Re: Snack Ideas? Please help

[Guest guest]

For snacks, I will make some corn tortilla chips and homemade salsa (lots of

good recipes online) with a lot of black beans in them for higher protein.

I also tend to eat Hebrew National Hot dogs, kefired milk, and yogurt (plain

adding cinnamon and stevia) a LOT.

Snack Ideas? Please help

I have to carry food around with me (for my hypoglycemia) but am

having a hard time finding something that really works. I need it to

be a quality protein, but would also like low fat/low carb.

Any ides?

Nuts? Seeds? Some type of jerky?

I tried a beef jerky, but it was too salty. The so-called " protein

bars " have so much other junk in them, I don't think they are a

healthy Candida option.

I'm really struggling to find something. Please help.

Thanks

How about raw almonds? I realize they aren't " low in fat " , but they're good

for you. I remove the skins (apparently there's something in the skin that

isn't the best) - and sometimes I toast them (again, better raw but oh how

wonderful they taste toasted!!)

good luck

I think the skin has enzyme inhibitors, or is antimicrobial (or both).

I soak mine in water overnight, then the skin comes off very easily.

I eat 10 everymorning. More than that can be too hard to digest.

And, these are good fats, not to worry about that.

This is hardest thing I have run into. This is why so many people

are not healthy, is we don't sit down to eat at home as much or are

on the run so much. I also have struggled with this issue. I use a

product called Revival soy bar because it helps my hormones but it

has sugar in it and many people feel eating soy isn't so hot but it

satisfies my appetite and is better than other choices I have

sometimes and same as you, I get low blood sugar and can *not* go

hungry without getting a migraine or feeling really run down.

I was doing organic trail mix for awhile but got sick of it and maybe

got actually 'sick' of it, eating alot of it may not be good, not

always clean, sometimes nuts get moldy, etc.

The Food Safety section of the government says that a hard boiled egg

is ok up to 2 hours outside the refrigerator before any problems might

occur. You could boil, salt, cut and wrap a boiled egg for good

protein. Just don't add mayo. Take a piece of high protein bread, some

carrot sticks and you have lunch. Or, if you're on the road a lot

during the day, take a little ice chest to keep eggs, chicken or turkey

in. Also, some corporation buildings have a refrigerator in the

employee break room where you could refrigerate high protein snacks.
