Healthy Snack Ideas
Of course you should "snack". Remember we need to eat small amounts regularly and though the American public seems wrapped around three meals a day, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, we really need 4- 5 smaller regular meals, so for those in between meals we'll call them snacks! Remember, lean meats, vegetables, whole grains and fruits.

If you do not know how much you want to be consuming for each "meal" use this BMR and RMR calculator to get an idea, check estimates based on activity level. Calculator.

Almonds Roasted in Braggs Liquid Aminos - or just get some almonds. Nuts are great, high in good fats! Just don't go over board and eat a cup at a go - a small handful is plenty.

Vegetable and Hummus - This is a great portable snack. Grab your favorite vegetable (I like baby carrots, red bell pepper or celery as the vehicle) and dip them in your favorite hummus (I prefer sun dried tomato chipotle). There's also regular, garlic, kalamata olive flavors and more!

PB on Sprouted Grain Bread - Nut butters are great, you could also use almond butter, cashew butter etc. However, my favorite is a product called Naturally More Peanut Butter. Check it out: added protein and essential fatty acids, and it tastes amazing!
Apple, lean organic lunch meats, organic or alternative cheeses, rice cracker or rye cracker - okay this is the quintessential grab and go, but much healthier than any take out option. Run into the grocery store or grab from your refrigerator and shove in a tupperware container.
Bars - It is a common habit of many to rely on bars for snacks or meal replacements.  While this is not a bad option, be careful to not get sucked in to thinking that all "energy" bars are good for you. Really most of them are one step up from a candy bar. See side bar for list of favorites.
