I have been having peanuts because I like to eat them slowly with my tea, but they always put me over in my macros for fat. I need to find a different evening snack that is protein...

What is your evening snack?

    low fat turkey, almost always, and low fat cottage cheese or a slice of multi-grain bread. The turkey helps me bump up the protein macro which is always a struggle for me.

    Turkey would be good. I also seem to end up with some protein to make up and yet I want to stray towards the fats&sats... Maybe I should get some ham cubes.

    Usually some salmon or tuna with some kind of dressing, or grilled cottage cheese and something on toast, today I am having creamed rice with a bit of jam, yum.

    Usually a small square of dark chocolate! :heart: Sometimes an ounce of reduced fat cheddar. Depends on my cravings - sweet or salty...

    ETA: Yeah, I didn't read. You want protein. My chocolate isn't helpful, but the cheese has a significant amount.

    My very new favorite is a banana cream whey shake... I JUST purchased some GNC pro performance banana cream whey a couple days ago and was blown away at how good it was... which is really weird to say because I usually HATE the taste of most protein powders lol

    Greek yogurt or homemade popcorn --- if you care about your sodium, watch out for that cottage cheese/string cheese stuff before bed....

    Right now I'm having an apple and a cheese stick. Last night I ate half a large watermelon. I'm breastfeeding and need to be eating about 3000 calories a day. I eat whatever I can at night since I seem to have a hard time eating during the day.

    This has been my snack of choice almost every night lately!! Except I add chocolate chips to it. Maybe not the best but it makes me happy and it's the only sweet I have for the day so I don't feel too guilty. :)

    Popcorn.
    Fav is with real butter and parmesan cheese. To stay low on calories I'll use Pam butter spray and any kind of spice from my spice cupboard such as lemon- pepper, garlic, nutmeg, cinnamon, even a little hot sauce sometimes

    1 scoop vanilla protein (I use DYMATIZE ELITE WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE)
    2oz crushed ice
    6 oz water
    1/2 banana

    Blend til smooth (I use a Hamilton Beach Personal Blender..LOVE it!!)

    Tastes like a rich banana milkshake

    What is your evening snack?

    Edamame's or soy beans are about 11-14g protein per 1/4 cup and are awesome.

    A 1/2 cup (give or take a bit) of Skim Ricotta + packet of Splenda + vanilla extract + some semi sweet chocolate chips, so good! Sometimes I add some chopped up strawberries too!

    Mine is a handful cocoa roast almonds and a glass of red wine, which probably doesn't help you much.
