What to do, then, when it comes to eating sensibly between meals? It is possible, with careful planning and preparation, to include snacking in the regular diet in a manner that does not sabotage training efforts that are aimed at building up the body's muscles, and improving the physique. At the same time, these same efforts can actually work together effectively toward meeting the goals set by a man in a serious program of fitness, as well as that of muscle conditioning or training.
There are three types of snacking that typically occur during the day, and during the course of free time. The first of these is the meal replacement, where some element of food is taken to serve as a substitute for a meal that is either skipped or missed. A common reason for this is because one is too rushed or pressed for time, and is unable to sit down to a full meal. Examples of this include being in traffic during rush hour while commuting, someone who us sitting in an extended meeting or seminar at work, or that of a student sitting in a classroom or in a lecture hall.
In cases such as these, it may be more a matter of impracticality of being to eat anything, because of surroundings or environment. Here, snacking is a way to quickly get something to quiet a rumbling stomach, or to bridge the gap of time until a full meal can be taken. What would be good here would be something simple yet substantial. The old standby, a peanut butter and jelly (or honey) sandwich on slices of whole grain bread is a good choice, as is a granola bar, or a small package of string cheese. These can be eaten quietly, and usually can be consumed without creating too many crumbs.
