    google recipe for one minute flax seed muffin. Since the flax is ground, possibly you could tolerate it. It is very filling and relatively healthy with tons of fiber.
    Have to check that the disease I am speaking of causes seeds nuts and popcorn to catch in your colon..had a friend have it bisected after the infection set in..but flour would be ground right?..how many cals per muffin?

    Anyone have any really good snacks that do not contain nuts or popcorn or seeds? I have diverticulitis (sp) and am tired of pretzels and carrots. Anything without too much sugar too. Am limiting my fruit too. Thank you!

    Hard cooked eggs. I cook up a dozen at a time and keep them in the refrigerator.

    Rice cakes (either white cheddar or with a little peanut butter (or soy butter if you're avoiding nut products) jam or chocolate spread on top, snap peas, greek yogurt, fruit salad (especially melon), oven baked potato wedges, scrambled eggs with veggies thrown in, oatmeal.

    Vegies for volume and fibre, protein and good fats too. I find eating 5-6 times a day tedious and unnecessary (and also makes me feel more hungry and have uneven energy) so just divide my macros between my 3 meals (or 3 plus dessert).

    I hope it is diverticulosis and not a diverticulitis attack. I have diverticulosis and I found I was sensitive to certain foods (potatoes). Avoid potatoes, no attacks. But I suspect the go, no-go foods are highly individual.

    How about bread?

    Yes I am sorry it didn't come up in my spell check..as u know seeds nuts and popcorn get caught in the colon and infection sets in..had a friend who had it..had her colon bisected...never heard of potatoes doing that..wow I love spuds..thank u for that heads up u are awesome..going bread free for a few weeks..

    All depends on how many calories I have left, I log the toppings first (usually olive oil, garlic powder, seasoning salt, onion powder, parsley and paprika or chili powder for some heat) and then I use the food scale to weigh out how much raw potato I should cut based on how many grams will fit in my allowance. If my man is also having some I will just double that and try and split it as accurately as possible afterwards.

    It has been one of the most useful kitchen tools I've picked up in the last years for sure. Without it, portions of anything but liquids are just estimates and for things that are higher calorie (like starches, butters, spreads and condiments) we can very easily over estimate enough to put us in the red. It's probably one of the main reasons for the 'what am I doing wrong I'm not losing' threads. I got mine for 5 bucks at a bargain store, for the most part they can be picked up pretty cheap.

    It really is a universal seasoning mix for almost anything. Add a little cumin to it as well and its great for taco beef/turkey/tofu or mixed in greek yogurt for a southern tex mex salad dressing.
