My Secret Snack Obsession ( + Giveaway!)

This post is sponsored by FitFluential on behalf of Jack’s Links.

I have lots of weird habits, guys. Just ask my coworkers who are lucky enough to spend 50+ hours a week with me. Or the friends who are lucky enough to travel with me.

One of the things I’ve learned about myself over the years is that if I don’t eat the right way for me, I get HANGRY.

As someone who works out a lot, that means PROTEIN. No sweet, carb-based breakfasts for me — get some eggs in my belly! I also make sure my lunch choices have plenty of protein to help my muscles recover from the torture I put them through from all my various fitness pursuits AND to keep me full.

I have a generally awesome life, and I’m lucky that I’m not sitting at work waiting for the day to be over…but I’d really be lying if I didn’t say the highlights of my work day were lunch time and snack time. I usually eat pretty late, so an afternoon snack that will keep me full is really important and often is the difference between overeating/grazing at night and eating a normal-sized meal.

My favorite treat snack is jerky. It’s not cheap, and I do usually eat an entire bag in one sitting, so I save it as a treat. But even if I do have a whole bag of three servings, it’s only about 240 calories which is in the ballpark of any other snack I’d have, and is completely satisfying, with 11g of protein per serving. And far less awkward than eating a random chicken breast at my desk.

This new Jack Link’s chicken jerky is GOOD. Like, rationing it out for myself so it lasts longer good.
