I have been having a hard time with snacks. I try to eat 6 times a day. What kind of foods do you all reach for when ya just need a little snack. Peachy

For me snacks are strange:

Guacolmole and kettle chips
Guacomole and Cucumber slices

Gala Apple sliced in wedges into Carb Control Yogurt

Sugar Free jello and Extra creamy Whipped topping

Ceasar salad

Beef jerkey

Tomatoe dipped in Kosher salt

Pickled herring

boiled cabbage

chicken leg

cheese cubes

these are my favorites. Often I make a meal from a few of these together.

I like:

-Tuna right out of the can with mustard, lemon juice, pepper.
-Beans and tomato sauce (from the can)
-A spoonful of natural peanut butter (just peanuts, nothing added)
-Nuts
-Spinach salad with goat feta cheese and Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing, topped with flax seed.
-Brown rice crackers
-Bean and Bacon soup
-Gatorade or V8 Vegetable cocktail (Note: Gatorade is NOT low carb, I do not usually drink diet drinks since I react to artificial sweetener).
-Fruit to Go sticks
-Sesame Snaps (good for lows too)
-Corn cakes (like rice cakes but made with corn) and peanut butter

When I was pregnant with gestational diabetes I had oranges and apples for snacks but I always added a piece of cheese with it.

I always keep these little snack bags of baby carrots in the fridge or carry them with me. If I am at home I like to dip them in a sauce, plenty of vitamins in one of these packs and of course beta.

So I have totallyc hanged my snackages list.. having been on South beach/slimfast combo its has definaetly changes my snacking.........


now:
salad with chunk cheese and left over chciken or meat, its small bowl size
Turkey wrap: 2 slices of turkey on 1/2 Faltout bread with Spritz dressinga nd a cup of coffee or Special K protein water
nuts......... almonds, cashews, pistachios and iced tea
1 small ice cream cone: carb control with magic shell (you have to be decadent)
1 South beach raspberry bar cup of coffee
4 ounces cheese and Yoplait Apple pie light yogurt and cup of coffee
1/2 cucumber sliced in half sprinkled with salt
1 small individual bag popcorn


so drastic a change// I also found that if i ask myself : ":Am Ihungry, noshy or just want something" i can tailor what I eat.
just what I do............

I eat a piece of 2% Live Active cheese almost everyday. I also eat yogurt a lot, and sometimes just some fresh fruit. I generally stick with easy snacks, that my 2 year old will enjoy as well, since he always snacks with me.

I always have a few ziplock containers filled with sliced vegetables in the fridge at all times. I also have chick peas or any beans in another container. At anytime I need to eat, I make a quick salad and top it off with pasta sauce instead of salad dressing. It has a lot less calories than salad dressing and tastes much better to me.

I have a half piece of fruit and just eat the second half if I am still really hungry.

Home made applesauce with a tablespoon of yoghourt is also great for a quick snack. When I make the apple sauce I put it into individual small containers, so all I have to do is open one and it's a correct sized portion.

Since parsley is so good for you, I take some parsley, including the stems and chew on it. It takes a while to get the stems soft enough to swallow -- and your breath smells great afterwards too. You do need to make certain that you don't leave any green in your teeth though!
