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
