I have recently come to terms with the fact that I love crunchy foods like chips and crackers and pretzels...

So what are some good crunchy foods that aren't terrible for me?

    Nuts! Even a small amount can be quite filling and they have a good amount of protein and fat. Just had 1oz of almonds as a snack myself.

    Radishes! They have many health benefits. They can boost metabolism, help with sore throats, help with constipation, the list goes on and on. I found a great article when I googled what are the health benefits of radishes. Well I can not remember the articles name but I think it was by Organic facts. So if you google the same thing I did you should find that article, which was quite interesting. I know it may not seem like the greatest snack, but I love them and now that I know more about them I love them even more. Also try celery it takes a lot of calories to chew ha ha ha. Good luck hope you find something that works for you.:drinker:

    Weirdly enough, raw zucchini slices have been my go-to lately. I love crunching on something for a mid-morning snack at work. Salt & pepper chips were my usual habit, but they aren't quite as guilt-free as I'd like. With an enormous surplus of zucchini in my house, I sliced some up and ate that at my desk instead. Surprisingly, I don't miss my chips at all.

    This. I like shelled peanuts. No added salt or sugar, craving killer, and having to de-shell them prevents a quick pigout.

    I eat corn chips on a pretty regular basis...I just eat them in appropriate quantities, not the entire bag at once.

    I do love anything peanut related and the shells would hinder my usual loss of control when they are around. Good thinking

    Celery, celery, celery! Also carrots.
    And occasionally i'll make butter free popcorn (if you buy kernels and make it yourself you can control how much butter, salt, etc. which is helpful). It tastes great and it still healthy :)

    Pretty much any veggie you like. I like to munch on celery, cucumber, red bell pepper slices (can't stand green, but love red), raw asparagus spears, jicama. Other munchies I like are edamame, nuts and pepita seeds (portion is key!), Crunchmaster multi seed crackers, popcorn, Brad’s Raw Crunchy Kale: Vampire Killer (if I can find it on sale..that stuff is cha ching), Terra's Sweet & Beets chips, chickpeas, dried green peas, roasted okra.
