What Do You Guys Snack On?
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! HS |

Or any criticisms on these snacks? Just thought I'd share! 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 |

I snack on roasted seaweed -- they're so yummy and have virtually NO
calories. of course...the sodium is kind of bad -- but i'm not really that worried about salt. i also like the rice crackers they sell at the chinese super markets and does anyone here snack of Pork Fu? it's dried shreded pork and it's reallly good and sometimes when i crave something meaty but tasty but not really greasy it totally hits the spot. (yes, i'm chinese ) |

I've had roasted seaweed, although I am a bigger fan of roasted kelp.
It's salted with seasalt and has a bit of oil in it. I find them at the local Korean grocer here in NYC. Rice crackers are great, but I feel as though they are "empty calories." I pop them like candy! Pork Fu is good, especially with some steamed rice. It leaves my mouth a bit too thirsty, though. |

What's wrong with carbs? I am not an adherer to the whole carb craze (I
tend to be skeptical of "fads") and think good, steady caloric intake does the trick.

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. |

Buy Mariani brand if you can find them. Also any kind of fruit you can get -- at this point in the year I would choose Braeburn apples over Macs (mushy this late in the season) or Delicious (too woody because they have to stand up to rough handling during shipping). |
