Our Nutrition Client’s Favorite Healthy Snacks

By

If you follow me on Instagram stories or read through my daily eats posts, you know that I’m definitely a snacker! Whether it’s just a small bite pre-workout or a mid-afternoon snack while prepping dinner, I love a good snack. I generally like eating medium-to-large size meals with snacks in-between. This keeps me from getting hangry in between meals and then going overboard on my portions because I’m starving. This is what works for me, but everyone’s different. For clients on a CNC Macro Plan, we love the back-and-forth communication and experimentation to find the eating habits and lifestyle that best works for them.

As much as I love my snacks, it’s so easy for me to get into a major rut,. I’m always on the hunt for new ideas to keep my eats fun and exciting, so I asked the CNC Nutrition & Accountability Group for suggestions. I received SO MANY great ideas and had to share them on the blog. I am definitely planning a few of these into my meal plan next week, and I hope they give you some new ideas to try out as well!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
