Snack Trick!

I feel like nuts would not fill me up at all. My mom does the same thing she'll just have a handfull of peanuts....I dont think peanuts will do it for this girl! lol I usually make myself 2 eggs with toast

for a SNACK??? Holy cannoli!! :laugh:

Are you saying that's a bad snack? I think it's a great one, not many more calories than a serving of nuts and a great source of protein and fiber if it's whole grain so will fill you up.

I don't think that's a bad snack at all. I had almonds last night before bed, but depending on what your goals are, 2 eggs and whole grain toast is only about 200ish calories so if it's in your calorie range, why not?

Eggs are my favorite, easy peasy food!! I always have boiled eggs ready in the fridge. I have cholesteral issues so do not eat as many of the yolks. I love to make 3 whites/1 yolk omelet with 1/2 oz shredded ched............*mouth watering now*

That's what I do too! Except I will usually chop up some spinach or peppers or other veggies with bacon bits and/or parmesan cheese to put into it and make a frittata or scramble. Even more recently I've been using egg beaters and making my frittatas.

yummo.....I love any kind of veggie in there. The other day I scrambled the eggs, added a bit of cheese, and when all thru I threw 2 tbls of salsa on top while the bread was toasting......it was really good

Almonds have about 7 -8 calories each, so be sure to get the raw. The roasted ones or flavored may have more calories.
I usually have 10 to 12 for a morning snack and with water that keeps me going till lunch. I usually keep them at work so
I have not tried them before bed time. I usually do yogurt at before bed. I just read an e-mail from realage about foods to
help you sleep and yogurt was one of the items listed. :happy:

25 cinnamon almonds weighed an ounce on our food scale and 1 oz has 150 calories. But, boy, are those ever good! Is hard to eat just 1 oz. We find them in the pproduce section, like Arewethereyet said.

Do you make the cinamlan...cinmanin....those kind yourself or buy them? if you buy them what brand? sounds yummy!

We buy them from the Kroger chain in our area (King Soopers). They are found in the produce section in 1 lb plastic bags. I think Suntree is the brand. I've also seen them labeled as California-grown Cinnamon Almonds. We have also found them at natural foods stores in bags or tubs as well as in the large barrels that you scoop out yourself. They are coated with a cinamon/brown sugar coating but suprisingly not very much sugar is on them so they are OK - just as long as you don't eat the whole bag at one time! :laugh: We must have mice because half the bag is gone usually by the time I get home from work! :laugh: :laugh: And since we're empty nesters...IT COULDN'T BE MY BETTER HALF SNEAKING ALL OF THEM, COULD IT? :noway: :noway:

Former President Clinton selected cinnamon-glazed almonds as his snack of choice at the 1993 and 1997 presidential inaugurations. I can see why because they are just about the best thing I've ever tasted!

:laugh: I will look for them this weekend.

Any luck finding them? They're about $2.99 /lb here in our Kroger-owned store but much more expensive at the "Natural Foods" stores! LOL!

Saw them yesterday in one of those "natural foods" stores for $6.49/lb! :noway:

Shoulda just stuck a gun in your ribs instead! :laugh:
