Crunchy snack ideas that are high protein low carb? Go!



Recommended Posts

I know some people make baked cheese crisps. I haven't done so but will probably try it someday.

I like Mr. cheese O's. A package is my post-swim snack.< /p>

Once you are cleared for all foods, try some raw vegetables for crunch. If you eat them with Protein (cheese, cottage cheese, tuna, Peanut Butter, etc.), you can get in your Protein.< /p>

I recently got a bag of little sweet peppers and have been eating them with everything.

Kay's Naturals and Quest both have protein chips that are pretty good.

I like roasted chickpeas. You can make them yourself and season them anyway you like. I also love steamed edamame pods. For a filling crunch, I like cucumbers with a splash of Sriracha and lime juice. Not exactly high Protein, but terrific if you like crunchy and spicy. All are naturally good for you.

For baked cheese crisps, grate some cheese and make little patties on a silpat sheet or nonstick cookie sheet. You can season anyway you like. Then bake at 350 until golden brown (about 5-7 mins). Once they cool they are crunchy.

I make microwave cheese crackers. I take one slice of DELUXE American cheese (it must be deluxe) and cut it into 16 tiny squares. I lay them on a sheet of parchment paper (NOT wax paper!) and space them out as much as humanly possible. I microwave for one minute then in 30 second intervals til done (they usually take 1:45 in my microwave but microwaves vary). Sixteen crackers for about 80 calories and zero carbs (or negligible carbs anyway-less than zero). I don't get it but they puff up like a cracker and magically turn from square cheese to circle crackers. It is low carb microwave magic LOL

Sliced and peeled cucumber with lemon is my most favorite crunchy snack.< /p>

Pre-Op I was addicted to peanuts and I have to really control myself now that I can eat solids again. I limit myself to 10 peanuts a day on the days I have them.

Genisoy is a co that makes soy crisps, they come is sea salt and ranch and are kind of like tiny thin rice cakes. I love them and dipped in salsa I they are just like tortilla chips. I'll put a smudge of Peanut Butter and jelly on them when I want something sweet. I highly recommend them.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
