Costco jar-o-nuts and jerky(peppered)
Don't get anything that will spike the blood sugar.
Although they are expensive, my go to is unsalted cashews.
Today in the shops I picked up unsalted cashews and saw they were like 10 AUD for 500 grams, through those bitches back instantly
Lmao I stock the freezer with trader joes microwaveable ready made awesome chicken breast and have a few avocados in my desk... this will probably give away who i am.
Liberals' tears
Haha
favourite online platform for liberal trolling?
SJW Tumblr or GTFO
Barney almond butter. Power Crunch Bars. Oatmega bars.
my secretary.
That escalated things.
amazing how much punch two little worlds can have, isn't it? to be fair i sometimes use honey or PB or whipped cream but she is always the main snack.
Kind bars
The hearts of my interns.
Doze nuts.
Edamame beans.
Chicken parmigiana
Trail Mix
In offices, hunger is usually a symptom of thirst. People don't drink nearly enough water. Aside lunch and the occasional breakfast, I spend my days downing tea, water, protein shakes, or anything generally made from water and without much caffeine in it. After the morning 3x shot, that is.
Rocky Mountain oysters.
Chik fil a
Chobani, peanut butter crackers/ some kind of bar, bannanas
Costco jar o nuts and/or Soylent
-lent is life
Quest Bar
Carrots and snap peas - can eat them all day long
Dried mango, unsalted cashews, lots of tea
Jerky, Protein Bars, Protein Shakes, Steak, Eggs, or Chicken.
Granola / Teriyaki beef jerky and an immense amount of chewing gum
Natural almonds, apples and any fruit I have handy - filling and healthy For when I have a sweet craving, some healthy dark chocolate I have hidden in a corner of my drawer
wagyu jerky, hands down
Cheerios, applesauce (just like an apple, except I don't have to chew), and, as a treat, a kitkat bar.
Silver bananas, but mostly monkey shit.
Healthy Snacks (Originally Posted: 05/31/2014)
Let's hear your ideas...NO SMOOTHIES. I've listed some of mine below.
-- Baby carrots with hummus (kalamata olive or roasted garlic) -- Pure peanut butter w/ sliced banana on bread (whole wheat sourdough/miche) -- Organic instant oatmeal (Nature's Path - maple nut or apple cinnamon) -- Chobani greek yogurt -- Lara bars (although the ones with chocolate are pushing it)
sprite
lean cottage cheese works ok if you don't mind the blandness.
Throw in some fruit, or honey + sliced almonds. Peps things up a bit.
yogurt + a handful of walnuts/fruits
@"CorpFinHopeful" try making tuna salad w/canned tuna and the olive oil mayo (no sat fat), mix in some horseradish, salt, pepper, and spices, it's pretty good and keeps for at least a week.
carrots & hummus are good, I do toasted whole wheat bagels a lot w/either nothing or w/peanut butter
oddly enough, I like low fat cheese sticks. yes they have saturated fat and they're processed but it's solid protein & calcium, and it does the job.
cigarettes & coke also curb hunger, just sayin'.
"toasted whole wheat bagels with nothing on them" = the most depressing thing I've ever heard. I hope for your sake that you are as fit as can be, cause that's a depressing sounding meal.
Capers in tuna salad are great
Nice thread, was looking for alternatives to high-protein foods I've been consuming
I like almonds, unsalted
what nutrients are you looking for? I think the ultimate for a non-protein heavy snack is carrots & hummus/tapenade. fiber, vitamins, etc., and women love hummus.
Walnuts are good.
Low- fat cottage cheese throw in some fruit and you're golden.
Also Quest Bars are quite healthy. Chocolate chip cookie dough is straight up crack for me.
For grazing during the day - bowl of sunflower seeds mixed with raisins or cranberries (although the latter are loaded with fattening sugars).
Sugar, in and of itself, cannot make you fat.
-Mushed up avocado on toast. Throw on some sea salt, pepper and olive oil. If you want more protein, add a poached egg (this could also be a full meal) -Cantaloupe with sriracha (you will thank me later)
please elaborate on the Canta-racha...
The avocado on toast actually sounds pretty good. I'm going to need to try that one.
Bail on the flavored Chobani and switch to the plain. The taste kinda sucks so I add some natural honey to it and it tastes pretty darn good.
Also, Fage is where it's at, but I'm also a yogurt snob.
Prosciutto with mandarin oranges. Just try it.
also good with cantaloupe
Isn't prosciutto relatively high in fat...might as well stuff your face with gabagool
Organic jerky of various animals. Dried mangoes with no sugar. Mothafucking chia seeds in some organic juice.
Quest bars. Seriously if you haven't tried them, do so now. They're the best tasting protein bars ever and have excellent macronutrients. If I wasn't cutting I would probably eat like 5 at a time...
More meals than snacks, but:
Egg-white omelet with fat-free cheese, tomatoes and spinach. Salsa, bottled or otherwise, adds lots of flavor with very low calories. Lean ham for more protein.
Easy to make, because you can get cartons of egg-whites and fat-free cheese singles. Cut up tomatoes and spinach ahead of time or exclude entirely. Bottled salsa.
Lunch: Skinless, boneless chicken breast. Salsa for flavor. Small quantity of brown rice or quinoa. Substitute steamed broccoli for fewer carbs.
Easy to make because chicken breast can keep for a week refrigerated, and you can make a bunch of these meals Sunday night. Put them in separate containers and you'll have a lunch or snack ready to go.
Mix a (non-Greek) yogurt with dry-roasted almonds, cashews, and/or Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars (in bits). Delicious.
I do something similar but use Greek yogurt for protein. Tastes great.
Peanut butter and Greek yogurt are both fairly high fat, high calorie foods that are not necessarily that rich in nutrients or antioxidants. I am all for fat-free diet yogurt made with Sucralose (not aspartame), but my understanding is that the food label on Chobani shows a lot of calories, many of them from saturated fat and sugar.
I think blueberries, broccoli, strawberries, and carrots are all relatively easy and very healthy snacks. Carrots are probably the easiest to eat at work, followed by blueberries. They fill you up and you have to eat an entire bag of carrots to get much past 150 calories.
Quest Bars. Cookies and cream is the dopest
I snack on straight almond butter for breakfast and snacks. the uncut stuff. Still got rocks in it. Usually a heaping table spoon or so. My go to for afternoon cravings is fresh fruit. Peaches, berries, bananas, and apples. When I want a full meal, I will throw a few handfuls of berries (often dried) into a cup of Stoneyfield yogurt. Stuff is right.
Tuna + spinach + salsa = dope healthy salad
I love tuna but you have to be careful of mercury overconsumption, especially with albacore. Shouldn't be consumed frequently, save it for a treat such as sashimi or a salad nicoise.
Cucumbers + hummus = winner
Also, crab meat ftw.
(this is a shake not a smoothie) - it doesn't taste amazing but it's great to drink.
Blend oatmeal and mix it with two scoops of flavored protein. Mix with water in a shaker, and shake it lol.
Tons of complex carbohydrates, and a great amount of protein. Very healthy and easy to drink. To complete the meal/snack (Depending on your portion sizes), eat a handful of pumpkin seeds for some healthy fats!
Do you guys go to work with a bag or something? how do you carry your snacks from day-to-day?
Between this thread and the Soylent thread, there's a lot of misunderstanding about what "good" food is. Check out the link below. It really helped me when I started working out and taking nutrition more seriously:
http://simplesciencefitness.com/#diet
That's a cool site
Everyone posting here is a "girly man". Not my words, but from a food market review that I was reading recently.
Greek yoghurt + honey + almonds is a good, high protein/good fat snack, tastes bloody great too.
Key in terms of fat is good fats rather than bad fats, Avocados are great for good fats. Given that every cell in your body has a phospholipid bi-layer and the myelin sheath around your never endings both of which contain fat, cutting out of your diet completely like some do is not a great idea! It's all the shitty processed fats that stop you getting that six pack!
I usually go with brazil nuts (only 2-3), roasted almonds, a protein bar, greek yogurt or half an avocado.
Cigarettes and caffeine. What more do you need?
2 slices of low calorie Sara Lee bread, 3 egg whites, 1 slice of turkey bacon, 1 slice of low calorie cheese, and siracha sauce.
NUTS NUTS NUTS
Really though I avoid carbs and try to incorporate foods with a higher protein-calorie ratio. Good ideas include eggs for breakfast, nuts, avocados, hummus, nut butter (preferably unsalted), greek yogurt with fruit/granola (although this can turn into a calorie bomb quickly), and I also try and drink more water and chew gum to stave off hunger and keep my stomach occupied.
People get into trouble by avoiding all fats and eating excess carbs. Carbs spike your blood sugar, result in drowsiness, and lead to weight gain. On the other hand, protein and healthy fats make you feel full and give you more energy. They are far more efficient to run your body off of. The more colorful, green, or leafy vegetables you can eat the better. Fruit and lean protein are also good choices.
I just look at nutrition labels and calorie websites. I find stuff that makes me feel more full with fewer calories. And I try to keep a very rough mental tally of my calories during the day.
All of this contributes to me keeping my diet under control and the non-machine learning process of figuring out what makes me full on fewer calories.
Try downloading the MyFitnessPal app. Great way to accurately track calories for most days a week, and there are so many submissions that I don't have to work hard to find a good estimate for almost anything I eat.
slim jims
pistachios
Would have to say: - Oatmeal with some cinnamon, strawberries, bananas and protein powder - Apples or Celery with peanut butter - Kind bars - Cottage cheese - Quinoa
Ultimate morning snack though is two eggs scrambled on a Ezekiel toast with some peanut butter, spinach, onions, and jalapenos.
Cottage cheese mixed with peanut butter and stevia. Super good and usually over 25g of protein.
The best snack of all snacks (assuming you're a man)
Mix 1 cup oats, 2 tbsp natural pb, cinnamon, .5 scoops chocolate whey, some milk, and fresh berries (straw/blue/rasp). It's basically a natural/clean homemade cliff bar
