    Yes as long as you don't have to watch your sodium intake and if you do then pop your own corn with low sodium toppings.

    Yay because I love snacking on both of those! I am thinking about buying an air popper because it seems to be a healthier way to having popcorn.

    Not mixed together, but separately they're okay.

    Love the popcorn and the pickles, never ate them together though :)
    The pickles I gota watch cause of the sodium. I made some of my own from a low sodium recipe and they turned out pretty good and they have less then half the sodium the store bought ones do.

    Try a snack that combines both a carb and a protein. Ex. Apple and PB, whole wheat crackers and low-fat cheese, low-fat cottage cheese with sliced strawberries or fruit of choice, etc. Managing portion of course! Try not to have a snack that will quickly spike your blood sugar (of course pickles aren't likely to do this). It's best to combine with a protein and a bit of fat to slow digestion some and stabilize blood sugar. The quick drop in blood sugar is where you find yourself hungry again!

    I agree plus I am a Type 2 Diabetic so I understand about blood sugar highs and lows. I like your ideas but I need to find something that I like. Whole wheat crackers and strawberries lol, that's about it. I always said for years that if I ever had to go on a diet I would be in trouble because of all of the good foods I don't like but I will make this work with the help of all of my new friends on MFP!

    I use Some yellow regular popcorn in a whirly popper with just a touch of oil.
    I also like Orvell Rekenbocker Sweet and Salty Kettle corn. It has pretty good stats for what I need and I get a little sweet and a little hot.
    Just right !

    Now I've gone and talked myself into making some up.

    My two favorite snacks! But I actually have a medical condition where I require tons of sodium, so I eat pickles as a lower cal way to reach it.

    I also like melted peanut butter on my popcorn.... soooo good!

    Love that combo. Go with reduced calorie or 100 calorie popcorn and whole pickles for guilt free snacks. Da best.

    Heh, a title that seemed to be screaming my name, as I love both. Almost made popcorn tonight. I vote excellent snacks, again unless you have a need to worry about sodium.
