Salt binge

I had a major jones for salt last night. I've been exercising a lot lately -
cub scout hike on Sunday (carrying a 4 yo most of the way), new aerobics
class Monday, walking field trip with 1st graders Tuesday... Anyway, I was
craving salt big time last night, and I think it was as a direct result of
all that exertion. Fortunately, I dove into a bag of baked potato chips, and
avoided the pringles... and did manage to stop after a reasonable amount.

But, what would be a better thing to do? Suggesting fruit won't help - that
just won't fix a serious salt jones. When I need salt, I need salt!

I don't have high blood pressure, or water retention issues, so I'm not
worried about that. I'd just like to find something other than potato chips
(even the baked ones) to get a "fix"! G

Popcorn is my lowest "troubles maker potential" salt fix. I've been having
salt strikes too lately.. but I'm eating crackers *blush*

I read somewhere to eat 94% popcorn and put light soy sauce on it. I tried
it and it was good and stopped the potato chip craving.

Here is a fruit suggestion anyway,
Try an orange cut in half with a saladito pushed into the center. A saladito
is a dried salted plum. For a little extra kick try a chili saladito. I don't
know how many points a saladito is but I can't imagine it has more than a point.
Just be careful not to eat to many of these that would be really bad. Salty!

Pretzels work for me. I can have 17 of the store brand mini pretzels
for 17 points.
Or how about one of those 100 calories packets of crackers? Each box
here is marked with a large NO to indicate to children and DH that
they aren't to eat them (same with my yogurt).
