Healthy Snacks
In the cutting phase thread i saw Wynton take a lot of heat for his choices in between meals snacks. I to sometimes find myself a little hungry between meals, or at times just need to eat on the go.
Can we discuss some healthy and productive snacks here that you guys recommend? |

Re: Healthy Snacks
This morning - inspired by the criticism - I picked up a bag of baby carrots, which is something I used to snack on. I assume that's unobjectionable.
And would it be awful if I added a little salt? |

Is it really so bad if I have one of these little guys a day? They're kept in the common area of my office and hard to resist.

Re: Healthy Snacks
wynton, its not terrible if you have a couple every week...but you are kidding yourself if you think that they are helping you out and not detracting from your weight loss goals...and i wouldn't suggest eating them alone, have some blueberries or a piece of beef jerky with them...

Re: Healthy Snacks
A nuance/nitpick, maybe semantic: Rather than by starting by adding more healthy food, start with trying to eliminate a bad choice and not replacing it with another.
Some folks are probably going to need to figure out how to get a bit of chocolate every day. If you are one of those people and you get to the point where you want to look at that, maybe consider all chocolate isn't created equal. |

Re: Healthy Snacks
i like shemps idea...instead of removing things that you really like, chocolate for example...don't completely remove it from your life, just become picky about it, don't eat crappy chocolate, get some good chocolates and treat yourself every couple days or whatever...become a food snob [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like to think to myself "this candy bar is 30 minutes of jogging" and then you decide if it's worth it. With crappy candy it's not worth it. Think of all sugar and empty calories as poison. It makes you really picky. |

Re: Healthy Snacks
Well, I stared at that little bite-size candy for too long, ate it and now I feel all dirty.
But it's so teeny, that it seems so harmless. By the way, is low-fat or non-fat yogurt (with no sugar added) pretty unobjectionable? |
