Tasty New Snack

[Xen_Nova]

I’m commutting to school now and its hard to try to eat healthy being in college period, much less trying to gain some lean muscle while doing it.

in my backpack other than my school books I carry 4 protien shakes, assorted raw nuts(no homo), 3 large subway style sandwhiches (that i make at home), beef jerky, and 1/2gal of water…yes its a big backpack.

I found something new tho thats been great.

boiled eggs with peanut butter!

I boil about 10 eggs, and put them in a ziplock bag with a shitload of jiffy and I have something to chew on all day.

only problem is between that, protien shakes and 2 quarts of milk a day…it leaves ya with some pretty nasty farts. I mean clear a room, make em puke farts…

I would never have thought to put eggs together with Peanut Butter. Sounds nasty…but I’ll try anything once.

You don’t have to try communism to know it sucks.

At any rate, I carry around a ton of food with me all the time; I might try some of your suggestions. I put baggies of protein powder in a shaker cup, so that way, presto, preworkout, postworkout Surge + whey + casein + weee!

You drink wee. That is pretty rank. Maybe you should try Gatorade.

I usally keep food on me (in my cargo pockets) while on shift. A couple weeks ago we got into a fight with a meth head and my peanut butter sandwich got crushed and got all over my pocket.

I make my sanwiches with about an inch of PB so it was quite the mess indeed.

I also agree hard boiled eggs rock for meals to go. Im too poor for nuts though…

A ziplock bag might help.

SQUASH

And a tip to make the shells literally fall off a boiled egg. Before you put them in the pot to boil just lightly tap it and cause a small crack in the egg. Obviously don’t smash it hard or things will get messy. I’ve been eating shitloads of boiled eggs ever since I learned this little trick.

The thing I don’t like about packing eggs is their water content makes them gross once you want to eat them. Big fan of peanut butter though. I always carry around a jar of peanut butter in my backpack.

Boiled Eggs and Peanut Butter together is the greatest thing ever… I have been eating this everyday for the longest. Especially with some Cottage Cheese to go with it.

Just saw this at Poliquin’s site:

1. ‘With a Smear’: This is one of my favorite snacks, period. I take some hearts of celery and fill in the groove with some organic almond butter or peanut butter. This snack really travels well in Tupperware, and makes a terrific pre-workout snack. Why? The celery has fiber and nutrients (including calcium and vitamin A) and a ridiculously low 6 calories per medium stalk. The nut butter has protein and fat. The overall calories are low and this really fills you up without slowing you down. Great ?slow-release? energy for a terrific workout.

2. ‘The Double A’: An apple with almonds. The apple is the perfect food for a pre-workout snack. Its sugar load is very moderate, it contains valuable pectin fiber, which slows the entrance of that sugar into the bloodstream, and it?s a nutritional powerhouse containing vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. Combine it with about a dozen almonds, which add some fat and protein, further slows the entrance of the sugar into the bloodstream for sustained energy, and keeps hunger away.

3. ‘Whey to go’: Whey protein is my favorite kind of protein powder. Not only is it extremely high quality, bioavailable protein, but also it supports the immune system by providing the body with the building blocks for glutathione, arguably the body?s most important antioxidant. And studies indicate that whey protein may boost weight-loss efforts. According to one French study, consuming whey before exercise supports fat burning and may help with gaining or maintaining lean body mass. I suggest a whey protein shake made with either water alone or with frozen berries. The berries add fiber, nutrients, some extra carbohydrates, and make for a more delicious drink.

4. ‘Berry Cheesy’: Here?s a little tidbit of info for you that you might enjoy: In my latest book, ?The 150 Healthiest Foods on the Planet? (due out January 2007), I asked 16 of the best known experts in the country to contribute their personal ?top ten? list of favorite healthy foods. Berries–especially blueberries–made the list of more experts than any other food. Berries are loaded with phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber, and are low in sugar. Mix a bowl of berries with a piece of string cheese for the perfect pre-workout snack. The string cheese has 8 grams of protein, some fat to keep hunger at bay, and only about 80 calories. Plus it?s an excellent source of calcium.

5. ‘TG/Too Good’: The initials of this snack stand for turkey and grapes. It?s a perfectly matched trifecta of protein, carbs and low-calories to take the edge off your hunger and prime your exercise pump. Four small slices of deli packaged turkey contain only 87 calories but give you more than 14 grams of protein, plus some of the cancer-fighting mineral selenium to boot. A cup of grapes adds some carbs to the mix together with all the health-giving phytochemicals grapes are known for. Suggestion: Go for fresh turkey whenever possible as the packaged kind is high in sodium, and go for red or purple grapes as they have a higher antioxidant content.

I wish I had some ideas to contribute…instead, I ask of to keep those snacks coming. I’m taking notes

I will not be drinking wee, though.
