[QUOTE="IanD, post: 100614, member: 6186"] Are you able to do simple cooking? In your student situation, "grab & go" snacks are what you want, & are preferably quiet & unobtrusive to eat! I suspect as a type 2, comfort eating is a significant factor when others have their cereal bars & chocolate. I suggest the ground almond "bread" as it is quiet to eat, capable of variation & very nutritious. It is my staple bread & is suitable as a bread substitute, with very low carb. 110 g ground almonds 20 g wheat bran (optional - and/or oat bran, soya flour ...) 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp xanthan gum (optional) sifted together 1 large carrot, finely chopped (optional - and/or table spoon of sultanas, sunflower seeds ...) 50-80 g butter or marg (can use soft cheese) microwave for 1 min to soften butter beat 4-5 eggs beaten with a fork add eggs to carrot/sultana & butter mix & beat add dry ingredients & beat well adjust to dropping consistency with water or passata put into buttered (silicone) loaf vessel & bake at 175°C for 50 minutes. It keeps in the fridge for a few days, & toasts nicely. [/QUOTE]
