What Does My Trainer Eat – For Snacks?

Lately, these have been my go-to snacks between breakfast and lunch or lunch/dinner.Â All three have carbs and protein and are low in sugar. The Larabars have more sugar because they are made from real fruit…but that kind of sugar is ok! I buy the bars at Whole Foods and the almonds at Target. You can do plain almonds or other flavored almonds, as long as you don’t chose ones that are high in salt/sodium or sugar, which is added to a lot of nuts to make them taste better.

Details (per serving):

Mini Larabars: 90 cal, 5g fat, 0mg sodium, 2g protein, 9g sugar,
Think Thin Bites: 100 calories, 4g fat, 105mg sodium, 6g protein, 0g sugar
Emerald Coco Roast Almonds – Dark Chocolate. 150 cal, 13g fat, 25mg sodium, 6g protein, 1g sugar

Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
