Nutrition example 3) Snack 1

No bad examples this time, as I think by now you get the picture: It should be clear that you should stay away from grains and other processed foods, such as breads, bakeries, sweets, sandwiches (bread), cereals & mueslies (mostly grains), etc.

Here is what you can rather do for a snack:

  1. Get some high quality protein: How about some grass fed biltong? Try having with as little additives as possible. 40g give you about 22g of protein.
  2. Get some high quality fat. A handful of nuts (about 10 almonds, cashews, walnuts, brazilnuts or 3 macadamias) should do the trick.
  3. Fruits or vegetables. A (big) apple is the easy way to go – or 150g grapes.

It is really easy to prepare one or two of these snacks in the morning and then fall back on them as needed during the rest of the day. You have high quality protein and fat with some carbohydrates in a balanced snack meal.

Can you think of similar solutions for a snack? Post suggestions and thoughts to comments.

    Thanks for the feedback, Kerry. I mentioned a handful b/c it might not be too appealing to counts every single nut. I also put a more concrete number in brackets for someone who does not mind the counting too much.
    Yes, we are looking for quantities in good fats. Macadamias have about 3 times the amount other nuts have. To make it really accurate, one would mix 37g of biltong, with 225g of apple and 9 almonds OR 3 Macadamias. A look into our CrossFit Journal 21 (everyone got a printout, its lying in the gym and you can download it for free in the CrossFit Journal (link to the left) will go into a lot more detail.

    fun video, big J! ;) I guess grip strength is not an issue for those guys!

    So would appreciate a slightly more thorough definition of a "handful"...I see this in recipes and not quite sure what to do with it...why 10 of one kind of nut but only 3 of another? Are we looking at fat grams?
