Snack Ideas???

for 19 år siden 0 +0 / -0 26

I've not quit smoking, as of yet(but I'll be one of you non-smokers come tomorrow!), I wanted to chime in on the snack thing, as I have a medical condition that has me eating in a more balanced way for such a condition. I boil 4 or 5 eggs, and store them in the fridge till needed...I'll drop them in a cup of hot water to just bring them to room temp, and enjoy one for a quick breakfast or for a snack. (My research on eggs has led me to believe that eggs tend to get a bad rap. There not so bad for me, eaten in moderation, of course!) I always try to put GOOD fats, protiens and carbs in all my meals/snacks (whatever you wanna call my way of eating) as it lessens glucose and insulin spikes to combine them all and in smaller portions...which helps to keep unwanted body fat at bay (just wanted to throw in there) ~Mozz cheese sticks ~Low glycemic index fruits, such as a small apple, pear or strawberries ~Spread "No sugar added" Peanut butter onto cut-up apple or 1/2 small banana. (bananas are a higher glycemic index fruit, but I love the buggers!, and need the added potassium). ~Sunflower seeds (like the idea of shelling them myself, as someone else suggested having something to do with hands..great idea!) ~1/2 serving of favorite nuts...in my case, almonds, peanuts, walnuts and/or cashews. ~Of course your garden variety fresh, cut-up veggies. I keep some cut-up and place into a ziploc baggie for that weeks use, and not only have a snack, but can make into a quick salad by adding dressing, and wholesome nuts and/or seeds. ~1 slice WHOLE WHEAT bread(favorite WHOLE grain bread with 1 tbsp PB (No sugar added)....have an Elvis sandwich (add a few slices of banana, just don't fry said sandwich... your arteries and waist line will thank you, "Thank you very much" ;)) ~And, I drink water every stinking chance I get! Keeps me feeling full. Harley :)

Hi everyone.. I'm new to the forum.. Will be quitting on Feb. 10,2006. My fingers are crossed!!! I will be taking Zyban tho'.. It worked in the past! I'm SO afraid of gaining weight.. I recently lost 23 pounds and don't want them back.. and still have about 15 more to go! Last time I quit I gained 15 pounds.. So, my question is what do you guys eat for snacks when you reach for food.. I need low fat low calorie snacks... Carrot sticks will only last so long before I get sick of them! Thank You!!

Ok here is my soup recipe all together in one post lol!! - It is fat free and only 22 calories per bowl so you can eat as much as you like - so good for beating those cravings...yeah!! Veggy soup made from chopped veg: 1/2 turnip, 1 med onion, 1 sweet potato, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 of a white cabbage, 1 Leek, 3 carrots, salt and peppercorns, 2 veg stock cubes and 2 1/2 pints water. Boil then simmer till veggies are soft (about 1 hour), then use blender to make into a smooth soup. It's slightly sweet and has virtually no fat and is loaded with good stuff. Works great for munchie cravings, both sweet and savoury...

I used raw carrot sticks. By the time I really got sick of them, I was past the point of needing to constantly stuff something in my mouth. And when I needed to, I chewed sugar-free gum.
