Healthy snacks on hand
Hi guys,
What healthy snacks do you keep on hand for between meals (apart from the usual vege sticks and fruit)? I keep hard-boiled eggs, low fat yoghurt, and almonds, but am getting a little bored with them. |
100 calorie packs of microwave popcorn.
Beef jerky. Pretzels. Sugar-free pudding (I like Kozy Shack's rice pudding). Triscuits and cheese. A also end up drinking a lot of water and/or fresh brewed iced tea (with Splenda) to keep myself feeling full. If my chocolate craving is acting up, I'll snag a Hershey Kiss or two, but I have to only bring that many with me to work, otherwise I'll be tempted to eat more. |

It may not satisfy a knawing hunger, but I chew gum to take my mind off that hunger pang. Part of keeping aware of how many times that right (or left, maybe) hand goes to the mouth with food is resisting the temptation to do it so chewing gum keeps the mouth chewing but not on food. |

jello with whip cream does the trick for me. Light on the caleries/fat/sugar/carbs :)
|
Sugar-free jello, low-fat frozen yogurt, carrot sticks, sugar-free candy, apples, oranges, celery, gum...ummmmmmmmm I don't know what else. I try not to snack much! ;)

I work at McDonalds, with adds to the challenge of losing weight. But, when I'm on break I order the Fruit and Walnut snack. It's all really good. It has red and green (too sour for me!) apples, grapes, lowfat yogurt and candied walnuts. All for about 200 calories, which is decent. I order them on my breaks and sometimes order a few to take home because they're easily stored in the fridge.

I like to vary my fruits and veggies cause I KNOW...they can get boring. Today I took the skin off of a cucumber and sliced it and cut a raw red sweet pepper...dipped both in fat free ranch. Also:
rasberries with walnuts are good yoghurt and grapes/apples Some snacks other than fruit/veggies: Pretzels and peanuts Wheat bread with peanutbutter Dried cranberries and peanuts Eggwhite/cheese sandwich on wheat bread |
Dried edamame -- I get this at Costco
Frozen edamame in individual containers - also at Costco Baby carrots (sometimes with ff ranch) Tomatoes Broth or a low-cal soup that I reheat when I want a little Cottage cheese Yogurt Kashi Autumn wheat cereal Refried beans Micro popcorn Jello Applesauce Canned fruit Frozen fruit Baked potato Cornbread |
Healthy snacks
Here are a few healthy choice snacks to keep on hand:
celery stuffed with peanut butter string cheese I make a huge pot of vegetable soup and have it on hand. It's easy (just pop in microwave) and very healthy. popcorn Laughing Cow cheese w/whole wheat crackers small bran muffin with cup of tea 100-calorie pack of cookies (if you can resist the temptation to eat the whole box :-) Whole wheat toast with smear of nut butter w/cup of tea baby carrotts with Ranch dressing Pickles! ham slice on cracker canned fruit w/tablespoon or two of cottage cheese small corn tortilla with sprinkle of grated cheese, melted in microwave Here are just a few suggestions. (I don't think anything is unhealthy if done in moderation, even cookies) I hope this helps. |
