives

- 1/4 avocado

 

Hope that helps!

These are good suggestions but the op wanted some crunch which is why I suggested roasted sweet potatoes because I imagine you can get them to be crunchy like fries. Olives, avocado, are very soft and I guess you could pair them with crunch somehow but I thought mayo would be a good compliment to the fries. Now that you mention it leftover ground beef meatballs you can make in advance, freeze, and reheat would go with those as well and can be defrosted in a pinch in the microwave or frying pain
