Grab and Go Diet Suggestions

Don’t have time or don’t like to cook?   These are snacks and small meals.  One of our favorites is fresh fruit with cheese.  

Here are some portable basics you can bring with you in a light cooler:  

Milk

This is a cornerstone of the Contra Diet because it contains all three macronutrients:  protein, carbs and fat plus a source of calcium that your body can assimilate easily.  It lacks iron that you can get in eggs.

Eggs

Hard boiled and sprinkled lightly with salt or deviled eggs.

Fruit

Fresh and preferably organic.

Cheese

Hard cheeses:   Manchego, Comte and Parmesan Reggiano

Fresh cheeses:  ricotta, cottage and cream cheese

Fruit Juice

Preferably organic

Coffee

With cream/milk and real sweetener:  table sugar, honey, maple syrup
