Hey I found this really great protein bar, you gotta try it.

My friend at the fitness center started making me some really great protein bars and I absolutely love them! I asked her to make them for me all the time and even started freezing them because they were so tasty.

One day I was so hungry I ate one that was still frozen! Wow, it was almost like an ice cream bar only good for you too! I wanted to have those bars in my freezer at all times after that!

Then I started feeling really bad because I was asking her to make them for me constantly. I felt like our friendship was becoming strained. I mean how many times can you ask someone to make your snacks without them getting a bit irrated with you? I wanted to keep her as a friend so I asked for the recipe. That way I could start making them myself. Well, at first she didn't want to because they were kind of her diet secret. After I bugged her enough she finally admitted she found them on the food network. I couldn't believe it!

Since I like them so much, I thought you would too. So I wanted to tell you where to get the recipe right now. It's from Alton Brown at the Food Network and it's free!!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Leave a comment and tell me what you think!

Yummo lunch

Flatbread. Huh? What's that anyway? Flatbread is the best thing to come along since sliced bread and I'm not kidding! You can turn it into a pizza, roll it with chicken breast or even toast it for your own homemade tortillas. One huge piece only has 90 calories and a whopping 9 grams of protein! You just gotta try this stuff.
2.5 ounces of chicken breast, one flat bread and an apple on the side is a great lunch.
You get all that for a mere 288 calories!!

31 grams of protein
37 grams of carbs
5.5 grams of fat

I eat it almost every day for lunch and hope you try it too.
Thanks for coming today!!

Your typical lunch time fare

While searching the internet for the typcial fast food fare I came across Subway and their menu. I see that just by avoiding the sauces and extra cheese you can save hundreds of calories. Skip the chips and soda too. Grab a glass of water, it will be better for you and you'll save some pocket change.

Let's take for instance their innocent looking wrap. Just the ranch dressing they smear on it will cost you 120 calories and a whopping 13 grams of fat. Instead load up on the vegetables. They taste great and have very few calories.

Want to add cheese to your sub? Count on adding 40 to 60 extra calories and up to another 5 grams of fat! I bet you thought they counted the cheese in the calories! I did too until I looked it up.

Bread isn't created equally either. Honey oat and italian herbs and cheese 6 inch has 50 more calories than wheat and you can add another fat gram in there too.
So what's my favorite sammie? The turkey breast on wheat win hands down. All the veggies with cracked pepper and my latest addition of oregano. No sauce is needed, it's delicious and filling too.
