Crunchy snack ideas that are high protein low carb? Go!



Recommended Posts

I know some people make baked cheese crisps. I haven't done so but will probably try it someday.

I like Mr. cheese O's. A package is my post-swim snack.< /p>

Once you are cleared for all foods, try some raw vegetables for crunch. If you eat them with Protein (cheese, cottage cheese, tuna, Peanut Butter, etc.), you can get in your Protein.< /p>

I recently got a bag of little sweet peppers and have been eating them with everything.

Kay's Naturals and Quest both have protein chips that are pretty good.

I like roasted chickpeas. You can make them yourself and season them anyway you like. I also love steamed edamame pods. For a filling crunch, I like cucumbers with a splash of Sriracha and lime juice. Not exactly high Protein, but terrific if you like crunchy and spicy. All are naturally good for you.

For baked cheese crisps, grate some cheese and make little patties on a silpat sheet or nonstick cookie sheet. You can season anyway you like. Then bake at 350 until golden brown (about 5-7 mins). Once they cool they are crunchy.

I make microwave cheese crackers. I take one slice of DELUXE American cheese (it must be deluxe) and cut it into 16 tiny squares. I lay them on a sheet of parchment paper (NOT wax paper!) and space them out as much as humanly possible. I microwave for one minute then in 30 second intervals til done (they usually take 1:45 in my microwave but microwaves vary). Sixteen crackers for about 80 calories and zero carbs (or negligible carbs anyway-less than zero). I don't get it but they puff up like a cracker and magically turn from square cheese to circle crackers. It is low carb microwave magic LOL

Cucumber slices if you can have raw veggies at 6 weeks. just slice them thin.

Sliced and peeled cucumber with lemon is my most favorite crunchy snack.< /p>

Pre-Op I was addicted to peanuts and I have to really control myself now that I can eat solids again. I limit myself to 10 peanuts a day on the days I have them.

Genisoy is a co that makes soy crisps, they come is sea salt and ranch and are kind of like tiny thin rice cakes. I love them and dipped in salsa I they are just like tortilla chips. I'll put a smudge of Peanut Butter and jelly on them when I want something sweet. I highly recommend them.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
