    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.

    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.

    Nut thins are AWESOME

    Apples, always apples. Best snack for me. Always makes me feel satisfied and still tastes pretty good :) But you rarely binge on apples.

    Pretzels are not much better for you than chips, and are way less satisfying

    ya think? I love pretzels too. and I'm thinking greasy potato chips are way more bad calorie-wise. and for me, mixing chips and pretzels is soooooo gooood. when I was younger, I'd dip wise potato chips and pretzels in partially melted chocolate ice cream. you can see why i need MFP now.
