Hiya all,It's my 2nd day using the site, I have been logging my days on Word until now, but after entering all my meals I found my Fat, cabs ect are all in line with my daily allowance but I'm not getting enough Calories.
My main snack is Carrots which I can eat to my heart content but its not enough.
I'm roughly 200-300 short every day any ideas of a snack that's got the calories but not the fat content??
Thanks

Hey, I've also just started here.
I wish I could come under my calorie goal, I find it hard! Cottage Cheese makes a good snack. It tends to be high protien and low fat, so ideal. There are many different ways you can eat it depending on your preferences!0 -
A few under I wouldn't mind but to keep my ideal weight once I reach it will be hard if I start so low I think.
Are you much over you limit?
I love sweet things that's why I love to snack on carrots as they are very low in calories but very very sweet LOL. I have never tried cottage cheese :ohwell: But I suppose it worth a try, I do love cheese so it worth finding a few idea on how to eat it
Thank you xx0 -
I eat way too many carbs I think...
Time to find some low in carbs foods that I like...
Good luck with finding some calorie high snacks that aren't too high in fat
I can't suggest much, I'm on my own little journey to find foods that are better for me than the stuff I eat at the moment...

I love carbs aswel, totally addicted actually, but I've just swapped it all for wholemeal versions of the same thing, So I still enjoy pasta, rice ect I just eat brown/wholemeal. With my potatoes I just have a smaller one than I used to and add some extra greens, so i'm still getting what I love and i'm still full because of the extra veg If you like Jacket potatos Cover it in beans so you don't miss the butter
Thanks, Some great idea's above so I will be defiantly adding them to my shopping list xx0 -

Apples are a good choice, they may have carbs but they are very good for you, just keep trying different ones till you find one you love. My personal favorite is Honeycrisp, but I am going to try one called pink lady, supposed to be amazing.
Hummus and fresh vegetables (I use zucchini spears they are pretty much free food the hummus is high in protein and fills you up)0 -
Why are you avoiding fats? Fats are an essential macronutrient. Wayyyy more essential than carbs...0
