It does make a lot of sense that I need more energy...
Do you have any recommendations for not too unhealthy snacks? I'd go with cereal bars but they actually are quite sugary/unhealthy and hella expensive :/
I'm still discovering that myself 😅 It can be hard to find nutritionally balanced snacks, so I like to keep a variety around. Things that I like to have around are popcorn/potato chips, fresh veggies, tortilla chips and salsa, lunch and snack meats, and of course some sweets like gummy candies and chocolate. I try not to eat too much of one thing. If you're thinking about reaching for a whole bag of chips, maybe make a sandwich instead.
Oh carrots are an amazing idea I just thought of! But thank you for the ideas c:
I always keep a supply of nuts, mainly cashews and salted peanuts, on my desk to snack on during the day. Healthy fats!
Oh that'd an amazing idea too. Nuts fill your stomach nicely too
I cook myself. Always the same thing. Noodles with vegetables. You just chop the vegetables to small pieces, throw it in the water, add noodles, cook as long as the noodles take to be done, then add spices, tomato juice, herbs, oil. Done, and delicious. You can eat many small portions throughout the day.
It's cheap ($5/day) and delicious, nutritionally balanced.
Oh my god. The first actual quick and cheap recipe I read on the internet. Instantly added to my cookbook, tysm!
I'm craving ramen now, thanks 😅
