Thanks in advance

Fruit

Low Sugar, Fat Free Flavored Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt
Splenda or Truvia
Cinnamon or Vanilla Extract

Celery and Cottage Cheese
Couple Stalks of Celery
1 Cup Low Fat / Fat Free Cottage Cheese

If your diet isn't fat restrictive Natty Peanut Butter goes well here too, can also swap out the celery for whole wheat crackers, other veggies, etc. if not Carb restrictive

Low Fat Chicken Salad (tuna works too as I wrote in the other thread)
Dice Chicken Breast
Light Miracle Whip
Chopped Celery and/or Onion

I like to add a little kirkland mango salsa to it, can eat it plain or scoop with multi-grain chips or crackers

if you aren't restricting fats too much you can make your own cinnamon or cocoa roasted almonds - just spray with a little pam and season with what you want then roast in the oven

Are boiled eggs good to eat??

Sure. I find I get sick of them really quickly tho - somethign about the texture of them grosses me out pretty quickly. Its still an egg tho.

Mmmm boiled eggs!!!

Fulrutt,

I can think of two foods that would be good snacks for cutting.

1. Tomatoes:
When I personally try to cut weight, I find it helps regulate my appetite, as well increasing mood. Tomatoes are very low in calories.

It turns out that tomatoes contain 2 naturally occurring brain chemicals called serotonin and endorphins. Both, especially serotonin, play a vital role in suppressing appetite by sending signals to the brain that make you feel satisfied.

2. Apples:
Apples tend to fill me up quicker and keep me full for longer.

Apples are also high in fiber, and contain a lot of other nutrients, so they are a good overall choice in a healthy diet.

Good luck,
MyBodyHealth

Thanks... I don't think I can eat tomatoes never had a taste to eat them.. Cooked down yes but cut and eat like a apple don't know.. Maybe have to try V8

Thanks guys for all the help

My favorite snack when cutting is a brown rice cake with fat free creme cheese. This is my treat for the day!!

oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, tsp of peanut butter, cinnamon, splenda put it in microwave for 2 mins then add protein powder and mix it in!! soo good!

sugar free jelly. Less than 10cal per 250ml

rice cakes smeared with something like nutella, sugar free jelly, or natty pb.

whatever I want as long as I account for it on the calories! Unless of course I'm I'm keto. Then it's a few pork rinds or a slim jim.

Boiled Eggs are any day better and healthier than the eggs cooked in any other manner.

I was looking for an idea for eggs, I was getting sick of my usual omelet/frittata. Suggested to me was deviled eggs, and I have been addicted ever since.

^ Winning entry.

To the OP - try just not snacking at all. Eat three or four meals a day, and don't snack.

Scrambled eggs cooked in the microwave are good, also poached eggs

nutella is sooo good!!! i really enjoy that too for a snack. also, you could try string cheese as a snack. it falls into the category with beef jerky. its a good protein snack

I eat about 6 hard boiled eggs a day. My favorite is to cut them in half, take out half the yolk on each side and pour Chalula sauce in it.

500g cottage cheese (no fat), 1 pack fudge pudding mix (fat+ sugar free), 2 scoops choc protein powder, 1.5 cup skim milk. Toss it all in a blender (add the pudding mix last) and it will make 4-8 servings depending on if you eat half cup or full cup at once.

1 cup is 1.5g FAT, 15g CHO, 28g PRO = 240 kcal.

It is a great treat.

almonds and cottage cheese!

egg whites and asparagus too

Homemade peanut butter, a spoonful or two...
