Title: Quick snacks? Which ones?
Post by: DNewbie on January 08, 2006, 11:58:39 AM: While at work, I need something that is quickly eaten that will keep me going throughout the day. Granola Bar? Cereal Bar?

Any and all suggestions appreciated!

Milk, coconut, cranberries, sunflower seeds....

Sure but in minimal amounts. Anything labeled "recovery bars" should have at least some oats in there.

I usually eat them with a shake for a snack, or a chicken breast and spinach salad for a meal. Actually, though, i've been eating them b/c i like the taste; the healthiness is just a perk.

Post by: SLYY on January 12, 2006, 02:01:21 PM: I like balance bars as a quick snack....they have 15 grams of protein (not that great, but not bad), somewhere around 20 something grams of carbs and six grams of fat. They are great on the run and best of all taste good, at least the fruit on and the chocolate carmel. You should be able to find them at any large grocery store....
