For more active days, and especially before and after training sessions include a portion of starchy carbohydrates (e.g oat cakes, rice cakes, ryvita, small wholegrain roll -if you have reintroduced wheat -) with your snack.
Piece of fruit and small handful of nuts
e.g banana and brazil nuts
apple and walnuts
pear and almonds
Piece of fruit and small amount of cheese (if you have reintroduced dairy)
e.g blueberries and goats cheese

Morning all
if you roast wedges of butternut squash with some garlic and chilli, this hot or cold makes a great snack, serve it with a piece of feta and shredded sage
I love cherry tomatoes, and combine a handful of those with anything protein
roasted parsnips can be satisfying if you want something sweet
my recipe for courgette and mushroom bake
chop one large onion and sauté in a little olive oil till transparent
add two cubes courgettes and four ounces thickly sliced mushrooms
stir and cook for five min
remove from heat
add four ounces wholemeal breadcrumbs,
four ounces strong cheddar, stir, add two eggs, stir well
add large teaspoon marmite, stir well
turn into oven proof dish
sprinkle with some finely grated Parmesan and sesame seeds
bake for 30 mis ish 180 degrees until brown and springy to touch
serve hot of cold- it is yummy!
Sorry that was meant to be two courgettes cubed!
yumm those sound lovely ideas Jayne, thank you. You reminded me about slow roasted cherry tomatoes - Nigella has a good recipe in Nigella Express. Thye become really sweet and can staisfy the sugar cravings healthily.
Just found this recipe for spinach and pine nuts which sounds worth a try: http://www.nigella.com/recipe/recipe_detail.aspx?key=S&rid=181

Also you can use a lettuce or spinach leaf as a wrap instead of the usually wheat wraps.
How about making a spanish omelette adding in extra vegetables like peppers, courgettes, mushrooms, spinach and having a slice of that cold as a snack or lunch, of course - as they do in Spain! x
I did 2 dog walks today and the second one wiped me out! This flu is lethal.
Food choices
muesli you pear seeds
leek and potato soup cheesy bread
2 egg omelette made with onion courgette spinach bacon
