Snacks for 5-6x eating

See related article

Terry,

Here's some ideas for your snacks:

1) Beef/Turkey or chicken jerky.

2) Protein Bars-My personal favorites are O-Yeah. Available in three flavors with as much as 30g of protein. Tastes a lot like a candy bar. GNC or good supplement store will have these.

3) Smoothie with protein powder. Optimun Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is my personal favorite. My favorite smoothie is Optimums's Strawberry powder, a banana, some frozen blueberries, a little ice, a little water and a cup of low fat milk.

4) Almonds (Raw...the smoked and smokehouse ones have too much sodium.

5) Natural Peanut butter with an apple

Hope this works but you will definitely have more success eating 5-6 x a day vs three squares. Good Luck!
