Snacks are generally: 1/4 bar Dark chocolate and almonds, Beef jerky and nuts and/or fruit, macaroons. Also, I keep in whey protein in post workout.even during the challenge.
where or what kind of beef jerky…..I see some in stores but it has soy..?? and what about pork rinds..yes or no?
I have some jack links jerky that does not have soy in it. One of our members, Pat Dever, gave me a bunch. If you remind me I’ll give you a bag to try. Pork rinds are ok, Just check the ingredients. None of these are optimal, but do fine as snacks occasionally.
We keep a decent amount of carbs in our diet. If you are looking to lean out quickly, you might considers a little less carbs. Don’t drop them entirely, because you do need glycogen to fuel your training.
If you have questions, fire off.
I just looked at the coconut oil label. What’s up with saturated fat? Quite a difference when compared to olive oil so why are they both ok?
Explanation of saturated fat:
