Hi to all…I am hoping for some advice on a topic that has me confused somewhat. I am trying to follow the Don’t Diet plan of JB, and in doing so, am up against a barrier. In the past, I have relied on nutrition bars (the ones that have a macronutrient profile of 40/30/30) for a healthy meal that I can eat on the go. These have been instrumental in helping me get calories in during the day, as I don’t have the time to both make and eat six/seven meals a day.
Now that I am trying to only eat P/F and P/C meals, it appears that these balanced nutrition bars would be out of the picture. Am I correct on that count? Is there any other kind of meal replacement I can use that will be both quick to prepare/consume, and would conform to the P & F and P & C protocol?? Today, I consciously went without eating these bars for the first time, and it was a real challenge to get the calories in. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
Just use low carb protein powder. Goes with anything. All you need is a cup and access to water.
Yeah, low-carb proteins can easily be used for carb/protein or fat/protein meals and snack.
They may not replace whole foods, but they are convienent. Plus, I mix my low-carb Grow! with whole foods like oatmeal and low-fat yogurt.
Hi, Lorne, I consider canned tuna portable protein. Of course, I travel with a can opener. But they do make the kind that comes in a soft, re-sealable pouch. Cooked chicken breasts in ZipLock bags work for a few hours outside of a refrigerator; i.e., at room temp (not in a hot car, though). Jerky works. Hard boiled eggs are a great P+F meal. Nuts will help you meet your fat requirements. You want raw, not toasted/roasted. I alternate between Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, walnuts and almonds.
Just tell yourself that you’re eating for form and function, not taste.
Lorne…do a search for the choc. peanut butter flax bars that you can make out of Low-carb Grow, flaxseed and natty peanut butter. These would come in very handy for your diet.
