I found that the one serving of crackers *I like various types, but only
take a 2 point serving* and cheese is quite satifying...

I like to have protiens in my snacky time... keeps my tummy busy for longer
as it takes longer for the digestion of meats vs fruits...

and I'm currently at 35 points for my allowed daily, which has been hard to
keep up once you get use to watching everything you eat... heh...

so a couple of four point snacks isn't that big of a deal...

I've heard about that laughing cow cheese and I've only heard good things
about it!... also there are some 0 point cheese slices available... at least
at one of the stores I went to... I checked on my little measuring fibre/fat
scale... and lo and behold, 0 points... and I use a one point peice of bread
with tomatoes and cheese slices, and viola, nice 2 point snack sandwich...

but i'm off to have an egg salad sandwich now...

Yup, that is what I've done... *darn that "who needs math when I grow up
anyway 12 yr old mentality... heh*

my son was on a ketogenic diet a few years back for his seizures and
everything had to be weighed out precisely or he would have seizures...
its
a neat diet... we had complications but it does work... but I digress...
my
mom purchased me an official weight watchers scale which the
nutritionist
recommended and I use that for measuring my ingredients...

I highly recommend having a scale like that regardless if you are on a
diet
or not...

I measure out everything now, and I think I'm getting pretty good at
figuring out portions when I go to eat out in a restaraunt, which I do
weekly, so its easy to figure out my points there.

I also go to fancier restaraunts where they focus more on flavour than
on
how many fries can we fit on a plate... it might be a tad more
expensive...
well... not too much more... but they have more human like portions...

so yeah... invest in a scale... you'll likely notice that you've been
eating some things very wrong... and this way when you do get extra
nummy
things like cheese and crackers, the individual portions are not nearly
as
large as you once thought... but you can measure out individual servings
and
put them in a ziplock baggie in the fridge for a snacky when the mood
hits
you... and you know, 4 points for this snack... without having to
reweigh
and go through the trouble of taking out the scale...

anyways... I'm rambling...

must go feed my critters... aka puppy and my son...

Wow! 4 point snacks ... i've been trying to look for 0 or 1 point snacks
and
instead found I ate 5 rice cakes for 5 points .... in hindsight, cheese
and
crackers for 4 points would probably have been more satisfying.
