Islandgirl2 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted November 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2015 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.

Erica Gucc Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted November 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2015 The real question to ask yourself is why do you need crunch? Because you're used to a crunchy snack/treat at this time of day? That's a habit you might want to examine the reasons behind. Not judging, just prodding you to think about it.
