What foods do you snack on??
I'm trying to get all of my calories in but I'm finding it difficult. At the end of the day I go to log my day and it tells me I need to eat more. If i go eat veggies it's still too low in calories but I don't want to snack on carbs and junk so late. What are some go to snacks that you have to help with your calorie intake?

In the evening, I like seeds. Yes, they have a lot of fat, but it is good fat and they don't cause a spike in blood sugar. I like 2 tablespoons of seeds.0

I second the seeds, I love a handful of pumpkin seeds sprinkled with cinnamon. It balances blood sugars so it stops food cravings and also gives me some healthy fats.0

If I have calories left I eat a special k protein bar, I always get sweet cravings at night so this cures it0

Graze snacks are my favorite because they have a great balance of protein, carbs and fat. Otherwise, it's typically Greek yogurt or cheese or protein bar with an apple, or a whole grain English muffin with ricotta and honey or nut butter.0

Bread, cheese, butter, nuts, etc are some of my favorite snacks besides fruits and veggies.0

You could also analyze your diet here as a whole...my guess is that you've cut out a good deal of dietary fat...so get more of that. Saute or roast your veggies in some good oil, us full fat salad dressings, eat cheese and other full fat dairy, etc.0 -
Clif Crunch bars, Nature Valley bars, Nature's Path bars, light butter popcorn0
