so i've been a bad bad wls patient and have slipped off the bandwagon with my eating habits.

i've decided to get my act together and get back on the high protein, low carb train and try to get back into losing more weight.

i am running low on ideas for crunchy things to snack on during the day that are not chocked full of carbs.

i know edamame is a good option, has anyone tried roasted chick peas?

or does anyone have any good suggestions for a crunchy, salty snack that is high in protein?

I know that YouTube channel rockybarrigan has done a few recipes using chickpeas. If I remember correctly, she used chickpeas as a savory and as a cinnamon based recipe (salty vs sweet). I bought a can, but haven't used them yet. I haven't checked yet, but I'm sure either Bariatric Foodie and/or Eggface has some recipes

Prior to my surgury I made a batch of roasted chickpeas,  they were great the day I made them, sorta good the next day and not so good on the third day,  if was to make them again I would cook them a little longer and make them a little more crunchy and use more spice than the recipie called for.

I like snacking on Almonds. Either Lightly salted or Wasabi Soy.

Here's something you may like

Baked Zucchini chips.

 

       

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil & spray with canola oil. Set aside.   2 Slice zucchini into thin medallions with a mandoline slicer, about the thickness of a quarter.   3 Lay out slices on prepared baking sheet & spray tops lightly with additional cooking spray. Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. (NOTE: Use LESS than what seems appropriate.)
You can use Parmasan cheese for some protein!!!!

These shrink considerably in the oven & if you use too much it gets very concentrated. It's better to end up underseasoning & add more later.)   4 Place in oven & bake 45 minutes. Rotate baking sheet & bake an additional 30 - 50 minutes, until chips are browned & crisped to your liking. These are best eaten within a couple hours of removing from the oven, as they start to get chewy if left out.

Nut are a good snack full of healthy fats. Yes, they have high calories, but they also have protien and those good fats. Sunflower seeds maybe?
