People ask me all the time what my favorite things to eat are. Well let me tell you that I'm a VOLUME eater. Meaning, I like to eat A LOT. So I need something that fits into keeping me full and things that I can snack on all day long. Here's some of my favorites!
Breakfast!!
I LOVE http://www.betteroats.com/ They are yummy. They even have a raw version. you get a box of packets for around 1.25 at Deirburgs.
Ever heard of PB2? They have regular AND chocolate. OMG. What is it? Its basically de-fatted peanut butter thats in powder form. You can add water to it to make really yummy peanut butter OR you can add it to shakes or other things to up your protein intake! For a serving its 2 TBS for 45 calories and 1.5 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein. I'm not saying give up peanut butter all together (because its a GOOD fat), but this helps on days when you want to cut out some calories.
I put mine in my oatmeal with bananas!
So snacks????
Ok I LIVE on raw veggies. And yes, I "dress them up with ranch. But I use light ranch AND I measure it out and dip my veggies into it. Helps with portion control, I usually have ranch left and I eat a LOT of veggies. The one big thing I suggest is to make sure you pre cut all your veggies OR you wont eat them. Really. When we're wanting to snack we want something fast and easy. Convenience people! So how can you make eating veggies convenient? PRE MAKING THEM!.
Now its easy to eat them on the go and you're pretty much only getting calories from your dressing (so stick to a serving size of ranch) Looks good huh??
Remember, volume VS calories. A good book to read is "Eat this, not that" http://www.eatthisnotthatbook.com/uof/eatthisnotthatbook/2012ps/?keycode=184762
Much much much more to come. Next time I'll tackle dinner under 400 calories. YUM.
