So my 2 snacks are always a protein bar and 1oz string cheese.

Its good but eating 2 protein bars per day is starting to be pretty expensive. I could probably save a lot of money by just eating 1 protein bar a day but I dont know what to eat in place of the protein bar, what should I eat?

Remember only 100 calorie portions Some nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios), Celery with Peanut butter, soy nuts (I don't really like these), dried fruit

Ahh anything else?

I agree! I need more snack options. Here is my question: can we only eat the snacks that they recommend on the portion plan? Not many options for us picky eaters. Can I eat other snacks that are fat free and have less than 100 calories...such as fat free jello?

Please help with this...I'm getting tired of eating the same snacks every day & it's costing too much money. I don't want to stop p90x just because of lack of options.

THANKS!!!!

Exactly!!

I totally understand....It's my opinion if you want to substitute something like....Walnuts for almonds or salmon for chicken ect....then that would be fine. But to go from something like almonds to fat free jello???? If your going to substitute then you need to stick to the same category and same nutritional value or as close to it as you can.

Don't get me wrong...we can all alter the P90x diet plan, exercise plan, calendar, the order of exercises ect... But some people tend to get a little stupid and try to write a brand new P90x plan and then seek approval. If someone thinks they are smarter than a career dietitian, nutritionist, personal trainer, ect.... that has been doing this for years and has written this program...then by all means substitute diet cokes for protein drinks, substitute fat free jello for almonds, do yoga instead of Kenpo or whatever...it's your money that you spent on the plan.

If your going to substitute a nutritional snack like almonds or a piece of fruit for Jello...which has no nutritional value what-so-ever then what results are you expecting at the end of 90 days with thinking like that?

Almonds for walnuts...kiwi fruit for an apple, I can understand that.
