Easy (and fast) Snack Ideas It's a common problem to find the right foods to eat for those
"in-between" meals. You want to eat healthy but need something fast that
fits into your busy schedule easily.
Remember, at each meal and snack the goal is to have a substantial
carb and protein source. I've listed below a few quick ideas for you
along with the carb and protein content of each snack.
1) 6 oz. Greek yogurt (go for plain or
vanilla---those have lowest sugar in them--2 brands to look for are
Oikos and Chobani) and an apple
>>>>>Protein: 16 grams and Carbs: 33 grams
2) A half cup of Cottage cheese and a half cup of blueberries
>>>>>Protein: 13 grams and Carbs: 15
grams
3) Banana and 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter
>>>>>Protein: 4 grams and Carbs: 32
grams
4) 1 oz. Almonds (if you need something super-fast!)
>>>>>Protein: 6 grams and Carbs: 6 grams
5) An 8 oz serving of milk---milk is great natural
meal replacement shake! There are now individually packaged 8 oz
servings of milk that don't need to be refrigerated--very cool. Horizon
makes these, they are really convenient!
>>>>>Protein: 8 grams and Carbs: 12 grams
There you go! Hope you can fit some quick meals into the day. It's
important to keep your metabolism moving if you want to lose fat and see
muscle tone! And the way to do that is to eat about every 3 hours.
