I am stuck in a rut! I eat healthy but healthy is actually full of natural sugar which counts in the daily goals. I need to know some snacks so i can actaully eat my calories (an extra 400-500 calories with exercise) without constanly going over my sugars. What are suagr free snacks?? It seems an impossible problem to fix

A handful of sunflower seeds are a good low sugar snack (you can buy them unsalted too)0

Don't worry too much about natural sugars. It's refined sugar that you really have to keep an eye on. That's what the clever people say, anyway.0

* Sugar free jello.
* Sugar free pudding [there is naturally occuring sugar in milk- almond milk is lower though].
* EAS Advantage makes a low carb protein shake- 110 calories and 3 net sugars.
* Nuts are a great way to eat calories, without a lot of sugar and you get trace minerals, etc.
* Hommus or reduced sugar peanut butter with with low glycemic index veggies [raw peppers, celery, etc.]
Hope this helps!0 -

What's the difference from sugar in a candy bar, and some vegetables? just the rate it gets absorbed. Which one is bad for you? the candy bar. The vegetables are healthy. If you're not eating junk, don't worry about the sugar.0 -
Whole wheat crackers and cheese sure adds calories but you're also getting some protein. (sigh) God I miss cheese

Sometimes I post and don't see posts before mine, then I see them once I've hit "post" and I've said the same thing as some others.
Sorry for being redundant!0 -
^^ id go with the string cheese. Sargento low fat string cheese is really good. Also if you're a dessert person, get some sugar free mousse temptations. I think that's what they are called. 60 calories, no sugar, 100 mg of sodium. Oh and "Stacys Pita Chips" are awesome. Raw unsalted almonds too - you can get them in little 100 calorie bags0

Coming from a family of diabetics.... Sorry to say that natural sugars do count too.
I try to watch out for hidden sugars in prepared foods. They are pervasive and often only there to increase your appetite.0 -
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. My Dad is a diabetic so i too know that natural sugar is something to watch. Sugar is sugar, eventually it does the same thing as refined sugar.
String cheese? I dont think we get that in New Zealand... will have to have a look around.0 -
It doesn't have to be string cheese, any cheese will do.0
-
nuts, veg like cucumber or celery with hummus (carrots will have sugar), berries and watermelon are really low in sugar0

sadly that is the current myth on these boards. I eat plenty of fruit and take great pains to balance them out so I don't go over my sugars0 -
Carrot sticks or Celery. Both are very low in calorie and the crunching (I find) is very satisfying.0

exactly. Worry about added sugar in processed food etc, but really, if youre going over by eating carrots and apples, dont fret. Thats not whats going to make someone gain weight.
The only time youd really need to watch that is if you were diabetic0 -
Walnuts or peanuts are great.0
-
dry fry a mix of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds until they start popping and swelling. Toss in a dash of soy sauce and heat until that gets absorbed.
Mix this with a handful of raisins/sultanas if you like.
Tasty and good for you. I usually prepare a batch of seeds and decant to keep in my bag in case I get peckish (prevents those accidental falling into a chocolate bar........)0
