The Best 150-Calorie Snacks For After Your Workout

Just as important as it is to fuel up before you exercise, don't forget to eat a little something once your workout is complete. Your body needs a combo of protein and carbs to build and repair muscle and quickly recharge lost energy. Don't go overboard and consume so many calories that it cancels out the ones you burned while sweating it out. Here are some ideas for post-workout snacks, all under 150 calories.

  1. Half a medium apple smeared with a mixture of two ounces of vanilla Greek yogurt, half a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and topped with sliced grapes: 151 calories
  2. Four ounces low-fat cottage cheese (82 calories) mixed with three-quarters cup fresh blueberries (63 calories): 145 calories
  3. One extrasmall apple (53 calories) with one tablespoon peanut butter (94 calories): 147 calories
  4. 20 baby carrots (70 calories) with two tablespoons hummus (70 calories): 140 calories
  5. One organic mozzarella cheese stick (80 calories) and 20 grapes (68 calories): 148 calories
  6. 5.3-ounce container organic vanilla Greek yogurt (110 calories) and seven cherries (36 calories): 146 calories
  7. One small banana (89 calories) with eight raw almonds (55 calories): 144 calories
  8. Eight ounces organic low-fat chocolate milk (150 calories) or eight ounces Silk Chocolate Soymilk (120 calories)
  9. Half a Kind Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt Bar (100 calories) and eight medium strawberries (31 calories): 131 calories
  10. Trail mix made with 18 peanuts (97 calories) and a mini box of raisins (45 calories): 142 calories
  11. Three-quarters cup shelled edamame: 150 calories

Getting the Diagnosis Wrong

Nearly all of us will experience at least one diagnostic error in our lifetimes, a new report says.

This Motivational App Will Make Your Cardio Workouts Much More Effective

Stuff We Love: Motion Traxx Motion Traxx

We have the best of intentions when it comes to working out. We pack our gym bag the night before and block off time on the calendar. But 10 minutes into our workout, whether we’re going for a run or chugging away on the elliptical, we're already bored. It'd be great to have a personal trainer or fitness instructor to give us that motivating oomph to get over the hump, but we're not about to deplete our bank account.

That’s where the Motion Traxx comes in. The app—available on iOS and Android—comes with audio coaching from top fitness experts for all kinds of cardio workouts, including treadmill, indoor cycling, and elliptical. The coaches guide you through the workout, give you a heads up on what’s coming next, and pepper in just the right amount of motivation to distract you (in a good way).

Plus, Motion Traxx comes with ActionSync, a technology that provides soundtracks that match the intensity of your workout. The music won’t be the top 40 you’re used to singing along with, but as long as you keep up with the beat, you’ll break a sweat in no time. The app is free to download, but you’ll want to upgrade to the pro version ($4.99/month) to get access to unlimited workouts.
