Smart snacking is important when trying to lose weight. One of the tricks to eat clean is to not let yourself get too hungry in between meals. It is also wise to bring your own food with you whenever possible. I bring my own snacks on airplanes, all day outings, when I run errands, to work. I could go on, but I will spare you. Now that you are eating clean, you need a list of high protein, healthy go-to snacks to carry with you. If you do not have a cooler, get one today. We carry the perfect size coolers Mo-Mentum Fitness, check with our Directors of First Impressions for more information. You can also find coolers on Amazon and in most Targets etc.
