I'm too busy to diet

An hour of preparation on Sunday can ensure that you have plenty of healthy snacks available for those of us on the go. Here are some examples of both items that can be prepared ahead and stored in meal/snack size portions for your busy week ahead.

Baked or broiled skinless chicken breasts (available cooked in the freezer section for the non-cooks)

Hard boiled eggs

Clean and cut mountains of cucumbers, celery, cabbage and radishes

String cheese (already comes in 1 oz. portions)

Hard cheeses such as cheddar and swiss (cut into 1 oz. portions for snacks)

Tuna and Salmon in a pouch

Sardines

Frozen cooked shrimp & peeled shrimp

Beef Jerky

Pumpkin seeds

Mixed Nuts (portion these out ahead of time as they are high in calories and easy to over eat)

Whey Protein (in the infant section of the department store is a formula carrier that just happens to carry 4 individual scoops of Whey)

Low Carb yogurt (Kroger has a good one called Carb Masters)

Sam’s Choice brand of trail mix-Nature’s Trail (has no candy or junk food) portion in ¼ cup servings (I get this at Wal-Mart)
