5 Healthy(ish) Snacks From Walmart Under 500 Calories

We’ve done a few other posts like this one (Target pt 1 & Aldi’s & Target Pt2) was well received, so I decided to take a trip to WALMART and find five more healthy(ish) snacks under 500 calories.

The goal is to (1) find easy snacks under 500 calories per serving, and (2) make sure they are healthy (ish). That part is my own judgement call 😉

HEY

1. ONE Protein Bar – 230 Calories per Bar

2. SILK Dairy Free Yogurt – 140 Calories per Cup

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.

3. BLUE DIAMOND Chocolate Covered Oven Roasted Almonds – 160 Calories per Serving

*Walmart had the large, almost 2lbs, back

4. GREAT VALUE Omega 3 Trail Mix – 240 Calories per Pouch

5. CLIF BAR – 260 Calories per Bar

*Walmart had the jumbo variety pack

Where should I go next?????

No Such Thing As Girl Pushups

Pushups are great!

No equipment needed.

A great way to build upperbody strength just about anywhere.

Pushups help to strengthen your triceps, chest, shoulders, lower back, and core.

And, there’s a ton of variations to pushups. A lot of different ways to do pushups to change up the exercise and to bring more focus to certain muscle groups.

  • Standard / Military Pushups
  • Wide Pushups
  • Narrow / Diamond Pushups
  • Weighted Pushups
  • Plyometric Pushups
  • Kneeling Pushups
  • Incline Pushups
  • Decline Pushups
Check Out Our Beginner Pushup Progression Post

And, not one of these variations are called “Girl Pushups”

The issue is, people tend to confuse kneeling pushups with “girl pushups”, and that’s wrong on a lot of levels. One being, for me, that I know girls that can do more Standard Pushups than guys I know.

I personally know women that can do A LOT of pushups. Women in the military, firefighters, police officers, and just women who’ve worked hard to get a lot of reps of standard pushups in.

I have a hard time calling an exercise “girl pushups” when I’ve watched with my own eyes, girls going from 0 pushups to 10-20-25-30+ pushups.

Of course, this falls into the larger problem in fitness with people thinking, and promoting, gender specific exercises. And if there has been a top 2-3 things I’ve taught, and preached, while training, was that gender specific exercises is a complete myth.

We all should be doing pushups, even if they have to be modified to fit the individuals current abilities. And that goes for everything else in training.

There is NO such thing as “GIRL PUSHUPS”

Rant Over 🙂
