[dukelax47]

[ShazamLax25]

Grilled Cheese. That's what i always have i when i want a snack.

[tkdlaxer]

Mmm this is making me hungry. Somtimes I snack on special k bars...they are tastey, I dont know how healthy they are though.

Wow, grilled cheese as a healthy snack..no offense to you shazam, but this is why you talk things on message boards with a grain of salt.

[kevidinho]

Yeah when I saw the grilled cheese, I just thought..butter, cheese, and (probably) white bread.

But I always have granola bars. Nature Valley and stuff like that.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

fruit, some of those 100 calorie packs are pretty decent.

[laxman359]

grilled cheese doesnt have to be with american cheese white bread and butter i make mine with rye cheddar and bake it...thats where its at. and to stick with the thread clif bars, and nature valley peanut butter bars, apples, yogurt

[Canadian Lax]

baby carrots with low fat ranch dip or regular rach whatever is in the house.

Home made nachos (baked in the oven) if those count as healthy....they have tomatoes, onions,olives, and chesse :) kinda healthy

[MaKiMaKi13]

some sort of protein shake , or a salad without dressing

fruits like bananas and apple like Xeclipse19 mentioned are always good

[benjamming18]

Best snack ever= Banannas and peanut butter on a toasted bagel. I geuss if the bagel is whole grain its not bad for you, its good with honey on top I'm not sure the nutritional value of that.

[NuKoN]

Must say, those Nature Valely things are fawesome.

Thanks for your help. :chair:

[RgLax]

apples con pb
or pita chips(gotta be naked and baked)

[ByrdDpole]

Yep.

Grilled CHicken. Like the stuff that comes in bags that you put in salad.

[KUjayhawks42]

I usually just have a pb and j sandwich or a turkey sandwich.

[Lax.53]

depending on what your goals are for you body... (bulking, cutting, maintaining etc.)

Almonds Dry roasted (nothing with added salt or flavor)
Apples
Any kind of vegetable
Beef Jerky (in moderation due to high sodium)
NATURAL peanut Butter
Protein Powder shakes (with milk or water)

Stay away from cereal bars or those 100 calorie cookie packs as theyre all high in sugar and highly refined grains, and are nowhere near nutrient dense.

[Khaos]

sum of the best stuff include Yogurt cliff bars or the army made HOOAH bars (my favorite) this is what i eat added to speghetti for a pregame meal.

[MaKiMaKi13]

yea just to reiterate what Lax.53 stay away from most things that are high in sugar like High Fructose Corn Syrup which can be found in soda and a lot of the cereal bars and such

[CHSlax]

kashi granola bars i recomend the trail mix flavor.

[DutchyLacrosse]

Vegetables, fruits, grilled meat (especially chicken) pasta's, any dairy products to be replaced with soy milk and stuff.

Ask Mavido, he's a vegan and a health freak i think.

[CharI3Y]

friuts and vegetables for sure
eat things that have whole grain ect.
oatmeal or cereal is always a good breakfast to fill you up and is still healthy

but make sure you stay away from things that have High Fructose Corn Syrup because that actually makes you hungrier

[Meade Lacrosse]

Deli style Turkey on Whole Grain is good... I think.... I do it all the time....


It better be good.

[CSlax06]

Is there any meat thats good for you?

[MaKiMaKi13]

Is there any meat thats good for you?

yea but you gotta self prepare it like cut the fat completely off your chicken and then cook it

its a lot more trouble then its worth in my opinion then just eating some PB

[faceofflax15]

I like apples with peanut butter.

Bananna's with peanut butter also.

[Lax.53]

Is there any meat thats good for you?

the majority of meat is good for you, the sodium in most lunch meats does not matter due to the fact that turkey, chicken, most hams, all have high protein content and are all relatively sound sources of lean protein. However most pastramis, bolognas, and other meats are highly fat laden and not as lean as turkey or chicken breast would be.

[palmerkswiss]

yea just to reiterate what Lax.53 stay away from most things that are high in sugar like High Fructose Corn Syrup which can be found in soda and a lot of the cereal bars and such

high fructose corn syrup is the worst thing for you and most common on the food market. stay away from it the best you can. if you like gatorades and such don't think powerade is just the same because powerade is made with high fructose corn syrup and gatorade isn't. so stick with gatorade, and gatorade tastes 1000 times better too.

[laxpro]

Low calorie doesn't always mean healthy.

You guys are all saying how bad fat and sodium is for you. I am not saying it isn't, but just remember these 3 words: Everything in moderation

[CustomX157]

Protein shake, it lasts you through the game, and then you are super hungry afterward.

[RichWutLax]

cut a red pepper in half scoop out the guts , crack an egg inside ..put it in the microwave ...eat it ... never done it but it was suggested as a snack at the gym

[madisonlax2]

suprisingly low fat foods are actually unhealthier for you then the non low fat food. the chemicals the company puts into the food that gets rid of the fat is acually unhealthier then the fat itself.
-my 2 cents

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

I always go for natural peanut butter on whole grain bread. You get some good fats in and carbohydrates.

If I am looking for something with high protein, I go for a smoothie with some protein powder. Check out my recipe thread for some great ideas!

[the wister]

Carrots, nix the ranch, celery + peanut butter, or just cell if you can take it, fruit, yogurt, nuts, dried fruit (prunes, craisins, apricots), granola, oatmeal (not really a snack but only takes 2 minutes to make), microwaved pork rinds (there's only like 1 brand), real Amish beef jerky, cheese.

Most deli meats are loaded with salt/sodium, but if you want, go for turkey, and look for something that's white, not translucent. Roast beef isn't so great and almost anything labelled wurst is trouble.

Something few people know: real butter is better for your health than margarine/spread/fake butter. Butter is milkfat and salt, saturated fats, while margarine is unsaturated vegetable oil with artificial trans-bonds, aka, trans fats. The trans bonds allow the oil to solidify at higher than usual temperatures. Basically it's chemically engineered vegetable oil. It's less fattening, but long term studies are just starting to reveal that because of their chemical structure they are worse for you in the long run for several health reasons, one of them being cancer.
