Snacking on Protein

pretzels_better_balanceFour months ago, I was thinking of buying my own carbohydrate supplements. Hunny drinks protein shake everyday and I thought I needed more carbs to gain weight. I have read on one health blog that in order to gain more weight, I should be consuming more proteins.

That’s a great idea. I won’t be needing to buy my own separate supplements. Anyway, when I make boyfriend his protein shake, I always add more to the usual measurement for me. (hehe)

When I was pregnant with Yzabella, that’s the time I started trying to live healthy. I eat apples, drink pineapple juice, and munch on cereals. I used to love eating chips (aka junk food) but now I diverted that “munching” habit to munching cereals instead.

In one local shop, I have found protein snacks and they look like choco-coated wafers with pop rice. Here’s another fine selection from Kay’s Naturals. Other products include Pro-Stat, BariCare, Ostrim, Syntrax Nectar, Tri O Plex,Proteinex. Oh.. how I love to buy those! I would munch on them while I’m running walking on the streets. Munching would take away my boredom from walking the same path 5 times in 1 hour.

Have you noticed? I’m a snacker. I used to buy squash and watermelon seeds, peanuts and cashew nuts. I would chew on them like there’s no tomorrow.

Same here! I love to take snacks, especially after siestas! (which I take a lot of) I go for the local brands since they are a lot cheaper.

So, here I am, just finished three, make that, four slices of pizzas. Sarap! hehehe.
