October 07, 2011The orange is great and adding a few nuts or slices of deli meat will make you fuller and closer to the 30% protein goal.

October 07, 2011Okay, a hard boiled egg and an apple. A bag of just a handful of almonds or cashews with carrots. 2 tblsp of hummus or guacamole with 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, celery and snap peas. There’s three!

October 07, 2011I was going to guess 200 but 165, that’s great. I like to eat an apple and a handful of tamari almonds for a snack. And of course, homegrown tomatoes when they are in season. I also like to eat these bars called “Diabeteze”. I know, unfortunate name… we’ve taken to calling them DB bars. But they are super filling and I think well-balanced. Here’s the stats: 180 calories, 9g fat, 5g fiber, 18g carbs, 10g protein. They have loads of vitamins and use organic agave syrup as the sweetner. They have no wheat, gluten, soy protein, or artificial ingredients. I usually have one for breakfast and I am satisfied until lunch.
