Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody had any suggestions for quick easy snacks I could eat that would help me add a couple hundred calories to my diet.
Let me give you some background. I consider myself an intermediate/advanced lifter. (More intermediate than advanced) I am following NROL Strength 1. I have already completed hyper 1 and 2 and loved it.
I am asking for tips on quick snacks because I am a teacher and would have to eat them in the morning maybe in between classes before I eat lunch, and also between my lunch and dinner, again between classes most likely. I feel that I am getting enough calroies in my breakfats, lunch, and dinners, I am just not eating much between those. Oh, and cheap is also kind of important as, I stated before, I am a broke ass teacher.
hard boiled eggs
cheese sticks
nuts
beef jerky
protein shake protein bars (homemade)

Nuts and trail mix are a staple of my diet. Almonds, peanuts, cashews, etc., some raisens, other dried fruit. Real cheap to make yourself, too.

I often bring around some peperonni, sometimes the turkey kind. Pretty easy. Kind of $$$ though, also beef jerkey is good (good homemade.. again $$).
I usually carry around a ziplock 1/2 filled with almonds if im concerned about not making my calorie totals for the day. 20 almonds is around 170cals if I remember right.
