Those 2 years out or more...Do you still daily drink your protein shakes??
I stash the same in my bag, especially those 100 cal packs of almonds. The bars I like are Power Crunch, they don't have that odd texture and taste, and aren't loaded with sugar alcohol.
What protein mix do you use? I FINALLY discovered a mix I like - VPX Zero Carb Fat Incinerating Zerotein - excellent stats - 80 cals, 20 g protein; no lactose, carbs, fat or sugar, and it doesn't taste like ass. Bonus is that you can mix it in 4 oz of anything and it totally disolves. Also discovered SF coconut milk - 50 cal/cup and that makes a milkshake consistency. I usually use unsweetened almond milk instead of water.
It may be a bit more pricey, but after 3+ years of experimenting with protein, this is the only one that I have used more than 3 4.4 pound tubs, in a row, without getting sick from it. It also bakes up nice and doesn't dry out or taste weird (after being baked).
During the day I will eat:
I drink copious amounts of coffee and tea throughout the day.
B: an egg white (a tablespoon or two raw) with some cheese and 1/2 turkey sausage link or a couple strips of bacon, or a 1/2 of veggie sausage patty, sometimes a 1/4 slice toast too
Mid AM snack - shake
L - 1/2 veggie burger with cheese or some chili or something
Mid PM snack - shake or cheese stick, or both
Dinner - about 1.5 to 2 oz meat, bites of veggies and carbs, and salad sometimes
Snacks at night (1 or two of these sometimes)- popped in coconut oil; greek yogurt with frozen blueberries or cherries or fresh berries, when available and granola; cottage cheese with the berries and granola, cheese stick, apple with peanut butter, spoonful or two of peanut butter, a protein bar (sometimes homemade, I have awesome recipes), bite or two of a cookie, a few M&M's.
I don't deprive - moderation is key for me.
