I'm tryna not become obsessive with things I eat. Like I cut our sodas and fried foods...but I started freaking out if I should eat a sandwich or not. So, what do you guys eat for snacks and lunch?

    Nothing wrong with a sandwich! :) I just had one for lunch (buffalo chicken on rye with hummus and cheddar).

    I don't snack a lot but when I do it's usually chips or nuts. I cook a nice dinner most evenings so I typically have leftovers for lunch.

    My snacks are usually a protein paired with either a raw veggie or fruit. Just because a cheese stick, greek yogurt, or deli meat is something easy to throw in my bag along with some cucumber, carrots, berries, orange, or apple.

    I eat a wrap for breakfast or lunch almost every day.

    What do you put in your wraps?

    For snacks, I like beef jerky, Babybel mini wheels, apples, carrots, clementines, steamed sweet potato, berries, dark chocolate, or sometimes as a treat, Reese's peanut butter eggs!

    I love sandwiches...so much! I try to load up on the protein and veggies instead of more bread and cut out all mayo/oil/etc. I add avocado for creaminess.

    For snacks, I like string cheese (8g protein) and fruit or Think Thin bars.

    Anyone tried Cloud Bread yet? I have a few recipes to try out myself. Any feedback. :D

    I did years ago. It definitely satisfied some sandwich cravings when I was doing Atkins.

    I usually eat this home made snack (the silicone mold I make it in allows me to easily break it up into pieces to hit the calorie target that I want.)

    ¼ cup rolled oats
    1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
    ¼ cup of chocolate rice protein powder
    ⅓ cup of original almond milk
    1 teaspoon pb fit
    1/2 teaspoon of EnerG Egg Replacer (mostly potato starch which is my low calorie binder)

    Bake in a bar shaped silicone for around 15 minutes at 350°

    Nutritional profile:
    27.3g protein
    26g carbs (4.5g fiber, 4g sugar)
    3.1g fat (.4 saturated, 1.4 polyunsaturated, 1.2 monounsaturated)

    A half sandwich with ham and a slice of cheese is a nice snack for me.

    i don't believe in cutting out food groups, and sandwiches are most definitely a food group, so eat a sammich for your lunch :)

    i usually eat fruit for snacks, or sometimes crackers with peanut butter or cheese and tomato. I just find carrot sticks so tedious and un-enjoyable to eat.
