Healthy snack suggestions?

emverghese

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, and am working to get on track to loose the 25lbs that I've been carrying around since having my son two years ago. I really need some suggestions on healthy easy snacks. Specifically I need to find something to keep me full and energized in the late afternoon before my workout. I try to keep my calories down during the day, but can end up hungry and munching on all the wrong things when I walk through the door after work. Can you guys suggest some of your favorite pre-workout snacks?

Hi!! Some healthy snacks that work for me:

raw almonds (handfull)
celery and peanut butter
string cheese sticks
yogurt cups

all of these are quick and easy to grab when you come in the door starving! I also try to drink a lot of water constantly throughout the day which helps keep my hunger/cravings at bay.

hope this helps! good luck

Banana for weight lifting or long session of cardio. It's easy to eat and it's not messy. I can eat while I'm driving.
Other cardio work out, I just drink caffeine or coffee so I have a little of energy to burn fat..
