almonds are good apples too.

I've been making this badass egg, cheese and ham breakfast sandwich at work lately. All u need is a microwave.

1 english muffin
2 eggs
1 piece of sharp cheddar
4 pieces of ham

You need a small glass dish to warm the eggs up in. 2 eggs takes about 1:30 in the microwave. 1 egg takes about 1:00. Make sure to cover it with something cause it can explode. Scramble just enough to break the yolks. Put it all together and warm it up for another 30 sec. and it's fucking amazing.

1/2 cup oatmeal
2 scoops of granola
2 scoops of vanilla whey protein
handful of fresh blueberries
add 2 cups milk, mix well and eat cold.

It tastes great, good calories, 64 grams or more of protein, and it will polish your pipes every morning. I've had it for breakfast every day for three months straight and I still can't get enough.

I love cottage cheese w/ crackers.
Hummus is also a healthy snack.

chips/crackers and dip
1 can tuna
mayo or miracle whip
triscuit/whole grain crackers or multi-grain chips
(I like to use mango salsa in the tuna)
(can do the same just dicing chicken breast and make some chicken salad "dip")

greek yogurt makes a great snack also, add granola, banana, cinnamon, etc. or if you're cutting or trying to keep it to a lower calorie/sugar snack:

1 Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Packet Splenda
Cinnamon or Vanilla Extract

good ideas, im gonna pick up some granola

Make yourself a bowl of salad with fresh green vegetables and various seasonal fruits for snacks. You can even add other ingredients of your choice in it to add to the taste.

right on man, it's great - quick, easy, easily altered to make it low carb, fat, etc. so it can fit in basically any diet .. mixing in the mango salsa from costco (kirkland brand) and multigrain chips to dip with are a killer combination

whats good from the dairy department?

Cottage Cheese (Low Fat, Fat-Free, Low Sodium varieties are all available) and Fruit is a great snack. and of course greek yogurt as i mentioned

Do you have any restrictions in your diet you're trying to stick to? easier to suggest snacks or food options if I know if you do / what they are (low fat, low carb, low sugar, low sodium, high protein, etc.)

in the meantime:
Low Fat Chicken Quesedilla
1 Chicken Breast (Grilled and Sliced into small thin slices)
2 Low Fat Whole Wheat Tortillas
1 Cup Low Fat or Fat Free Shredded Cheese
Frank's Hot Sauce

nuts and shake or olive oil with shake.
