a snack is relative to a meal in size and portion.
If not a days worth, maybe some suggestions?
I'm going to find a couple of things from the
recipes posted here and so I'll have leftovers
for meals. It's that 2nd and 4th time that
I'm struggling with. Also have some challenges
like tonight. Here at 7:30am til 9:00pm and
won't have a structured "dinner" I should probably
look at bringing a frozen meal?
Thanks for you help as always.

This might clearify things a little. When we say five meals a day, it doesn't necessarily mean five full blown meals, it can be 3 meals and two "snacks" if you want. When I say five meals they are concidered meals because they contain a "PROTEIN SOURCE" and a "CARB SOURCE" these two items constitute a meal in my book so that means let's say you had a protein shake, it has whey protein and a simple carb ie your coconut milk, or skim milk etc.. If it was your whey protein mixed with water it would not be a meal, although not techincally a meal as it is solid food but that is why when a meal replacement I would add oatmeal or something along those lines.
Now on food, if you eat a chicken breast on it's own, or a piece of bread or even a donut , they would not be considered meals as they do not have both sources but if you eat the chicken and donut it would be a meal although a very poor one lol.
Now I've posted this before, if you take your greek yogurt and add a small amount of a whole grain cereal, I use Fiber One Original, a little vanilla protein powder it turns it into a meal although most would consider it a snack if this makes sense. lol
Becky, what days and what time is your bootcamp and what meals/shakes do you eat/dring before and after, with this info I can add a little nutrient timing into the equation, this is like fine tunning your diet lol
