Weid topic: Snack foods

arggghh
All this talk of snacking and food has made want to nosh.
I went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee ......... and got a package of cookies to go along with it. At least it was a package of Snackwells and not the Famous Amos Chocolate Chip cookies that caught my eye. The Cinnabon pretzel is in there too, but since I found out that it has almost 1,000 calories (!!!!) it stays right on the shelf.

Salad and baked chicken and spinach for dinner tonight.

you guys s u ck. I just ate 1/2 a bag of Chex Mix from CVS.

i try to stick to stuff with protein...otherwise good carbs, or small amount of something bad I love cheese sticks (i'll get lowfat cheddar(my fave)or skim pollyo) and eat it with a peice of fruit..YUM! otherwise love peanutbutter..whether with pretzles or fruit it's always yummy.i also like soy crisps & i'm also a fan of 100calorie packs(if i'm craving carbs). I'll also through my own little trail mix together...some craisins with walnuts or almonds...i like doing myself rather than buying processed...there's usually more salt & preservatives in it. Yogurt is always good but i was never a huge fan. Also sugar free jellos with light reddiwhip whip creme(SO good & there's like - nothin' in it)...or a fatfree pudding cup. I also love strawberries..sometimes i'll even melt a little dark choc. to eat with them...and OH - dip a banana in dark choc. and put it in the freezer...SO good & a nice snack when u want something sweet... and can't forget popcorn..a great yummy snack. There's so much out there! honestly, i get all my ideas from fitness magazine.

our kitchen here at my office is always stocked with snacks but EVERYTHING is healthy & organic. It used to annoy me but now I like it. We always have trail mixes, dried fruit, soy nuts & energy bars hanging around. No soda, just waters, juices & teas.

We also have a chef who makes us lunch every day & its always healthy (yes, we're a little spoiled). But his idea of a 'cheat day' is when he makes veggie lasagna with no fat cheese & fruit for dessert.
Every now & then I have to go out & get a burger & fries! I can't always eat bulgar wheat & grilled fish.

Where do you work? More importantly do they have any openings???????

My Snick Snacks
A regular yogurt I've thrown in the freezer which I microwave for a bit to thaw it a tad and BAM FROZEN YOGURT
Strawberries with a packet or two of splenda mixed in
Pretzels with cream cheese (trust me it's yummy!!!!)
Smart popcorn
Shelled Peanuts-the work slows me down
almonds sunflower seed(rare)
Clementines when they are in season are so yummy
Can you tell I LOVE EATING!!!!!!!!!!

I always try to keep some sort of 100 calorie snacks around, or I'll just pre-portion some snacks in the small Ziploc snakc bags. Love the flat pretxles we buy at Costco, or almonds, animal crackers, Kashi bars, mozzarella sticks .....anything lowfat and low-calorie

I try to be good most days -- then pick 1 day a week to enjoy myself if we go out to eat

LMAO me too Kath! I am a foodie. Healthy snacking keeps me from bbecoming a Cookie Monster. I think Im going to try the prestzdels with cream cheese-i like them with peanut butter.

Ever tried the pretzel chips? Those are GREAT for dipping. They are flat pretzels essentially.

I do celery and peanut butter, or celery and cream cheese. My belly is soooo freakin full after 3 stalks. Otherwise I do maple pecan granola. 1 cup, and that totally makes my belly happy!!!

And WHAT, pray tell, is wrong with being a Cookie Monster?

right now I suck, my version of a snack is a rainbow cookie from starbucks!

But when I am being good, fruit usually does the trick, something high in fiber like a pear. I also lovenuts (stop that Marie ) Almonds, hazels, peanuts. Sometimes DD and I will have baby carrots and ranch, it's her favorite snack

Listen you!!! If your hungry you'll eat anything. Took me years to do it. It's a learning process Mrs. Long legs Maybe alot of my friends think like you, and thats why the celery NEVER goes when I make a crudite (however you spell it) platter.
