What are some things that you ALWAYS have on hand? I know that I try to keep yogurt, fruit and some kind of cracker to snack on, sometimes peanuts (not a big nut fan!). I know I need some more options, I used to eat one big meal a day and then have a snack somewhere in there too. I am trying to be more "healthy" and eat smaller more frequently, but I feel like I just don't have enough food around to sustain eating so many times in a day! SO...thought it would be fun to see what others keep on hand for their snacks!

Greek or regular yogurt. Often I buy nonfat just because it's lower in calories.
Bread = toast w/ almond butter or jam. Or both.
I just ate a leftover hamburger patty for a high-protein snack.
String cheese
Almonds
Whatever veggies I've purchased recently and had the foresight to cut up. Today it was bell peppers.
Milk + whey powder = high protein snack
Oreos You know, for sometimes. Not every snack.
Ice cream. A serving or two of light or slow-churned ice cream is often < 300 cal.0 -

It's not the end of the world to have to get up and leave the house to get something to eat, it's about 50 yards to walk to the shops.0 -
I just started making a big batch of quinoa once a week with a few fish steaks steamed in the same pan as the quinoa. I add whatever veg is in the fridge that I need to cook (like this week - the spinach that only has another day or two - booo) and put it in a few individual serving sized tupperware dishes and the rest in a big tuppy for easy fridge to bowl transport. Quick, microwaveable, and filling! If only I would stick to one serving though, I have been going for the full 450 calories because I'm naughty and eat all the things.0

There is nothing specific I ALWAYS have on hand.
I ALWAYS have:
Some kind of nut.
Some kind of fruit.
Some kind of protein.
Some kind of vegetable.
Some kind of grain.
Some kind of seasoning.
Some kind of oil.
Something I've never tried before or haven't had in a long time.
Variety is key.0 -
String cheese or sticks of colby cheese
Greek yogurts (flavors both my husband and I like)
Special K cracker chips
Potatoes (we "bake" them in the microwave for a quick starch side to dinner)
Lately, been having a lot of popcorn too
I really should keep more fruit and veggies around, but we don't go through them fast enough.
And, you don't HAVE to eat several small meals per day. As long as your total calories are within your goal, you should be fine.0 -
Fridge: plain Greek yogurt, Babybel cheese, natural cheddar cheese block, low-fat string cheese, unsweetened apple sauce, hummus, Applegate Farms (minimally processed, nitrate free) sliced turkey & sliced ham, cucumbers, carrots, strawberries, apples, edamame, unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Pantry: Ak-Mak crackers, Triscuits w/ sea salt, bananas, Kashi Go Lean Protein cereal, natural sunflower seed butter, pistachio nuts, low-sodium canned chick peas, steel cut oatmeal, local honey, pure maple syrup, canned coconut milk, Luna Bars
I combine: Turkey/ham +cheese +crackers; hummus +carrots or crackers or cucumbers; apple + nut butter; apple +cheese +nuts; cucumbers +cheese +crackers; almond milk w/ Kashi cereal & fruit; chick peas by themselves; edamame w/ a sprinkle of soy sauce or salt; oatmeal or yogurt +berries +honey or maple syrup. Yum!
I also make a lot of smoothies by combining 1/4 cup each of coconut milk, almond milk, yogurt, a cup of fruit (plus sometimes a handful of baby spinach since you can't taste it), honey or maple syrup, ice, you can add protein powder if you want, & sometimes I add a Tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder . They are usually less than 200 calories if you don't add the protein powder. Pumpkin coconut is my new favorite (using pure canned pumpkin). Yum!0 -

There's nothing wrong with one or two meals a day, as long as your getting your calories in. Smaller, more frequent meals are no healthier than fewer, bigger meals
My staples-
Beef, usually top sirloin petite steaks (have these at least twice a week)
Pork sausage-love using this in egg scrambles, stuffed red bell peppers and stuffed mushrooms
onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, lettuce
Bananas
Plain 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt
Local honey
Eggs
Mushrooms
Butter
Shredded co-jack or cheddar
Almonds/walnuts
Regular ranch dressing, A-1 sauce
85% dark chocolate
And now that the farmers market is open for the season, misc veggies and fruit Right now it's carrots, different types of lettuce, strawberries and asparagus0 -

Today I am grilling extra chicken and will dice the left over and have it in the fridge to use for chicken salads.
I like stewing a couple of apples with cinnamon and vanilla, the storing in the fridge. I add this to my oat meal with a few pecans. A complete meal.
I eat a lot of fish. If I don't grill it then I add 1 tbsp. of olive oil to a pan and season it differently every time. Last night I did this and squeezed a lime on it with pepper.
Cut up zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, onion, peppers, tomatoes. Sautee in a little olive oil then add a little pizza sauce/spaghetti sauce. Grate some fresh parmesan on it and eat like this or serve on spaghetti.
I keep canned tuna on hand, low fat miracle whip and low fat salad dressings.
I like to take all the different citrus fruits and leave the skins on them. Scrub them, slice them and then freeze them on a single layer on a sheet tray. Once they are frozen I put them in a freezer bag and pull a couple slices out at a time and toss in my water. Very nice presentation.0
