It's all in the weight you gain.  Those things are basically sugar and other carbs, with some protein thrown in.  You might balloon up, but if you're not working out it's not going to be what you had in mind.  Lots of whole foods like meat and eggs and whole grain breads and pastas are a better way to go, but I still throw a shake in sometimes for a quick snack.  I'd stick to protein powders rather than the mega-mass type mixes.

First...you need to stock your fridge with healthy foods...Fruit juices, no fat yogurts, fruits and vegitables, pita breads and salsa...the list goes on.  snack on theses throughout the day. then have a small dinner.   that's how i do it.

I have heard that the best thing to do is eat an hour before you plan to exercise.

Coffee!\nand bring one of those granola bars with you so when you are hungry at 10 you have something quick to eat.\nYogurt smoothie drinks are pretty good for the mornings too.

Something with carbs to help fuel your brain's glucose level, something with protein for longer burning fuel, something with a little fat to keep you from feeling too hungry in the middle of the morning. So that could be whole-grain cereal with 2 percent milk and some fruit. Or two scrambled eggs and some fruit juice. Or why stick with typical breakfast food? How about a slice of leftover pizza? Just avoid sugared cereal (including those awful cereal bars and granola bars), pastries and things like that. They may give you a quick boost of energy, but you'll be dragging before long.

Anything microwavable or ready to eat. Espescially things you can eat right out of the package. Cookies, candy, jerky, tuna, anything really that doesn't require much prep and will stay along time. One of my husband favorites..the betty crocker dessert in a bowl. It's like a small cake already in a bowl just add water and microwave.
