What's your favorite healthy snack??

 

When focusing on the right things to eat, I'm constantly looking for snacks that are in line with good nutrition and would love to find out what some of your favorites are

I don't eat "healthy" per se, because I'm trying to gain some weight

 

When I start to feel extremely guilty about what I've been eating, though, I like to grab some raw veggies, like baby carrots and cauliflower. Now that I have braces I can't really eat the carrots anymore

 

Triscuit and graham crackers are pretty good. Especially chocolate graham crackers *defeats the purpose with her mighty Tootsie Roll sword* But seriously....

 

There's also this great stuff called "Nuvim" that I like to drink. My stomach can't really handle milk, so this is a good alternative. I think it has like 100% of Vitamin C, Potassium, Calcium, stuff like that in it. It has a milky texture and smells kinda funny, but tastes pretty good. It comes in Orange Tangerine and Strawberry Vanilla. I prefer the Tangerine myself

I eat baby carrots sometimes. They work good for killing the munchie urge. I will eat them when I get hungry and don't want to make anything, instead of patato chips.....

I like to have a Jello low fat pudding cup Devils Food Chocolate.....

 

110 calories per serving ..1.8 grams of protien, 1.2 grams of fat and 33 grams of carbs...plus it satisfies my chocolate cravings

--Apples, Oranges, Bananas, Grapes, fruits are just good .

 

--Non fat yogurt - they make some very interesting flavors of it.

 

--Celery (especially with a touch of peanut butter or a dab of reduced-fat salad dressing), baby carrots, grape tomatoes

 

--Low Sodium Soup - some companies make these cool little "on the go" soups that are good when you're hungry.

 

--Granola Bars....not the ones slathered in chocolate and marshmallows. I like crunchy ones personally (nature's Valley Honey and Oat - a little high in calories for a quick snack though), and some Cereal Bars are ok but watch the sugar content.

 

--Dry Cereal - Especially Cheerios and Kashi

 

--A handful of nuts - don't go overboard because nuts are pretty high in calories, but they are full of "good fat" and have been proven to be very filling, yummy, and nutritious.

 

--If you're craving a salty snack, grab a few pretzel rods, better if you go for low sodium. These aren't very filling though, I try to get high-fiber snacks because our classes in school are long and I'm starving if I eat "quick carb" snacks like pretzels.

I don't count calories, just carbohydrates.

 

Anything low in carbs == good to me.

Well I like quite a bit of healthy snacks like fruits and some other stuff like eggs, milk, some kinds of cheese....

 

I also am trying to gain weight but I just can't. I eat and eat (sometimes healthy and unhealthy) and don't gain much or any weight but If I do the next day the weight goes back down to the same it was the day before. I think I got a high motabalism (sp?) I think all gain my weight in my early 20's to late 20's so I am not considered skinny.

 

back on topic I guess it would be apples.

Boiled eggs- Fill you up quick and full of protein. Boil 20 at the start of the week and you got easy snacks for the rest. And for variety sometimes with the yoke sometimes without.
