Mid morning / Mid afternoon at your desk snacks?

[Pegasus]

So basically, currently limited to Mid morning, Sandwich or scrambled eggs & mid afternoon, sandwich or oat cakes.

Any other ideas? also, whats the nutritional benefit of Oatcakes, and what else can i put on them to 'spice them up'?

Cheers

Try and have a meal replacement shake, or a normal protein shake also try the protein bars like phd diet whey or cnp flapjacks

My mid-morning and mid-afternoon are always 140g chicken with nuts. Oatcakes are ok but bit high on the fats.

I always prepare my food the night before, cooking enough chicken or fish to last me (wear oven gloves when taking Pyrex bowls out the oven though, I'm speaking for experiance here!) I'm lucky as I work 6-2 and manage to get my breakfast at 6 with meals at 9 and 1 and im home for 2 im time to prepare my pre-workout meal.... Around 200g chicken with either salad or cashews for my 9 and 1 o'clock meals.... I'd recommend getting a little cool bag with a few ice packs to keep the chicken or whatever your snacks are nice and cool. Nothing worse than crap tasting meal.

I cook 3kg at a time to last me 3 days, wednesday chicken is always the worst as it's often just about to turn, there is nothing worse than the smell of bin chicken!

I cooked 500g for today. Had eggs for breakfast shake mid morning then ate all 500g of chicken and rice for lunch. Now I'm stuck with nothing mid afternoon lol. Greedy fookin bastard I am.

Ive taken to buying it precooked - and then just defrosting and nuking it to have it warm.

I eat alot of tuna as mid day snacks - i just buy it 'with brine' then drain it and eat it straight from the can. Also Natural yoghurt with a big scoop or protein powder and some raisens in.

Always take powder with me to make up a shake at work mid-afternoon.

I've started buying precooked frozen chicken brests, they are great, just defrost them night before :) Not sure how much water has been pumped into them though :(

i sometimes take oats in a bowl, make up some banana pharma whey and pour it on. yum yum

For a mid-morning snack I'll either take one third of a tub of natural probiotic yoghurt with two teaspoons of flaxseed and a chopped banana, or half a tin of tuna with one-quarter tin of kidney beans, a quarter-tin of sweetcorn and a small handful of pasta. Mix it up with some chilli powder and chilli sauce and you're good to go.

One of teh food companies do a ready to eat tuna meal like that - very French.

I use to enjoy a tin of tuna with a few large scoops of nat yoghurt in (instead of mayo) with chilli powder and sliced cucumber.

Always super filling!

To be honest I prefer it with cottage cheese 'cause the chilli mixes in nicely but 19p a tin on kidney beans...
