Mix them with some salted dry roast peanuts and some raisins and it's a seriously satisfying snack. Even plain, raw almonds are mighty tasty. Raw almonds are the way to go.

Laughing. I am surprised how much mileage I continually get out of what Trader Joe's carries (for relatively little cost.) I would add raw chicken breasts, bags of baby spinach, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and avaocados can be remade into virtually any lunch/dinner combo just by changing up the seasonings and a couple supporting items. Frozen shrimp as well. I also like beef or buffalo jerky and nuts for "on-the-go" - and am now seriously addicted to the salt and pepper pistachios at Costco (Kirkland brand.) Love the death star analogy. Laughing.

Of course its your (well supported with scientific evidence) opinion, but what about snacks, on the go items, or things you can make a complete meal with? This could become a fun page! Also, what are your thoughts on the ABSDIETPOWER foods from Men's Health? Kev,

Why do you use egg whites when there are so many great nutrients in the yolk of the egg? In fact, why do you use products from feedlot animals at all? The nutrient profiles are a million times better when the animals have been humanely raised, fed a natural diet, and haven't been given hormones. Plus there's the whole ethical issue. Eating products from animals that have been raped and abused is not exactly moral. This post would have been a lot better had you recommended people get their animal products from the local farmer, not the grocery store In the wise words of Charles Poliquin:
