Snacks

Nuts? Olives? Celery? Pumpkin seeds? None of those should effect bs much. I like to graze too. Large meals aren't good for me so I graze

 

I make and love Cajun pumpkin seeds and they certainly are hard to limit. I myself am not always good with just a handful either but working on mind over matter. I do find eating makes for more eating so I try not to and the more I do the more I do if that makes sense. Working on dropping a few pounds son trying to concentrate on that but sometimes I just don't care. I crave salt too. Salty nuts/ seeds. Yum. I guess I now know how many effect bs and how many doesn't. Testing....

 

There are some amazing almonds with strong flavors by Blue Diamond (Salt 'n Vinegar, Habanero Barbecue, Honey Dijon, Sriracha, Lime 'n Chili, and Wasabi Soy Sauce). 28 almonds = 1 oz (170 calories).

 

Pepparami, sugar free sweets, home made cheese crisps, hard boiled eggs.

 

Kale crisps, cashew nuts, cold chicken, cream cheese on salami slices?

 

I like strong spicy things too, and spicy peperami, slices of chorizo and salami, and onion bhajis are good.

 

I got some spicy seeds and roasted seeds last week by the Food Doctor. They were 50g bags with a total of about 5 carbs in the whole bag. Mine were 4 for £1 in Fultons but Tesco sell bigger bags.

 

Seaweed crisps are umami enough for me, yet extremely low in calories and carbs (especially the chilli or wasabi flavoured ones from Oriental supermarkets)

Still, as I have a problem with addictive overeating, I find it easier to completely avoid snacks whenever possible. I'd rather grab a couple of chicken thighs from the freezer, cook and eat them (or any other full meal type of food). Don't always succeed, but it helps on the whole...

 

Why not make a load of cucumber slices and use them like crackers for carrying peanut butter, phili, mayo, hot sauce or whatever you fancy.

 

Hi I am a snacker too sometimes, I snack on nuts mainly unsalted cashews or pistachios / the odd small bag of pork scratchings Alpro almond or coconut yogurt with raspberries and Lidl gogi berry and linseed mix.

 

I can fully empathise with you A. Snacking is my big problem. I found another thread the other night about cashew nuts....... I bought a bag tonight in asda and they're finished already. Yummy and did the trick for me!

 

Microwave parmesan crisps, nut balls/fat balls/low carb "Bounty Bars", a dollop of nut butter or a little coconut butter, a couple of pieces of high cocoa (75%+) dark chocolate, coffee with cream, mug of homemade soup or stock cube with a dollop of (sour) cream, cheese, olives, small avocado, salami, leftover high (95%) meat sausage, nuts, small low carb muffins or cookies.... Most of these are high in fats/oils (and are low or lacking in carbs) so small amounts should be filling, and will often do for me instead of a full meal...
