    These are great!  I would love to be able to print out the list of 30 snack ideas so that I can reference them but I can’t find an easy way to do this.  Any ideas or am I missing something obvious on the site?

      That’s a great idea — I’m going to start including printer-friendly version for recipes, lists, and workouts.

    I’m curious as to how #9, with 2 eggs, tomatoes and hot sauce can be nearly double the protein of the similar 2 egg dishes? 52 grams seems pretty high.

      It’s 2 CUPS of egg whites, not 2 eggs. That’s why the protein count is so ridiculously high.

      Egg whites are one of the purest sources of protein with a very high protein-to-calorie ratio.
