What are your snacks?

witchy_wife

I'm after some healthy filling snack ideas. I usually just have fruit (which is great but high in natural sugar and doesn't always fill me) and low cal cereal bars (think Alpen Light) which I like but they definitely don't fill me.

What are your favourite snacks?

peanut butter on wheat thins, ****in legendary

fiberartist219

I like nuts and dried fruit. The fiber is good, and the protein and fat from the nuts are satisfying.

-1oz of almonds or pistachios
-no salt added cottage cheese w/a tiny dab of pesto
-Greek yogurt
-small portion of leftovers (occasional)
-hard-boiled eggs
-Pure Protein bar
-Protein powder shake

If I'm feeling snacky after dinner and I'm about out of calories, then I have a green salad or baby carrots. Takes a long time to eat, lots of volume, practically no calories.

Lara bars are one of my newest faves. Check out the ingredients for the apple one : Dates, almonds, dried apples, walnuts, raisins, cinnamon. That's it that's all!! I love them. Otherwise, perhaps an apple with 1-2 tbsps natural peanutbutter, berries with meusli and yogurt, handful of almonds and a fruit, veggies and hummus, to name but a few.

Apples (with skin, cut into thin slices), carrots (peeled, raw), and greek yoghurt (full fat, with sugar, but awesome once in a while). Occasionally just coffee or decaf.

AliasSha

My snacks aren't as healthy as everyone else's, because I figure if I have a craving for something, I should find a way to satisfy it without risking binging later on. So I get my snack I love, for example, I am painfully addicted to gummy bears and just eat half a serving of it. it gets the craving out of the way and I half some left over for the next time I feel I have to snack

1) almond butter on a slice of Ezekiel bread
