Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm a huge fan of all greek yogurt. I try to watch the sugar and fat content. My fave is plain or vanilla yogurt mixed with fresh or frozen fruits. I have the Chobani Apple and Cinnamon fat free for desert often. I also discovered the Yoplait Greek 100 calorie greek yogurts. They're lower calories and have less sugar than Chobani and taste pretty darn good. Beef Jerky is also a snack I enjoy often. My personal fave is Perky Jerky. 3 Kookichu, m.simpson88 and DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FitnFabfor2014 358 Posted January 29, 2014 Anyone have any snack ideas also for someone who is 3 weeks out (still on pureed) too? I am so done with yogurts, applesauce and Protein shakes . I can't wait until I am able to snack on those things when I'm 6 months out. 2 monica091199 and tomassini reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted January 29, 2014 When I want a little something I have a wedge of 35 calorie cheese on a couple of lo fat crackers. It's only around 100 cals and quite filling. 2 Ladybandito and DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arts137 1,811 Posted January 29, 2014 This is gonna sound strange, I admit it. I plan my food, and do not snack unless on the plan (I am an addict). When I get a craving, I drink Water. Helps me feel full for a little while! 3 Ladybandito, Dee_1111 and DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlet333 386 Posted January 29, 2014 Sometimes if I have a higher calorie day and feel like having something in the the evening I have a low sugar hot cocoa made with Water. It is about 25 calories and satisfies that sweet craving. Also sipping something hot takes awhile and can curb your appetite. 4 NMJG, VSG AJH, Ladybandito and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great flavors (my favorite is pineapple) and only 80 calories. 1 Danni-doinit4me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erp 2,016 Posted January 29, 2014 My favorite snack is carrot chips and Protein dip. Carrot chips are carrots sliced like crinkle cut potato chips, I find them next to the baby carrots in my produce dept. I make protein dip by mixing a container of low fat cottage cheese, my favorite dip mix (ranch, French onion, etc) and a little bit of milk or sour cream all in the food processor until smooth. 5 ddw12, MistyfortheMountain, DLCoggin and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mama Spike 144 Posted January 29, 2014 How is the beef Jerky on your sleeve? It sounds great but I am worried I might not tolerate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coachdk 72 Posted January 29, 2014 7 weeks out; no problems with Jerky. I carry a package of turkey jerky in my car for emergency meals! 1 Mama Spike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLCoggin 1,788 Posted January 29, 2014 Pacific Gold Teriyaki Turkey Jerky (Costco), Old Wisconsin Turkey Sausage Bites (Walmart), almonds are my favorite but almost all nuts are healthy (watch the portion size - they are high in calories), yogurt, cottage cheese, Decaf coffee, fresh cauliflower, broccoli and/or carrots (love the idea above for making your own dip from cottage cheese!), just about any kind of fruit (have to be a little careful with the sugar - I dumped once on red grapes), cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapple, Quaker Popped Rice Cakes (they come in sweet and savory flavors) - Snacks do not have to be synonymous with unhealthy!
