wouldn't one cracker be ok ? as a snack

 

[Thommothebear]

Possibly, but I would not bother personally, I'd rather have something thats not going to feel like I've had nothing 10 minutes after I've eaten it. i'll only eat a snack if I'm actually hungry, and then I want something that makes me feel like I've actually eaten.

The multi-seed Ryvita's are very nice, they've come on a long way since looking and tasting like cardboard

I'm type 1 but I struggle with post meal spikes after eating and I really like the dark rye ryvitas with cheese, 14g carb for 2, although I can cover carbs with insulin I find these good for no big spike.

No problem with ryvita.
Decent balance, 2 ryvita, a slice of low fat cheese between them, and a slice of ham.
Breakfast sorted, today it lasted until lunch, although most days I do factor in a piece of fruit as a mid morning snack.
No hunger, no need to force in food I don't need.

I'm with Thommothebear on this one but will add, that since changing my eating pattern I do not need to snack, because quite simply I don't get hungry

 

[shane-1]

I don't eat to such a tight tolerance ,its not sustainable in the long term I need a practicle approach

 

[anna29]

Too cardboard and dry in taste for my liking

so what do you eat ? do you eat anything apart from your 3 meals a day ?

Yes, I'm the same.
Initial restraint goes a long way, and you soon realise a lot of the eating was just habit.

Ryvita is my regular breakfast, with a bit of ham and cheese.
It's a decent enough amount, and I don't feel hungry afterwards.

cool I need my glasses on I must have misread something , I eat 3 meals a day ,very little for breakfast ,small lunch and a small meal at 5.30 pm
I have something light at 8.30 pm .a piece of fruit during the day to keep my 5 a day up and to act as a mid morning or afternoon snack

 

[shane-1]

2 ryvitas would be too much for me at breakfast time ,I could eat them in evening though if I needed food

 

[anna29]

I prefer very thin wafer type cracker with cottage cheese and sliced tomatoes on

Lettuce parcels lite bites or lots of salady things lunch/tea times
Wafer thin ham , tuna , cheese , sliced boiled eggs .
Bit of fruit accompanied with couple of crackers .
Well grilled bacon and scrambled eggs .
Feta cheese , tomatoe , cucumber salad is another fave of mine !
Veg and mushroom/tomato casserole [chuck in some bacon or chicken lardons]
Home make a batch of soup [will do me n hubby lots of substantial bowls over 2-3 days]

Small portion trick is to always use a smaller plate/bowl when served on
( as LOOKS more to the eye )

No snacks - use as lite bite meals totally !
I cant deal with heavy/large meal portions
Have diverticulitis bowel condition

what kind of crackers do you use ?

I slice is about 5 g of medium GI carb.

I have a meal with parboiled brown rice most evenings which is about 20g and later in the evening I will have 3 ryvitas with cheese and pickled onion. Since I have about 20 g for breakfast and usually none for lunch - it's mostly things like tuna salad, I don't think I am pushing the boat out with 55g per day, especially when I need about 210g.

In fact, if you ate 10 of them, nearly half a packet you'd still be eating only 50g. Just make sure you put something low carb on it and not marmelade or chocolate spread

Knew you would ask me this one

Only use and buy aldi's sea salt and cracked black pepper wafer gourmet crackthin's .
Plus their small various flavours tuna tin range is fabulous .
