What should your snacks consist of?
The most ideal snacks are balanced containing low sugar and high fiber carbohydrates, protein and healthy sources of fat. Combining all macronutrients together will help you stay full and satisfied until the next meal.
Tip: plan out your snacks for the week by pre-portioning them into little baggies

What’s the best bar?
Many bars are loaded with sugar and carbohydrates or only high in protein. You want a bar that’s balanced with carbs, protein and fat. If a bar has sugar listed in the first 3 ingredients, put it back on the shelf.
Tip: Try The Perfect Bar Minis, RX bars or Low Sugar Kind Bars
How to plan for success?
When you know you are going to be on the road or traveling, try to bring something with you to hold you over and avoid the drive thru. Try bringing an apple with nuts or a balanced bar. Consider packing a little cooler if you know you will be in the car all day to bring your lunch and snacks with you.
Should you drink your calories?
It is much easier to drink your calories than eat them, which means the calories can add up quick! There could easily be 500-600 calories in one smoothie with all the fruit and other ingredients. Smoothies can be quick and easy options when on-the-go, just beware of how much you are packing into that little cup!
Tip: when making a smoothie just use one serving of fruit, load up on veggies such as spinach or kale and add a little healthy fat from nut butter or avocado.

Meet Mike
I was sick and tired of how I looked and felt. I was on Facebook and saw the New You Challenge. I did not know where it was at or what in involved. I saw that it created a meal plan and was obviously at some type of gym.
When I saw it was at Skeetown Crossfit, I was a bit apprehensive. I have always scoffed at Crossfit. Well, I jumped in with both feet, joined the challenge and I was hooked. I loved the atmosphere of the gym and the coaches. They truly care about you and how you are doing. They make sure you are doing the movements correctly unlike other “boot camp” type places. I am still on the meal plan today. The challenge was 6 weeks. I lost 28 pounds, and 6% body fat plus 10 total inches in the right spots. I feel better, look better, am stronger and more confident. I decided to commit to year membership at Skeetown Crossfit. I am hooked. This is what I needed to be the healthiest me i can be. Thank you to Erica, Adrian and Nate.
