Make sure the chicken is well-coated by the marinade. Place on a small baking sheet and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight. Reserve and store the other half of the yogurt mixture in the refrigerator (as a dipping sauce) until ready to use. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes.

New You Bars vs Bars from the store~

The bars from the store are generally not designed for weight loss. Most of the protein bars from the stores taste horrible or are loaded with fat and carbs. Our bars have measured amounts of nutrients and are designed to enhance weight loss while maintaining proper nutrition. Our proteins are sourced only from vendors that have been put through a rigorous process to ensure the highest quality with no adulteration. The bars in the stores are designed to sell more bars… period. Even if they say they are for weight loss they are designed to appeal to a broad base of consumers, many of whom are not working toward a weight loss goal. Think about it, if you are eating their bars and not losing weight, who are you going to complain to about it? Sadley, they do not care if you actually lose weight with their products. We do! Please remember the bars are an optional part of the program. Some people use them daily and some people never use them. They make a great treat, meal replacement or on the go snack.

8 Best Snacks for Active Older Adults
An active body needs protein. An active person needs more convenient ways to get that protein.
You know a granola bar isn’t the most nutritious snack, but it’s a lot easier to eat on the go than an egg white omelet.
Which begs the question: Can a packed schedule and a high-protein diet coexist? Yes, says Elizabeth Adler, R.D., a dietitian with Laura Cipullo Whole Nutrition Services in New York City.
“Whole and minimally processed foods that are naturally high in protein are your best bets,” she says, adding that snacks with at least 10 to 15 grams of protein will keep your stomach content and your muscles fueled between meals.
Another reason to reach for protein-filled snacks: Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that older adults who spread their protein intake throughout the day (not just at mealtimes) have stronger, healthier muscles.
Here are some convenient snacks to help solve your active-body, active-life diet dilemma.
Healthy eating and fitness go together!

High-Protein Snack #1: Hard-Boiled Eggs
Eggs contain the most bioavailable form of protein there is. That means your body absorbs and uses the protein from eggs better than it does protein from any other food, says Atlanta-based sports dietitian Marie Spano, R.D.
Each egg contains between 6 and 7 grams of protein, so a snack of two or three hard-boiled eggs is an easy way to meet your goals—and stay satisfied between meals.
To eliminate the need to peel on the go, Spano recommends preparing your hard-boiled eggs in batches: Boil, peel, and then store in an airtight container filled with water. Keeping the eggs covered in water will prevent them from drying out. They’ll be ready whenever you are.

High-Protein Snack #2: Ready-to-Eat Tuna
“If you’re a fish fan, adding tuna to a snack adds about 17 grams of protein, plus vitamin D and omega-3 fats,” Adler says. All three support overall health and weight loss efforts.
Consider purchasing tuna in pouch form. Many brands now sell no-drain, easy-to-open pouches with flavors like lemon dill or chipotle. Some even come with a tiny fork, making it easier than ever to enjoy on the go.
High-Protein Snack #3: Edamame
One cup of these little bright green pods delivers 15 grams of plant-based protein, making them ideal for anyone who follows a vegan or vegetarian diet. What’s more, edamame is a complete protein source, meaning it provides all nine essential amino acids your body needs.
Buy them fresh and steam, or use the precooked frozen variety and briefly microwave to defrost before chowing down.

High-Protein Snack #4: Jerky
Not all jerky is created equal. Fortunately, many health-conscious brands now offer minimally processed jerkies (think: beef, pork, and turkey) that are free of nitrates and added sugars, and low in sodium, Adler says.
She recommends opting for jerkies that contain less than 400 milligrams of sodium per serving — and remember to pay attention to the serving size.

Jerky provides between 10 and 12 grams of protein per ounce, Adler says. So it’s hard to beat in terms of convenience. Plus, this chewy snack stays fresh for months when packed properly.
High-Protein Snack #5: String Cheese and Turkey Sticks
The classic snack that kids love to pull and peel is also one of the best for adults. One string cheese packs about 7 grams of protein and 20 percent of your daily recommended intake of calcium. That’s important since calcium is one of the most common nutrients older adults aren’t getting enough of.
You can enjoy a plain string cheese on the go, or to hit your protein goals even quicker, Spano recommends wrapping it in two slices of deli turkey and setting the combo with toothpicks. You’ll add extra flavor along with 10 more grams of filling protein.
High-Protein Snack #6: Greek Yogurt
A single serving of this tangy goodness contains a whopping 23 grams of protein. But what truly sets it apart from other high-protein snacks are the probiotics, Spano says.
Also called “good bacteria,” probiotics help improve digestion and immune health. And according to emerging research, they may promote a healthy weight. To ensure your supermarket buy is rich in probiotics, look for a brand with “live and active cultures” on the label.
You can buy your yogurt in single-serve sizes to make snacking simple. Or buy it in larger quantities, and then divvy it up into your own single-serve airtight containers.

One of the best ways to maintain smart eating habits and a healthy body weight is to track your food -- all of it!

1. Pick your medium: a food journaling app or a notebook for food tracking.
You need somewhere for all that info to live! And since you want to be able to access your food journal anytime, anywhere, your smartphone is an ideal option. Prefer to record your food intake the old-fashioned way? Write it down in a notepad or a food journal like this one. Track the foods (and beverages!) themselves as well as the amounts and the approximate calorie counts. In a rush? Jot down your food in the Notes app of your phone or scribble it onto a piece of paper. Whatever gets it done!

2. Write down everything you eat. Yes, EVERYTHING.
The main components of your meals are obvious, but do not forget about condiments, coffee creamer, and unplanned bites, licks, and tastes. If you eat it or drink it, it goes in the journal. Not only will this help you get a more accurate snapshot of your eating habits, but it will make you think twice before mindlessly munching. After all, who wants to write down that they ate 8 handfuls of popcorn, 3 1/2 Oreos, and 2 spoonful’s of peanut butter after dinner?

3. Start planning your food for the upcoming day
Meal prepping can make food tracking even easier… and more effective. Choose your meals for the week, make a grocery list, and do some prep to make day-of food assembly a cinch. Make note of days you know you will be dining out, and maybe take a peek at the restaurant’s menu online in advance. By taking the time to plot out what you are going to eat, you’ll be less likely to get derailed by impulse choices. Once you get in the habit of planning ahead, logging your food will be super simple!

4. Review after you chew!
At the end of the week, look at the data you have compiled, and assess what unfolded. Skipped breakfast on Tuesday and then went overboard at lunch? Planned to snack on a portion of pretzels that turned into 3 cups the salty twists? Felt sluggish all week, and just now realize you barely had any protein at lunchtime? Knowledge is power.
