Apples! For me they seem to satisfy every craving.0

You can also stretch them out by crushing them - leave chunks, don't turn them into powder - and sprinkling over ice cream, peanut butter, chocolate. You can use them as a crust on pork or chicken and saute. You get the essence of pretzel and so much more.
In a world that actually sells things like 'dirt' perfume, you need to keep your mind open. :laugh:
Besides, I may have pretzel on the brain. I'm going to be attempting to make soft pretzels from scratch this weekend - fulfilling a Christmas promise.0 -

pink ladys are my favorite0 -
When I was a kid I would eat the entire giant bag of pretzel sticks. There was just something about them.
Try Nut Thins as a healthy snack chip. They're made of crushed almonds and if you like dips and salsas, they are sturdy enough to hold up. Blue Diamond makes them and they come in various flavors. Little nutty sweetness, touch of salty, very crunchy, and very good for you since they're made of high protein nuts.

mmm i am going to look for those at the store tonight, thanks for the tip!
I first came aross Nut Thins in an "end-cap" (end-of-the-aisle) grocery store display of gluten-free products. I don't have any problem with gluten, but they sounded good, so I bought some, and they really are tasty. I like the plain almond flavor, but they also come in smokehouse almond, cheddar cheese almond, country ranch almond, hazelnut, and pecan. Anyway, if you have any trouble finding them, you might look in the store's gluten-free section.0 -
WHY DO THEY MAKE ME CRAVE MORE??? WHAT ARE GOOD SNACKS THAT DON'T TURN ME INTO A HOOVER VACUUM CLEANER EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT?
avoiding things is a strategy, but for many it only leads to temporary success. finding some better way to control yourself and still enjoy things you like is really the only long term solution that can truely be satifying.
Probably there are reasons why you are inhaling the pretzels other then they are simply to delicious. I took an online quiz that told me i was an emotional eater, and just knowing that gave me half a chance of stoping the behavior before it was too late on a case by case basis.
I work 2 part-time jobs and for some reason there are containers of pretzels at both. I walk in the door of the 2nd job and reach for them. GAAAAA .... just a handful... or two... then I usually settle in... get the work started then, if it's not busy... heat and eat dinner. but 3 handfuls of pretzels have been consumed while we change shifts.0 -
One of my favorite snacks is a cut up apple and a serving of pretzels. It's a large snack that lasts a while when watching a movie and fills you up. It's 190 calories and you get your sweet and salty. I really like the combo.0

Pretzels, although delicious, have really no nutritional value. You need some protein, fiber, even some fat to get more of that satisfied feeling.
Per 100g of pretzels
2.6g fat
Sodium 1200mg
Potassium 136mg
Carbs 80g
Fiber 3g
Sugar 2g
Protein 10g
Iron 28%
Calcium 1%
Magnesium 7%
As you can see aside from having to drink a little more water the pretzel provides carbs for energy, potassium and is loaded with iron. A good food if you ask me!
The most likely make you crave more because of the salt or you need to drink more water.0 -
