Hi there again. I want to share my snack box idea. It idea was included in the facebook link I included of "feed me healthy"...but I'll just add some pics here in case you don't have facebook. So the idea of the snack box is to have nutritious planned grazing food. I eat a high protein breakfast. A nutritious lunch such as mexican salads or stir frys. All very lean with compmex carbs if any are had. Yesterday I cooked up pumpkin soup but added chickpeas and beans so I don't need or want bread with it. Dinner is normally a good balance of veg, ptotein and complex carbs. The grazing box stops me eating biscuits, buying cakes etc. I make nutritious mug muffins in miniture sizes (I oven bake these) . It includes fresh fruits, dips...which you can make yourself if you want and very low fat greek yoghurt sweetened with no sugar maple and fresh fruit. (Or made into a dip or tzaziki)
I pack 2 days at a time and even on weekends (which is my worst time for snacking) the first pic includes pumpkin ricotta fritters. A mini apple muffin and a mini banana pancake. Very little flour in all.
The second one has miniture tomato, basil and boccinici bites. Mini apple and date muffins, yoghurt with blueberries and no sugar blueberry maple syrup.
The 3rd one has hone cooked chicken breast meatballs. Beetroot dip with veggie sticks and a couple of bagle chips. Pear with cinnamon and mini banana pancakes.
It looks like a lot of food but it prevents me over eating and covers nutrition with what feel like treats. Brilliant for work...I work in community so lunch can be at odd times so I can have a quick nibble and keep going if need be. I have an square esky bag...the days box is packed with lunch, with ice bricks wrapped in tea towels and 2 water bottles.
I just cook up bulk foods...wrap and freeze. I pack my snack boxes when prepping for tea. They take 10 mins max if you have done some pre planning.
@SoldierCrab and I share recipe ideas and encourage each other to push our exercise as best we can. It's not just about being thin but healthy with a zest for life.
