Animal_Nerd Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 So I work with animals, and a lot of the time, there's no break until all the animal care is done. For example, I had breakfast at about 6:15 this morning, then lunch at 2 pm. No break in between for snacks or even to refill my water, really. I'm sure this isn't the best for me. What are some easy snacks that I can just carry with me that don't need refrigerated or anything like that? I could carry chips but we all know that's a bad option. Thanks in advance!

esteel Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Actually.. do you really need snacks? There is quite some interesting stuff about intermittent fasting. With your kind of work schedule it might actually fit quite nicely if you are interested in it..Take a look at those sites if so:http://www.marksdailyapple.com/health-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting/http://www.marksdailyapple.com/fasting-questions-answers/http://www.warriordiet.com/content/view/24/35/http://www.precisionnutrition.com/intermittent-fasting Level 2 Human Ranger-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------STR 7.7 CON 4.8 Battle Log We are Rangers.DEX 2.0 WIS 2.9 We walk in the dark places no others will enter.STA 4.9 CHA 3.3 We stand on the bridge, and no one may pass.

Lefeux Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I do the intermitent fasting on days that I dont lift. I have dinner around 1800 (6pm) and then don't eat lunch until around 1130 or noon. I do take a 13g BCAA before all my workouts so I am not fasting on a totally empty stomach. Once I got past the initial OMG WTH are you doing that my stomach would give me, I haven't seemed to have too much problems. My average lunch and dinner comes in around 800 calories a piece meaning I am shaving about 250 a day off plus the work outs.

Lefeux Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 After reading the last article about Dr. Berardi, I am thinking of changing my 16/8 from 6pm to noon to noon to 6 am which allows me to work out and eat afterwards. Its also allows me to eat breakfast which since I don't prepare it allows me to count on having something good, and offers bacon and eggs. Sounds like a plan. Starting on Monday. Although I could do it tomorrow on my day off, but I would have to get up at 4 am. Since I have problems sleeping on Sunday nights because of the sleeping in, perhaps thats worth a shot too..hmmmm.

shiggles Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Jerky and nuts.There isn't any reason you need to eat between those times, even if you do that every day. You should stay hydrated though. "I lift heavy things. Sometimes these things are people." Link to comment
Animal_Nerd Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thank you everyone for your advice! I get so hungry during the day because of the constant physical activity, so when lunch comes around, I'm eating everything I can get my hands on. Then I feel super gross. I'm definitely going to start carrying something around with me so I don't turn into a eating machine at lunch. "Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens." - J.R.R.

DaygloNirvana Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 While chips might not be the greatest idea, what about some dried fruit or nuts? Or perhaps some fruit leather (dehydrated fruit strips)? I also agree, larabars are really good. “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may.
