I work in an office during the day and due to the fact I start work at 11am, I don't have lunch till 3pm and find myself having to snack to bring me up to my lunch. Just wondered if anybody had any ideas on healthy and benefical snacks for running? Eating pretzals at the moment but all that salt can't be good for me!

hard to go wrong with that really...
But then I'm a self-confessed pretzel addict.
i have shifted my eating around a bit and sometimes have my breakfast type food as a early lunch - a bowl of cereal with some milk might not be too difficult at 12ish?
I have recently, through an accident in the kitchen, discovered sugar puff sandwiches which are quite tasty and filling.
(OK OK i know i'm a bit weird!)
Banana and peanut butter sandwich is one of my favourites - particularly on the way home from work - it's enough to keep me going for a couple of hours if I want to run straightaway - might work for you too. Plenty of carbs.
Liked yoghurt covered flapjacks too until I saw the article in a running mag saying how many calories and grammes of fat they had - equivalent to about 18 jaffa cakes or something!
My favourite snacks are hard to define as I tend to eat little but often as opposed to square meals. Therefore almost every meal I have is kind of a snack. However I am very fond of apples, pots of yoghurt, toast, and (it had to come..) the dreaded chocolate.
Fortunately for me, my favourite crisps - Squares - are relatively low in fat, so the bag or so I eat per day isn't a major impact on my health.
Remind me to get a life....
Malt Loaf with jam on it and banana all made into a sandwich
Sob, living in the u.s. at the moment where there is NO malt loaf, sob... no doubt I'll put on 1 stone when I get back from eating malt loaf!!
Bagels are good I reckon, low in fat and tasty.
Oh and cake&cookies every so often too...
Otherwise my GNC card gets a hammering on energy and protein bars.. i find i can always justify something if it has added nutritional value!
Must try Sugar Puff sandwiches :-)
Malt loaf is excellent, if they are too sweet they now do a fruity ryvita with sultanas in.
If I know I don't need a snack I will have a big mug of coffee and that will keep the munchies at bay til lunch time.
