+ 5 Snacking the Healthy way..
Hy,
My first post here.
Let's see how it goes.
So this will probably be my favorite forum, as my girl says- food is love, food is life. Hehe
I love to eat, love to go to gym. Maybe that's the whole big truth behind it. Eat a lot, train hard. Generally I tend to eat as healthy as I could possibly eat, given the fact that I really love food. But this post will be about my favorite food - snacks.
Healthy between meals snacks for me would be baby carrots, normal carrots sliced, red paprica, boiled broccoli. I really enjoy sunflower seeds, and nuts. All kind of nuts.
I consider myself an expert in sunflower seeds. Hehe. I am really choosy regarding them. But that's like a (Must have item) when I watch a movie or some series on TV.
When I'm working I pack with me or buy in local grocery shop - Indian, ground nuts. Almonds or pistachio. Love them.
So in coffee break when everyone is smoking. I just drink my coffee and eat nuts.
That's just me. What about you. What is that you snack on? Or do you snack at all.
There may be a lot of compounds around that can help you reach the peak, gain mass better, cut faster. But what I know for the fact is that if your diet is not in check - all that is useless or even bad for you.
And agien, quoting my girl! Food is love, food is life.

basskiller89Hello brother,
I see you like baby carrots and "all kinds of nuts"
lol
Hello Sir,
This is quite a serious subject when it comes to dieting and losing body fat. How many times you hear athletes or people that have nothing to do with fitness saying: "I do not eat anything and my weight doesn't go down". Majority of these people do not even realize how many calories you get from so called "snacking" and most of them would not even remember that they had that snack at all. You can easily pick up 300-500 calories (that can be a calorie deficit that you need to start losing body fat in the first place) from just having couple biscuits or fruits and without even realizing it, then a week later you step on scales, look in the mirror and do not notice any changes - well this is quite a common mistake. Also every time you have that snack you spike your insulin up unnecessarily.
So I find snacking quite a bad habit that leads to negative consequences. If you feel hungry between your meals you would need to adjust your nutrition plan and maybe have a bit bigger meals/portions to fill you up while maintaining your calorie intake.
Nuts by the way can be quite high on calories and even though some are going to say "you need healthy fats in your diet" that is true but not in the amounts we normally have them.
Regards
GlassesCouldn't aggree more.
But I like to think that healthy fats from nuts and let's say avocado is beneficial for you.
But yes. You have good points there.
Not a big snacker here unless you count home made jerky
If I'm hungry in between whole food meals, that's what fresh cut veggies, liquid egg whites, and whey isolate are for.
exactly why 2 of my deer is always made in jerky, nothing like good free protein to snack on!
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or apples.
Oreo's...family size. With a half gallon of milk.
Jk...kinda.
Cottage cheese with pineapple
Peanut butter by the jar
Same here and dessert for cheatmeal hotvl pancake with Nutella and peanutbutter with peanut Chunks in it
GlassesI think I should edit the post and add that as well.
Not the peanut butter they sell everywhere, full of sugar and conservatives. But the real deal. Natural one, full of good fats.
I prefer my peanut butter with no sugar and full of liberals.
Well you do reside in one of those swanky counties if I’m not mistaken. Liberals in paradise...
its a state filled with pretentious people who pretend to be rich and drive fancy cars with their big houses so far in debt with their champagne dreams with beer pocketbooks. I'm having a very hard time fitting in still.
GlassesHahaha,
Fucking autocorect.
*conservants.
Celery and cottage cheese
I snack on T-bones and baked potatoes.
Big eater with big money...
GlassesMmmm, that sounds tasty.
Carl ?
Probably. We should set the odds and bet. Lol
GlassesAt first I thought it's one of abbreviations used here. Not very familiar with them.
So I checked here.

Diddnt find anything
I'm confused, on what are you betting?
It’s just an inside joke. Nothing to worry about.
GlassesCarl??
Never mind
cottage cheese and peanut butter are my go to snacks , not together though haha nice post +1
GlassesThanks.
I would love cottage cheese but that thing makes me so gassy, I just can't stand it.
Cottage and apples. Just one big Fart bomb.
Good thing I train alone. Who needs a spotter when you have gas...I wonder if they would kick you out of planet fitness for that?
GlassesI train alone too.
Haven't had problems with gyms by that matter. Becouse I tend not to eat above.
Gas is healthy bro and it keeps people at a safe distance...
