Best TASTING Supp SNACKS!

get.CAPITAL · 05-23-2007, 04:17 AM

I work in Afghanistan and spend 12 hours of everyday on the job - due to distance vs. time restraints I can't get to dining facility for every meal. OBVIOUSLY this is a huge problem.

So what kinda snacks should I get? Keep in mind I'm in Afghanistan - so gimme some stuff I dont need to refrigerate cuz it just isn't a luxery available? Anyone try those cookies some of these protein companies make? Which ones are the BEST OF THE BEST? Before I vanish ...

i like healthy cheat foods peanut butter cookie mix, although it tastes more like oats than peanutbutter

I'm not necessarily look for a cheat food - just something for convenience. Well, I don't know would these products be considered cheat foods?

I think Cytosport makes a MuscleMilk pudding right? I'm not a big pudding fan but convenience is of the essence. Looking for quick-fast-won't make me vomit!

cookie mix? like the kind you have to refrigerate? kinda lookin for sh!t that can be kept in my pocket, glove box, or desk drawer.

no its a dry mix you mix with water and cook for 10 mins, the name of the company is healthy cheat foods. the cookies themselves have a 40/40/20 macro ratio... when im bulking i put 4 of these in my pocket to eat between breaks at work...because unlike protein bars they will not melt in my pocket lol

I'm looking for something I can grab offline ... I have no clue where the closest 24hr Fitness is in Afghanistan. Is this the only place to get them? What kind of flavors do they have?

If you can, get some low sodium beef jerky. It's a great high protein snack.

get.CAPITAL · 05-23-2007, 05:35 AM

not a bad idea - I'll check around for some!

protein bars

protein popcorn

beef jerky

A great "on the go" high protein snack that will hold up in the heat, is Ostrim.
It's a high quality Slim Jim type snack made of Ostrich and Beef but much better tasting. A box of 12 usually runs about $15.....the protein is in the mid teens.

I think the Original MET-Rx BIG 100 bars would be good also as they do not have a chocolate coating, so will be fine in the heat...

sustain bar.
vpx zero impact bar.

ostrim jerky (ostrich jerky)

bag of plain old oats

Anyone try those cookies? I've already wasted too much money this year being a guinea pig to supplaments. Fuk it, maybe I'll just try 'em. Hoping to find some stuff that definitely tastes like cheating ... only it isnt.

IMO Labrada makes the best protein cookies on the market. Look in to them. Also any oat based bars are less likely to melt so look into OatRageous by Promax or something along those lines. If you are looking for something on the cheaper side, my buddy in Iraq has me send them all of the time, regular beef jerky like Jack Links. It comes in like 5 or 6 flavors and it is actually pretty healthy stuff, high in sodium but other than that its cool.
