I try to eat Proteins when hungry, i tend to snack on feta cheese a small piece, or the triangle portion of the laughing cow packeted cheese ---it comes in triangle portions and is real creamy. Is the laughing cow cheese okay? calorie wise it is 42 cals per portion?

I also tend to eat for Protein 30 to 40 gram portions of nuts - is this okay?

From calorie standpoint those are decent choices. It's amazing how few almonds it takes to satisfy.

And while I used to favor such cheese as Brie at a giga-calorie per serving, my current favorite is the hard dry rind of parmesan from low fat sources.

It provides chewing and a decent bulkiness to satisfy the pouch and sensations of a pleasant 'fullness' without too many unnecessary calories.

There are a jillion cheeses out there, and I intend to find some new favorites.

A local producer makes absolutely wonderful goat cheese in a half-dozen varieties. She is a licensed dairy goat facility. While I love the flavor, every time I try it I get bowel distress for days.

I like feta-stuffed greek olives for a little snack. Not bad on calories either! I prefer the jalapeno-stuff ones though, and chopped up in tuna is wonderful.

Mmmm, cheese.

They have laughing cow lite cheese too. I snack on those too.

They have laughing cow lite cheese too. I snack on those too.

Mmm, I want to go buy some now. :thumbup:

LOL. I will have to in the next couple of days

Mmmmmmm cheese!!!!

I like cheese.

Will ask my store if they can get the light laghing cow cheese in, and forgot about parmesan -- use to always eat that, next time go to store will get a piece as is nice and strong tasty and can chew and chew on it.

Try Baby Belle light cheese. It is just the right size for a little protein rich snack. It is 50 calories and delish. Laughing cow makes this too.

I asked my store to get in some light laughing cow cheese, and some baby belle. Had some parmesan -- mmh yum could not find one that said low fat however.

Laughing Cow Light also comes in Garlic & Herb and French Onion.

35 calories per wedge. Yummy!!

I eat it almost daily .... on a few crackers or an apple.

PS. Nuts are a great source of protein and "good" fats - just watch the calories.
