[Music] hey guys Jeff cavaliere back here from athleanx. com with the next installment in our series on nutrition our snacks and again my counter is filled up with a lot of food to kind of reinforce to you that you are not limited in the amount of choices that you have for snacks I think we’re just sort of limited in the ideas that we have for snacks and what really qualifies as a healthy snack so today I want to show you about five or six that you can easily take with you I know a lot of guys are busy a lot of you are on the run I want to give you some options that you can have that you can take with you be portable and make sure you get your snacks in here’s one point here guys if you’re trying to eat going from breakfast to lunch you’re generally looking at around 6 hours that 6- hour time period is way too long if you’re trying to build muscle if you want to build muscle you need to constantly feed your body every 2 and 1 half to three hours to make sure that your muscles that are trying to recover from let’s say yesterday’s work out have that constant flow of nutrients ready to be delivered to them to help the repair to help the recover to help them get bigger so you need to eat every 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours the nice side effect of that is also going to boost your metabolism and make you start to burn fat so starting off on this end here you can never go wrong with a peanut butter sandwich you want peanut butter and jelly that’s fine just choose the right kind of bread this is this is Weight Watchers bread you don’t necessarily need to have Weight Watchers but it’s a low calorie bread it’s 40 calories a slice some of the ones out there actually have like 160 to 180 calories on each slice you know some of the Seven Grain multi-grain breads just be careful with the breads that you select but a good whole wheat bread something I would say probably less than 80 calories per slice would be great for you put on your peanut butter if you want cut it into Force this way here you can grab them just in quarters you can grab them a half at a time very portable they’re not going to go bad throughout the day so that’s one good one good way to do that you can also if you want go with these single serving you know cans of tuna again they got a pop top on the top very easy for you to you know to to uh you know to bring with you to the office good source of Omega-3s uh again very easy some cheese wedges you know these little Laughing Cow they make the cheese wedge good source of protein uh individually wrapped so they’re again very portable they’re not going to go bad you can take them with you throughout the day here looking at some uh hardboiled eggs for some protein you have your yogurt you can you can mix those with just a handful of almonds you know something to give a little bit more healthy fats um what you could do if you want to is create your own and these are all included in the in the meal plans is create your own uh sort of Trail Mix bag take your almonds a handful again we don’t we don’t measure on these meal plans guys I don’t want to turn you into little robots that are taking out your measuring cups and because that’s simply not going to work it might work for you for a couple days but you’re going to get tired of having to do that and you’re not going to stick with it the important thing about the athlean xma plans is that you actually stick with these things from start to finish cuz you’ll get the tremendous results by the time you finished with the program when you when you pair it up hand in hand with the training so handful of nuts even if you want a handful of these semi chocolate right low low sugar in here they’re not as uh you know it’s not it’s not like regular chocolate mix them up handful together with the nuts uh bring out some of your favorite cereal now I know last last time a couple guys said they couldn’t get a hold of the um cashi cereal over you overseas a low sugar cereal guys something like Cheerios something like crispix something like you know that’s got some actual fiber in it low sugar we’re not talking about Lucky Charms so mix it all together it’s a good way to put a little plastic bag you have some trail mix that you can bring with you as well one of my favorites are the bars protein bars just because for me they’re extremely portable I know I’m getting enough protein in them the calories sometimes fall between that 250 to 300 calorie range which is a perfect goal for you for your snacks and uh again they to me they taste they taste pretty good so I recommend in the program uh that you know most mostly the prograde line of of uh supplements and EAS they’re both been around they’re both high quality very reputable companies you’re not going to go wrong and you’re not going to get you’re not going to delve into the unsafe things okay or some of the glorified candy bars that are out there so lastly one thing I like to do also another tip that I tell guys you’ll see in the program prograde you know workout is one of the things I recommend again very highly um uh high quality highly purified real stuff uh you can count on the quality in this and actually helping you to build muscle you take your scoop of this powder this comes in powder form take it out put in your shaker bottle in the morning okay just leave it in the bottom there when you’re ready to drink it you pour in your bottle of water and then you shake it up and you have your drink and somewhat fresh it hasn’t been sitting in there all day all right so you can actually you know maintain the freshness of this just by changing the way that you mix you know you mix it up and add your ingredients that said finally water water is key okay guys you got to make sure that you drink water with every single meal of the day the athl X meal plans the xfactor meal plans revolve around the fact that you’re going to have water every single day with every meal cuz you got to shoot for that you know 80 to 100 oz level so in order to do that take your water take a bottle of water with you each day if you have a problem getting the water down I know some guys said they can’t stand water and they can’t they can’t take it crystalite crystalite is amazing you know there comes in God knows how many flavors you know you’ll find one flavor that you like pour a packet into your water mix it up and it’ll help you to make sure you get as much as you need during the day guys all this stuff again these are just about five or six of the meal options I wanted to give you but there’s over 30 seven meal options within our meal plans just for snacks just for snacks alone the xfactor meal plans are guide friendly they don’t require to know how to measure things how to you know dose things
