Does anyone have any good band friendly snack ideas?

My doctor frowns on snacks even during bandster hell. Some things I tried however were low fat string cheese, or chicken breast strips.

..i would love to know as well... and get some recipes. im writing down all the info that i think i need.... im going to have surgery hopefully in march myself. meantime everything im learning im writing down as i said. i want some recipes and ideas as well. its really good to have the notes to refer to... and i read through every now and again.

I like to keep small baggies of 1/2 serving of insalted mixed nuts and 1 full serving of Sunsweet Plum Amazins on my person at all times. I can't usually finish the whole thing but def does the trick for me when a snack is necessary.

so you dont have any problems with eating nuts?/ i did wonder about whether it would be possible to swallow nuts. how do you go with things like figs/ prunes? and salad items?? are they able to be eaten without trouble as well??

My favorite snack is the Emerald brand almonds(cocoa flavored) mixed with some blueberries. I mix it with the blueberries so I wont eat too many of the almonds. They are a great source of Protein but could be a lot of calories if you eat too many of them.

Another snack I eat almost every night i s sugar free choc pudding mixed with a couple teaspoons of fat free cool whip and a half scoop of unjury proteing powder. That is a great way of getting in some extra protein.

If I have an urge for some chips, I will eat about 20 Special K chips. That is less than a hundred calories and they are actually quite good.

My nutritionist says to stay away from snacking also, but I lose weight so much better if I eat small, low calorie meals and have a couple of low calorie high proteing Snacks in between. It also helps me to feel satisfied all the time and not eat a bunch of junk that I shouldnt eat because I always know that I am going to get something good to eat every couple of hours but I make good choices about what to eat.

I do well with the chopped prunes and most nuts I have to chew very well and only a few at a time. It was really a trial and error process, I can't eat walnuts right now but cashews and almonds go down well. If you have trouble with nuts my trainer recommended sunbutter. I haven't tried it yet but it's supposed to have less fat than peanut butter.

Im suprised to find out that my favorite snack is a Special K chocolate protein shake mixed with 1 scoop of whey protein. I never thought this would be something I look forward to. The weigh protein powder doesnt break down completely so its like drinking pudding. Its so good and I love it!

I like:

• low fat string cheese
  
• low fat cottage cheese
  
• Babybel Light cheese.
  
• sugar free Jello brand pudding (they have some great flavors, like Boston Creme Pie)
  
• raw veggies dipped in Hidden Valley fat free Ranch dressing.
  
• Skinny Cow candies/treats. (Only 100 calories per serving so good when a sweet tooth is threatening to derail me.)
  

My life saving snacks:

Babybel or string cheese

Snack packs of beef Jerky

Fat free choc pudding with whey Protein (I add the 1 scoup)

Oh Yeah bars (high protein 8 g's)

Jello

Or sometimes I just have chicken or beef as I am on a high protein diet.

Good luck!

i like sweet and/ or crunchy, so peanut butter is my lifesaver, but i also like unsalted nuts mixed with raisins, chocolate sugar free pudding when frozen taste like ice cream, a half of a special k bar. i rarely crave salty foods but when i do i like lo fat salsa chips made with home made salsa {chopped tomatos, green onion, and cilantro) or a new product i just found at costco-"sensible portions garden veggies chips"about 110-130 calories for a bag of 38 veggie chips. delicious !

also i forgot about turkey jerky if you can find it. try a sportmans store, its less salty than reg jerky but still high in protein. kinda addicting so i rarely get it

..so peanut butter is acceptable then?? we have ready access to that. im not sure about the sugar free choc puddings... i will have to do a search i think. its really hard living where i am in Tasmania, Australia. im going to try and find these though. thanks for this info.

Oh, I could list at on of healthy Snacks. But the thruth is if I snack, I snack on crap like Cookies, and I overdo it, I find it very hard to stop until I've eaten a "meal". So I dont.

in the process of NOT snacking, I might have a few nuts, a small piece of cheese etc. But I dont plan snacks.
