in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I have a pretty packed schedule. Work from 4:45-4 or 5, then head straight to school for class 6-10 pm. Only time I have to eat is 30 min for lunch and dinner after class. Im the type that can’t sit down and eat big square meals, i have to spread it out through the day. But any sort of snack thats somewhat healthy is either really expensive or hard to eat while trying to hammer stakes into the ground. Any suggestions? 5’10, 130 pounds.

    Nuts, dried fruit, crackers, protein shakes with full fat dairy

    Rice cakes ... PB ... beef jerky ... make your meals in advance and have them ready in the morning ... sounds gross but drinking liquid (pasteurized) egg whites is filling and healthy

    And rice cakes? Hmmm
    I'd go for nuts, dried fruit, bananas, nut butters, protein shakes... I often have to eat this way during the day time and find I can easily reach my calorie goal.
    And, if you can manage to fit in a decent breakfast before you have to leave for work, it helps - something quick like porridge or Granola with full fat milk?

    Ps forgot to mention chocolate! The dark type supposedly "healthier" but also lower in calories. Plus you can't go wrong with a snickers bar!

    If dairy is not a problem then try cheese and peanut butter sandwiches.
