I am in my second month of insanity and I am supposed to be eating 1800 calories a day. It's supposed to be 5 meals a day adding up to 1800 calories. So I can eat 400 for breakfast, 300 snack, 400 lunch, 300 snack and 400 dinner. I can figure out what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but can't come up with things to eat that add up to 300 for a snack...it has to by something that I can eat at my desk while at work.

    couple slices of PB toast
    Granola or protein bar
    Cheese (3 slices is about 300 cals)

    Heck I could eat about anything - I usually keep breakfast and lunch to around 300 and save my calories for dinner - so it shouldn't be too difficult.

    1/3 of a cup of macadamia nuts is 300 calories. Make sure you measure it and don't just grab from the bag. Very healthy fat. I eat 1/4 cup each day as I am shooting for 200 calories with healthy fat. Costco has a huge bag that helps cut down the cost.
