What Do You Guys Snack On?

My "official" lower calorie snacks are water crackers with sliced
tomato and gherkin on them.

Cheers,

Except for the nuts, everything else is primarily carbohydrate.

I'd suggest including a little protein and fat with each meal/snack
for better satiety.

Examples:

o Sliced apple or pear dipped in nut butter or yogurt
o Diced mango mixed into plain yogurt
o Turkey breast or tuna fish on crispbread
o Cottage cheese w/applesauce
o Salad with oil & vinegar dressing, 2-3 oz turkey breast/tuna/shrimp
o Hardboiled eggs
o Handful of walnuts and dried cranberries

What's wrong with carbs? I am not an adherer to the whole carb craze

It wasn't suggested that there was anything wrong with carbs per se.
Most of the examples even (purposely) included the items you
originally listed.

(I tend to be skeptical of "fads")

Popular controlled carb diets like South Beach, Protein Power, Atkins,
Zone, etc. aside, the idea of having a little cottage cheese with your
applesauce or a little peanut butter with an apple is not faddish at
all. Actually, it's rather anti-faddish, i.e. "eat a balanced meal".

and think good, steady caloric intake does the trick.

Agreed.

Bonjour,

Just a note to inquire about what everyone here snacks on. Either
inbetween meals or as a complement/dessert to your meals. Here's a list
of what I've been snacking on lately:

slices of almost-ripe mangoes (I hate the mushy stuff)
Wasa Fiber Rye Crispbread
Wisecrackers (Partners brand cracker)
grapes
all-natural applesauce (without lye!)
dried cranberries
boiled peanuts (peanuts bought raw and then boiled until soft in water)

Any suggestions on other kinds of snacks? Or any criticisms on these
snacks? Just thought I'd share!

I snack on a variety of things:
pistachios
cottage cheese with fruit
turkey and cheese roll up
hummus and celery
apple with cheese
hard boiled egg and a fat free/sugar free yogurt

just to name a few

I don't snack really, just eat my 3-4 meals.

Trader Joe's is much better...and cheaper than Mariani!
