Carbs

I just don't keep carb-y foods in my house, that way I'm not tempted to snack on them. Also, I don't snack much. When I do, it's something high-protein because I have a high-protein macro set up. So I eat things like Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt (tastes like ice cream and it's 15g protein per cup) or cottage cheese. The reason I don't snack much is because I eat low carb for my meals, too, and when you don't eat carbs, you don't crave them as much. It's eating carbs that makes you hungry for more. So most of my meals are low-carb, like tuna salad (tuna, mayo, relish, eggs) on low-carb bread (Healthy Life Flax bread), or a salmon salad (Gorton's microwaveable salmon, parmesan cheese, romaine lettuce, lite Caesar dressing, and a few croutons), or chicken and veggies, etc. These meals are so filling that I'm not tempted to snack often.

Do you have an Amazon account? Look up "Carba Nada" noodles. Those are low carb egg noodles that are pretty good.

For me I stick with high protein. Carbs are my ultimate weakness eating high protein/fiber keeps me full to where I do not crave them. Hope this helps.

High protein: I do whey protein isolate everyday normally as lunch meal replacement and breakfast I normally pack it with eggs sometimes cheese or bacon bits (depends on my macros) dinner I do chicken steak (alot of steak lol) salmon is a good one (throw rosemary and lemon pepper on it) over brown rice. Then lots of veggies and fruits. Then snacks I stick with greek yogurt (14g of protein) almonds or sugar free jello.

Forget noodles! Eat meat, cheese, coconut oil, almond butter, Kerry Gold butter, pork skins, eggs, bacon....

My calorie goal is 1790. I've never really paid attention to carbs before but this app says I shouldn't go over 224 carbs. I've only been trying to lose weight for about a week now but a few of the days I have taken in 230 carbs.. I really only want to lose about 10 pounds. Thank you for the advice guys!

230 is really close to 224. Don't get wrapped up in trying to be exactly on-point with your macros. They are a guideline to give you a balance to work for you. As long as you get enough protein (at least 46 g per day for non-pregnant, non-lactating females) and fat (at least 30 g per day), you are good to go. Dietary Reference Intakes: Macronutrients

You can shift around the macro percentages to better fit your actual way of eating. For weight loss, the most important thing to watch is your overall calorie balance to make sure you are in a deficit.

You can do voodles. Cut up carrots or zucchini or just about any veggies into thin strips or use one of the spiral thingy things and top with your favorite sauce.

String cheese, almonds, boiled eggs, Apple w pnut butter, carrots with laughing cow cheese,
Cottage cheese w raisins.
