Nutty Protein

My secret to better snacking is I have a ready supply of almonds on my desk so when I am hungry I can snack on the almonds. They fill me up and I am not as hungry so I snack less. Plus it is a great source of the good fats and protein.

Protein Intake!

I have a hard time meeting the minimum requirement for protein intake...until I discovered lightly sea-salted edamame. 13g of protein per 1/4 cup!! Now it's part of my morning snack and I can pass on the nuts which are so high on fat. I can a slightly nutty taste from the edamame.
