Women in the housing industry are always on the go. Whether you’re in escrow, real estate, or a mortgage broker, your stomach needs to stay satisfied and you need to take care of yourself. When hunger strikes, we tend to be low in energy and our metabolisms can slow down. The solution: pack nutritious on-the-go snacks. Snacks can help ward off hunger pangs, keep you fuller longer and decrease overeating during mealtimes. Check these out:
- Chocolate Milk
If you weren’t already aware, chocolate milk can be a great nutrition boost. Just make sure it’s low-fat if you’re worried about the extra calories. Chocolate milk is also perfect to have post-workout, as it helps to repair muscle and brings with it electrolytes and other nutrients. This is also ideal for women in the housing industry who walk from property to property and tend to get sore muscles.
- Hard Boiled Eggs
Hard boiled eggs are convenient portable snacks packed with protein, which helps to increase energy levels and keep you fuller longer. For your convenience, you can boil a half dozen eggs the night before work and stock them in the fridge. This way, you can pop one in your bag at a time so they will last you about a week. Tip:to make it easier to enjoy this snack on the go, make sure to peel the egg prior to packing them.
- Tortillas And Hummus
Hummus and whole wheat tortillas can be the perfect nutritious combo for women on the go. You can also pair hummus with fresh veggies, such as carrots for an easy, healthy snack.
- Cheese
Another protein rich-food, cheese, is a delicious and easy way to fend off hunger. You can purchase string cheese or Mini Babybel cheese for a sufficient amount of nutrition that’s portable. For bonus nutrition: pair the cheese with some type of fruit to make a protein/ carb combo that will keep you satisfied.
5.KIND Bars
KIND bars can be a terrific pick-me-up, offering protein and whole grains. These are also available in gluten-free varieties, so they are very versatile. It is important to check the labels on the back of protein bars to make sure they aren’t loaded with sugar or containing an overwhelming amount of calories. As a rule of thumb, make sure there isn’t more than 15 grams of sugar per bar.
