Moving can be quite a workout, especially when moving large items from your home. Hopefully you’ve done your homework and hired moving professionals that offer an Austin packing service, like the team at All My Sons Moving & Storage.  Otherwise, the following is a list of snack ideas to pack for moving day:

Sunflower Seeds

A handful of sunflower seeds is high in protein, fiber, and healthy unsaturated fats, which will keep you full for hours.

Tuna Sandwiches

One can of tuna offers 40 grams of protein. This will help keep your body prepared for heavy lifting during a move.

Meal Replacement Shake

If you chose to go the DIY route instead of hiring an Austin packing service, you’ll find yourself working for most of the day. Mix together a couple of protein shakes and drink them until you have an opportunity to grab a full meal.

Beef Jerky

Sometimes you don’t have the time to sit down and eat, making beef jerky a great go-to. Just pop into a gas station during your move and grab a bag. They are a good way to satisfy immediate hunger while providing enough protein and carbs to get you going for a while.

Water

It’s important to stay hydrated during a move. Avoid caffeine and warm drinks as they don’t offer the same benefits as water does during physical activity. Sport drinks aren’t a bad option either, however it’s best to drink bottles of water to help keep you going.
