Eating on the Go
While browsing through magazines and watching television last night it dawn on me how although we want to eat well and workout sometimes there just isn’t enough time(So We Think) and it’s impossible to find any healthy food when you are away from home.
I just wanted to provide some quick foods that you can simply grab and go. The key thing here is that we cannot under any circumstance skip meals. By meals I mean meals or snacks. Keeping our blood sugar stable is big when it comes to losing weight or getting more toned. Also the chances of you eating more than you should is also less.
Top foods to eat while on the Run
High Fiber Cereal Bar
Almonds
Berries
Fruit Salad
Apples
Protein Shake
Low-fat Yogurt
Mini Rice Cakes
String Cheese
It’s important to throw these snacks in your “diet” between meals. A sample breakdown could be Breakfast, Mid-morning snack, Lunch, Mid-afternoon Snack and Dinner. For those who workout the break down would be Breakfast, Mid-morning snack, Lunch, Pre-workout snack(60-90 minutes prior to working out), Post-Workout Snack(Protein bar, immediately after your workout), Dinner(preferably Salad with a lean protein).
Put these snacks into your diet right now, and watch you melt fat away as long as you are a part of an effective training program as well.
If you are having problems with what you are eating, a great suggestion is to have a food diary. Right now you can have you own food diary for free at www.fitday.com. It’s easy to use and should definitely help you on your way to getting into shape.

The main reason I recommend snacks that are pretty much protein heavy Danie is because the body requires more energy to break those type of foods.
The more energy the body uses the more calories you’re burning so this is why you want to stick to things that have protein in them as snacks such as protein shakes, protein bars, almonds, and cottage cheese.

oh really? i knew that protein was good for us but I wasn’t sure why. I definitely never heard of it helping burn more calories. Thanx for the tip!
