Subject: RE: counting calories question and how to eat more ?!? Here are some simpler things I bring to work on a regular basis for snacks. Some things are more portable than others. I carry everything in either a bento box (insulated) or a small messenger bag and have them on hand. I'm assuming you have access to hot water. Not sure if you are looking for more protein or carbs or what... nuts and raisins (1 ounce of nuts, 1/4 cup of raisins) = 320 calories cup of romaine lettuce w/sunflower seeds or almonds, 1 tsp olive oil, vinegar = approx 200 1 scoop protein and 1 packet diet hot chocolate mix = 150 dried cranberries, 1/4 cup = 130 calories packet of oatmeal = 150 calories Then there's all the obvious stuff like hard boiled eggs, wraps, fruit, etc. I'm a calorie counter too and I like it... it works for some and not for others. If you think you're getting too carried away with it, you could take a week off here and there. You'll probably find that you can "eyeball" stuff pretty well, so it wouldn't be an issue.
