Proper snacks when you are on the run are the keys to success in being Lean-Fit-Healthy. Although preparation is key, you have to arm yourself with strategies when you forget to pack snacks or in my case ‘Starvin Marvin’. Check out the post below and let me know what yalls think.
There you have it folks, having the proper solution and strategies are the small things that over time pay dividends in the fat loss game. Whenever I forget to pack my snacks for the day I pop into the nearest grocery store and stock up

Hey Ron
It’s true – walnuts are a superfood. Very high in polyunsaturated fats, which we need to chase down or we won’t get them (they’re too rare). Heart health, brain, nerve, mood etc.
For emergency snacking however you missed the most important thing – protein. Always start your snack or meal by choosing the protein.
Nuts are mostly fat. they only have a few grams of protein. yogurt and berries are both high sugar low protein choices.
Here is how you can improve snacks:
change the yogurt and fruit to cottage cheese (pressed) WITH 5-10 … WALNUTS
this way you get protein, carbs AND fat together. Every time you eat it should contain this balance
walnuts, chicken, vegetables
hummus and vegetables
protein powder and yogut and 5 walnuts
Proper nutrition in real life is making the best choice you can in the situation you’re in. Knowledge is usually the first limiting factor and i’ve taken care of that. Planning is usually barrier #2. Keep snack foods handy and cook extra food when you cook.
