Hi Everyone

I find that I'm doing great in terms of sticking to my calories and fat, but I tend to go over on carbs nearly every day. I eat three meals and a few snacks in between. I see that most of my carbs are coming from a handful of snacks— on a typical day, that includes a kashi bar, a chai tea latte (my one vice in life), and fruit... which make up most of my carbs for the day.


I'm looking for suggestions for lower-carb snack items. Suggestions?

Thank You!

    Cottage cheese with fat free Catalina dressing tastes good and it’s high in protein.

    imake cottage cheese snack pots.. and mix from sweet to savoury, today its cottage cheese witha sprinkle of canderel and fresh strawberries, tomorrow ill change it to blueberries, and cherry tomato, garlic, and onion for later in week!!!

    I also make flax bread/muffin - look up MIM, i made one this morning in afternoon, 30g flax, 1 egg, a pinch of salt, baking powder, a lil canderel sweetner, tbs butter (i use low fat).. I make them sometimes with garlic and herbs, others with vanilla/lemon essence, and at the weeknd i topped one with ricotta cheese and fresh strwberries for a treat!!! you throw the whole lot into a microwaveable bowl and mix well, them in microwave for 2.5 mins.... easy, quick and like magic makes a great substitute for bread!!!


    I also eat low cal yoghurts for a quick and handy snack although you have to watch carbs in those too!!!


    you can check out my diary if you like, its open ;-),

    Beef Jerky, it's all I'll get on the road when I'm travelling.


    Good luck with your low-sodium goals of 2011 tho.
