BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Favorite Snack

What's your favorite snack to eat? I love devilled eggs but I only make those when people come over, for some reason it seems like too much work otherwise. I'll eat celery or broccoli with a sour cream onion soup mix as a general snack.

I"m not gonna lie, it's chocolate, chocolate anything. But... I found an answer. The Viactive Calcium Chews are delicious, and yeah they're like 3 grams of carbs per chew, but they give me a taste, and I take 2 of them a day.

String cheese is my grip on sanity!
It's prepackaged and fast, and I can eat it on the go!

I also like to nibble on nuts of just about any variety, and V8 juice gives me that little bit of something that I feel like I'm missing.

i wouldn't call it my fave snack but these days I prefer drinking tea to ease hungers & from eating un-necessarily.

1 of my fave flavors's camomille & I always add a packet of Splenda to it before drinking

I love Stacy's Pita Chips-all flavors ;-)

I have been eating nuts for a snack, they really fill me up so no hunger pains, but my wt loss is slow. How many nuts are too many??

My weakness is crisps, whenever where ever crisp are just the best mmmmm mm lol

I really enjoy nuts, and I actually take the Viactiv calcium and vitamin chews. I know I should take "better" vitamins and really do try to, but I choke on them. So at least with the Viactiv I know I'm getting *some* vitamins into me each day, and if I also manage to choke down the better ones, so much the better.

Nuts are really healthy, and much better than just about any junk food you might otherwise eat. I'm in fact eating peanuts right now as I type this. That being said, they are a high energy food - even though that energy is primarily fat. Also many people are mildly allergic to nuts - not to the point of breaking out in red rashes, but maybe to the point of bloating or not digesting food well. So that's why many diets advise holding back on nuts at least in the beginning, so your body sheds the majority of the weight before you see how nuts affect you personally.

That all being said, the key to any diet is that you can keep eating that way. If you resort to eating junk food because you have a craving, nuts are WAY better for you than junk food. On the other hand, if you'd be just as happy with celery sticks, broccoli bites and so on, those would be more nutritious and less energy-providing.

I also find having a few hard boiled eggs in the fridge is great if hungry between meals.A handful of shrimp are really good too

Yes yes hard boiled eggs are GREAT!! That's a wonderful idea, xmouse151. There are lots of times that I want an egg but I don't feel like waiting an hour or whatever to cook and cool one. If it was just sitting in the fridge I would definitely eat it.
