What do you snack on???

thebeachbumm33 · Post by **thebeachbumm33** » January 3, 2007 2:43 pm

I'm attempting to create a healthier me this year, I'm having a really difficult time with my midday snack. Normally a bag of chips and a few klondike bars were perfect, today I've gone through the shrimp cocktail, 2 bananas, a bunch of strawberries and some freshly cut pineapple but I'm still hungry:o Any suggestions on healthy but filling snacks???

i'd prolly order a pizza with extra cheese and dead pig on it.

or maybe you should just have a glass of water.

Popcorn, pretzels, turkey pepperoni (yes, it's not too bad at all!), V-8, carrots, crackers, pickles...

Can you tell I have a 'salt tooth'??

turkey pepperoni rocks, but has about 4x as much sodium as pig pepperoni.

Healthy?
um....carrot sticks dipped in Ranch dressing?

celery sticks dipped in peanut butter (you will be surprised at how good it is)

Nuts (fill you up and are nutritious)

M&M's...nope

Pretzels....nope

nachos...Ding Dongs....MACADAMIA NUT AND WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.................

aaaaggghhhh now I'm hungry

celery and peanut butter...the peanut better fills you up...or an apple and peanut butter, cheese, almonds...if your are not feeling full it may be that you are taking in too many carbs...try something with protein and fiber....almonds are good....

I would stay away from anything to do with nuts - they will make you gain weight ......

but I did lie ..... I tend to gravitate toward chocolate - which is why I am a failure at losing weight

I'm with Penny. Salty + crunchy = good snackin'
Don't try to get "filled up" with snack food.
It's just a reminder that dinner isn't far off.
(Don't even try to get "filled up" with meal food.)

actually certain nuts are good for you in a weight loss program....depends on the diet you are on....but they can help you fill fuller and stay satisfied....

people also say the same about avocado, but the diet I am following suggest eating it a few times a week...

hummus...roasted garlic is good, there's several varities..with baby carrots...

celery is a good snack food, but has the highest sodium content of any vegetable, other than ...beets.

What's the point of having a snack if it's something healthy? By definition they should be junk food.

Midday snack? That is more than I eat in a meal. Balance the snack/lunch a little. All that fruit is full of sugars which if you are trying to reduce weight won't help. Veggies/nuts would be my choice of snack if I had one in the afternoon.

Snyders of Hanover pretzel pieces

My favorite flavors are, Buffalo wing and Honey mustard w/ onion.

Cereal . . . no pre-sweetened brands.

It satisfies the need to crunch.
