Thanks to Pinterest this evening I've come across a LOT of good suggestions and wanted to share them.

Post workout snacks are very important to keeping the metabolism going and giving your body the fuel it needs to build muscle! On that note, never workout with an empty stomach because your body will burn muscle before fat and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn! Tricky tricky.

Post Workout Snack Ideas:
1. 4 oz. lowfat cottage cheese (81 calories) mixed with half a cup of diced fresh pineapple (41 calories): 122 calories
2. One extra small apple (53 calories) with one tablespoon peanut butter (94 calories): 147 calories
3. 15 baby carrots (53 calories) with two tablespoons of hummus (70 calories): 123 calories
4. One Horizon organic mozzarella cheese stick (80 calories) and 15 grapes (51 calories): 131 calories
5. 6 oz. container of Peach Chobani Greek yogurt: 140 calories
7. One small banana (90 calories) with eight raw almonds (55 calories): 145 calories
8. 6 oz. Horizon Organic Low-Fat Chocolate Milk (126 calories) or 8 oz. Silk Chocolate Soymilk (138 calories)
9. Half a Luna Protein Chocolate Bar (85 calories) and eight medium strawberries (31 calories): 116 calories
10. Trail mix made with 15 peanuts (87 calories) and a mini box of raisins (42 calories): 129 calories
11. Half a cup of shelled edamame (100 calories) drizzled with two tablespoons of Annie's Gingerly Vinaigrette Dressing (40 calories): 140 calories
