I know I am December but sometimes I like to look "ahead" to see what I can expect. If I need a snack I like the 6 oz. cans of V-8, Stallone Pudding, SF Jello Blox, a Ritz cracker with low fat cream cheese, a couple of strawberries mixed into a tablespoon of Lite Cool Whip, there is also a high protein cinnamon toast pretzel sticks (can't remember the brand name) and the ole stand-by half a banana with peanut butter.

Topic: RE: SNACKING

Everyone should follow their doctors rules when it comes to snacking. I generally don't snack...but sometimes I just can't make it till the next meal and need a little something (or during PMS time). When that happens I try to eat things like soy crisps (deep sea salt is my fav), string cheese (of course), 1/2 of a granny smith apple with some reduced fat peanut butter, small orange (I eat one everyday with my iron...vit C helps with the absorbtion of iron), sunflower seeds, or peanuts.

Topic: RE: SNACKING

Dear Amy, I don't snack much--usually just a glass of skim milk between the end of work and dinner time, but I have had pumpkin seeds (1oz. = 110 cal. & 7 protein) or jerky. Both have been good on my stomach but do require a bit of chewing--especially the jerky. Sometimes I'll get a tough piece of jerky and have to spit out the last bit. I use the Power Crunch bar as my breakfast, but that is the only supplement I use. Well, I do have an occasional Profect drink when I am low on protein, but that is rare. Hope this helps, Sally

IF I snack....I usually eat a Granny Smith Apple or a small bag of popcorn....that's about it for me.....sometimes some grapes maybe.

Hi Amy. I snack on cottage cheese with salsa, dannon lightand fit yogurt, Beef jerkey, and sometimes soy chips. I can't wait to see what everyone else snacks on. I get tired of the same old things.
