hey! eating something snack-y every couple hours seems to help. some of my standbys: - greek yogurt (i like 2%, but 0% is palatable too), either plain, with fresh fruit or preserves, or drizzled with high-quality honey - icelandic skyr (fat-free but uber-thick yogurt) - almonds (natural-style is tasty but not so addictive you eat the entire jar) - seaweed crackers (or any asian crunch!) - string cheese - hard-boiled egg - seasonal fresh fruit! so right now, that means blood oranges and kumquats. - natural-ingredient pocketable granola or nut bars (i like TLC and nature valley) - non-fried dried noodle or rice soups - hummus and cut-up vegetables (carrots, celery, cauliflower) or pita - a nice hunk of rich cheese on bread or a cracker! only need a couple to feel really satisfied. wine optional :) - a ham-egg-cheese on english muffin at dunkin donuts (i know, it's a guilty pleasure, but 300 calories and a pretty good blood-sugar-balancing ratio of carbs, protein and fat) - making sure your hunger stays in check
doesnt matter what brand... seaweed + rice crackers. come in nuggets or discs or bits. i also adore nori, straight, but it's easy to make a whole package disappear :)
another favorite snack: pickles. although the sodium can really wreck with you if you OD.
i am eating a nice piece of dark chocolate - my favorite. according to the packet, the serving size is 4 pieces, or a third of the bar (4ww points). i just had one piece for now. but there must be a benefit to eating dark chocolate, right?!

Christine,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your snacks!! I'm also into seasonal fruit and am eating a blood orange with cheese a day!! It's so yum...
Also, what kind of seaweed crackers do you eat? I actually like eating seaweed straight from the package!
