Besides veggies and fruit....anything else to snack and munch on? missing carbs

depends how far out. at 4 weeks I liked tortilla chips and nuts. Now protein bars. Don't be afraid of carbs, need before exercising and to keep stamina. your plate should be 1/4 carbs. I still have 1/2 baked potato with a steak.

My favorite crunchies are dry roasted almonds or wasabi soy almonds:)

I like almonds as well. Sam's sells a huge bag of them for about $9. Amazon also has some cheese chips that are crunchy. I'm not sure what the brand is, but they are in a yellow bag. Search for cheese chips on the site and you'll find them. I also like baked cheetos sometimes for the crunchy stuff.

Ritz also makes a mini cracker which is pretty good with Peanut Butter on it. I can only eat a couple of them, but they satisfy the need for crunch for me. I also eat pickles sometimes for the same reason.

I love Golden Flake Sweet Heat Barbaque pork skins. YUMMM sweet and spicy and not too bad on the calories. I also do nuts.

Parmesan crisps - I love the salty cheesy flavor. These only come out nice and crispy if you use freshly grated Parmesan, though, and since the cheese is the only ingredient you're better off investing in a nice, quality wedge.

I love the Kashi crackers and can only eat 4 or 5 at a time, even at nearly 17 months out.

I'd be careful, though. Popcorn is my favorite salty/crunchy snack and it definitely slides. I can eat far more than need to be eating in one sitting!

I love almonds, they satisfy a lot of cravings. My downfall was always the salty, crunchy foods. Two things I really like that satisfies that are 365 Veggie Straws, which I get from Whole Foods, and Special K's cracker chips, especially the sour cream and onion ones. They are both lightly salted, and you can eat a good quantity of them for about 110 calories.

oh my gosh tortilla chips and nuts at 4 weeks? that is giving me a panic attack just thinking about it, My NUT said I cant have anything but mushies till 8 weeks, the only semi solid I can have is deli meat or Canned chicken, I would love some rotisserie chicken about right now but she said not till 8 weeks I dont think they are ever going to let me have tortilla chips, I am at 3 weeks and would love to go order a meat burrito and just eat part of the inside not the shell but I am too afraid...

Genisoy crackers http://www.genisoy.com/products/snacks/soy-crisps/ , almonds (11 are 100 cals so keep track), Kashi go lean cereal http://www.kashi.com/products/golean_original ...13 gms of protein!

sliced cheddar cheese on parchment paper, put in microwave ( about 1 min.) till crisp, drain fat. Yum!

My favorites are pistachios (I usually have 10 at about 4 calories each) and Kay's Naturals Crispy Parmesan Protein Chips. They are about 110 calories per oz. and have 10 grams of soy protein. The chips aren't the type of food to be making a meal out of, but I find that 1/2 oz. really satisfies my cravings for a crispy snack.
