    Low carb desserts?

    Try sugar free chocolate pudding mixed with uncooked old fashioned oats and scoops or 2 of chocolate protein powder. Let it cool and set overnight and it makes a yummy snack. Skip the oats if you don't want the carbs.

    Egg White ideas

    Also, if egg whites are not your preference, ask your trainer about tofu if that's a better option. It is also low in calories and has a ton of protein. Good luck!!

    Favorite Pre Workout Snack?

    Yum!! I agree - bananas are great as a post workout snack. I used to have a lot of problems with my toes cramping up and it was due to potassium depletion after a workout (sweating a lot), so bananas really helped prevent my crams.

    Favorite Pre Workout Snack?

    Hi everyone!! I am writing an article about best pre-workout snacks. Would love to hear about your favorites! Mine is peanut butter with a few slices of apples. I try not to overdo it with carbs, so I can burn the stored carbs instead of the ones I eat right before hitting the gym.
