Hello there,

What do you guys snack on?

I am currently finding after my 3 meals I am at around 1100. I am aiming for 1600.

I don't want to eat a bar of choc just to achieve my calorie goal (well... that would be nice, but I'm not going to!)



Thanks :flowerforyou:

    Almost every day I snack on almonds (170 calories per serving) and Greek yogurt (100 calories per serving).

    To up your calories, cook in healthy oils, eat nuts, nut butters, seeds, avocados...all are packed with good healthy fats.

    I do the Greek yogurt with museli added, Fiber One bars, cheese, apples with peanut butter, and I do sneek in some dark chocolates. I limit my soda intake, but every once in a while my body craves it:drinker:

    I sometimes make a quinoa salad -- high in protien, not high in calories, eat a cup of black beans (seasoned w/out pork or bacon), or soup.

    I like to mix some kashi go lean crunch with my chobani greek yogurt. Also, turkey, fruit & veggies with a little dip. If you're looking for a sweet treat, I love the Special K dark chocolate protein shakes (190 calories, 5 g fat 10 g protein).

    yogurt, nuts, banana, apple, fresh pineapple or papaya or mango, almond butter or peanut butter, granola--it really depends on where I am in my daily allotments. I don't feel a compulsion to eat all my calories, nor do I feel I have to limit myself to protein. You have to judge my your own goals and how you feel.

    Carrots, celery, string cheese, apples, and popcorn are my mainstays, but I try to mix it up and have other things now and then to prevent utter boredom.

    quaker cheddar mini quakes are sooooo good. and i think i am addicted to wheat thins too. both give me the crunch my mind needs, but without the calories of potato chips or doritos.

    I get the snacking on veggies... it's just that I have a lot of them already everyday in my lunch and dinner (chicken salad anyone?!!).

    Almonds, avacado, houmous, peanut butter and cottage cheese are winning for me at the moment... not that I have any in my kitchen at this moment :blushing:

    Thanks everyone.

    String cheese. Greek yogurt. Mixed nuts. Fruit! I want to start adding more vegetables to my snacks.

    I'm still trying to clean my pantry by consuming all the foods in moderation. (Hello, Salted Nut Roll...)
