Beef Jerky, Slim Jims and the occasional piece of cheese are my Snacks.

Oscar Myer makes a P3 pack that has all nuts, cheese and ham/turkey/chicken pieces in them.....usually 11g-13g Protein and low carbs. I'll eat these as Snacks or even as Breakfast on my drive to work.

Don't do it. You will find you can gorge yourself and never feel full on this stuff. Keep it clean

@@tracy amanda. Eating the occasional treats vary from person to person, so the decision to occasionally eat unhealthy choices is up to you.

What has worked for me: I ate very strictly while I was in the "losing phase". I never had any treats or even the occasional cracker, rice, bread. However, once I entered my maintenance phase I incorporated some healthy carbs such as whole grain rice, sweet potatoes, beets, more fruit, etc. I also will eat the occasional treats such as Cookies, chocolate, doughnuts, etc.

I have always logged my food so I have been able to see patterns and identify how many calories and carbs I can safely eat before the weight gain starts.

For some eating unhealthy carbs can be a trigger to go down a slippery slope. However, if you are able to eat them and immediately get back on your normal plan then the occasional treat isn't bad.

I go for rich, raw, low sugar options from Whole Foods.
