The Thing is different people are Different. Which is no doubt why she
said High Protein. I cannot eat a snack without some protein component to
it without actually stimulating my appetite. Not what I want to do with a
snack, make myself more hungry.

Was watching UK Food today and there was a lady on there who said whenever
you snack on fruit, the natural sugars give you an energy boost making your
more hungry, so you should eat a form of protein with the fruit like a
handful of nuts which counteracts the sugars and makes you less hungry
afterwards.

OTOH, there's a lot of research coming through now suggesting that too
much protein (particularly animal protein - OK, you got me on the
peanuts) is carcinogenic and can lead to liver disease.

But if it has to be protein, nuts are good (albeit also high fat), also
sunflower seeds, yoghurt and if you have access to a fridge, something
like a ricecake with pastrami or ham on it and/or some LF cream cheese.

To much of anything will get you sick... but how do you define too much
proteines ?

Be carefull about those "food warnings" if you listen to all of them you
won't eat anything..

This would be why things that work for me don't necessarily work for
everyone, and why WW has two plans.....

I'm with you on this. If I snack on fruit or bread I find it difficult
to stop. Eating a chicken or fresh tuna salad is far better - for me.

Tuna/chicken/turkey salad is good
fat free cottage cheese on salad or crispbread maybe?
a little chilli on salad instead of rice?

I usually have a protein shake mixed up with a banana for breakfast.
Not the most appetizing food but it fills me up till lunch. I'm not a
snacking type of person unfortunately.

I go for some protein in all snacks, but my grams total for the day are
always a little low on the total protein......
I choose to eat a lot of veggies too. And I have to have my crusty bread.

========================
Nuts are very high in calories/fats! You'll go through a lot of points
"fast" with them (only 7 pecans are 5 pts). It's the FAT in nuts that curbs
hunger, not protein. The high fat in most low-carb diets is how people can
make the claim that they're "never hungry." Check the low-carb NGs for more
info on that. I'm avoiding nuts for the time being.

$$ If you eat excess proteins you're body converts them to carbohydrates and
stores them as fat.

$$ AMEN!!!! I've already heard dietitians contradict other dietitians on
TV.....

Well this was a nutritionalist, I am sure she knew what she was talking
about. Not that I doubt what you say, but maybe there is a particular
reason why she recommended it. Perhaps it is because peanuts contain omega
3 unsaturated fats which are good for you as opposed to saturated fats and
actually help to reduce cholesterol.
Very interesting article here about nuts and how they can really help with
weight loss and your general health.

Here is an even better article which explains why peanuts are very good for
you.
