Does anyone have snacks

[msshellg 63]

Do you snack? If so what do you eat. I know not sugar but do have any go to foods. Or do you just eat 3 meals.

I have Quest Protein Bars or sugar free Popsicles.

The Quest have 20 or 21 grams of Protein in them and they are made with Stevia.

I buy the sugar free Bomb Pop Popsicles.

Sometimes I might have some almonds.

Thank you for responding. Sometimes I eat a piece of fruit, I eat watermelon a lot. I just don't want to do anything wrong

I eat dried edamame, mozzarella sticks, beef Jerky, Premier Protein crisp bars (satisfies my sweet tooth), a tsp of peanut butter.. Just some ideas..

Yes I have a snack every afternoon and evening - my favorites are yoghurt, fresh fruit, hummus with vegetables and almonds (found some vanilla flavored ones!) Be careful though - I'm 4 months out and I couldn't have fruit, raw vegetables or nuts for the first 3 months. Early on yoghurt is good, mashed banana, sugar-free pudding, canned fruit pureed or mashed, apple sauce etc - don't know what stage you're at. My doc told me to have 5-6 small meals a day (3 "meals" and 2 or 3 "snacks") and to eat a small amount every 2-3 hours so I think Snacks are important.

I eat string cheese, yogurt (i have that for Breakfast and also for a snack when needed), cottage cheese, nuts, sugar free pudding, tbsp Peanut Butter, tbsp low fat cream cheese, laughing cow cheese...for some reason, cheese goes down easily for me. I have started to eat blueberries and have had watermelon in the past which I love. Apples I struggle with but I peel the skin off and then eat them. I cant seem to eat salads..it hurts a lot. I am 12 weeks out...3 months out. So I am still struggling with food. Oh I also have Protein shakes for my snack too. I also eat 5-6 small portions through out the date. Cant seem to eat denser meals.

I normally pick carbmasters (from krogers) yogurt or cottage cheese. i tend to eat 6 small meals thro the day - all snack sized, but these are what i consider something fast to snack on instead of "making" something.

I definitely have a snack in the morning, especially after a workout. I will eat yogurt, low fat string cheese, some deli meat... anything to keep my glucose levels up or I get really hungry!

My number one rule is every snack should have Protein. Seems from reading here everyone is doing that too. We are all so smart!

Being only 10 days post op, I'm still on liquids. I am so tired of sweet stuff already. I'm more of a salty spicy person. Been doing some research, and found a few savory Protein items. I've already ordered them, and let my kids be the testers. I ordered Tanka Bites, and Journey Bars. The Tanka bites made with buffalo come in several flavors. My oldest daughter loved the buffalo, with cranberry, orange and apple. It's kind of like beef Jerky, but they use ground buffalo so it was softer than beef jerky. The journey bars come in five flavors, sea salt, rosemary, curry coconut, pizza marinara, and sesame ginger. My youngest daughter, who is vegetarian loves these, and has asked me to send boxes to her at college.

Does your program permit a snack?

[msshellg 63]

Yrs Amy my program does. It allows 6 small meals per day. I was just wondering what types of Snacks others eat,

I've been following your post and it seems that your program is much more restrictive than mine. How are you doing with it?

[Racewalker48 41]

Since I eat 5 times per day (mini meals), I really don't snack regularly per se. If I wanted a snack, it would be a stick of low fat cheese (Sargento or Baby Bell). Sometimes I have 1/2 cup of frozen kefir. I figure if I'm going to snack on occasion, that it be a relatively low carb, higher Protein snack that is low calorie.

I'm not hungry which is good. I do wish I was on a 6 meal a day plan only becuase I think that would work with my schedule better. Eating every 5 hours has been a challenge.

Isn't it weird that our doctors all have different rules? : ) I'm not allowed to eat more than 1 cup at any meal/snack - usually 2-3 oz Protein plus some veggies or fruit. Even with 2 Snacks I'm only eating around 700 calories a day - it would be more like 500 calories if I didn't have "snacks" - that's way low. What and how much do you eat for your "meals"?
