What to pack for a low carb snack.....

By Kekeboo

· 626 views

I don't eat nuts or popcorn, my surgeon said not to. So I am always looking for something to bring to the movies or on our long drives. I don't eat out anymore because it's not worth it. I don't enjoy watching everyone eat stuff i can't, so I would rather eat at home and spend my money on doing fun stuff.

 

Some things I pack:

low fat string cheese

turkey pepperoni

homemade low carb peanut butter cookies

I always like to have a protien shaker with my protien powder in it, then I just add water and a squirt of MIO.

Homemade gummy worms..I don't make these often, but they are sooooo good.

1/2 cup cool tap water

3/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda

1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid mix, any flavor

5 packets unflavored gelatin

I also like to make cheese crackers out of kraft american cheese. I don't worry about the fat content in it since I only eat one slice when I make these, and I don't make them often.

    I always have Zone protein bars in the car. They are great to have when hungry. The other night my husband had my favorite, gelato, and I had a taste, too sweet and did nothing for me. I eat out a lot and don't pay attention to what others order. Since the Band, my tastes have changed. Before I was on food right after the surgery it was my brother's birthday. He is mentally retarded and I took him out for a nice steak dinner and had an ice tea while 3 people ate. I survived.

    Good luck.

    I wasn't told not to eat popcorn and nuts, I was told not to for 6 months and after that they were fine. I eat a lot of almonds, cashews and pecans.

    I make cheese lace "cookies" crackers- whatever you wanna call them and they are yummy and satisfy my taste for salty. I spray a cookie sheet with pam and sprinkle a little Colby jack cheese in a thin layer and bake for a few. They get crispy.
