A close friend of mine, a certified dietician specializing is diabetes and I were discussing food, in particular SNACKS that I can munch on at work that will hold me until supper.  I had a few ideas and between the two of us we came up with the following list:

1.  protein bars - can be expensive and not always the tastiest but can be thrown in a purse or pocket.  No containers or utensils required.  Check label for calories and amount of protein.

2. tofu - high in protein and iso-flavones.  I marinate mine - less fat than frying.

3. cheese - yes I know it can be high in fat but soft cheese is much low in saturated fat and helps us meet our daily calcium requirement.

4. legumes - high in protein high in fiber

5. nut butter - spread on fruit slices or celery. 

6. nut seeds - keep servings small and satisfies those of us that need something crunchy - other than celery :)

7.  yogurt - greek is higher in protein

8. tuna - packed in water is lower in calories add some herbs and voila

9.  eggs - for years eggs have had a bad rep but new studies have proven that incorrect and eggs are being endorsed as a healthy food.  hard boiled are easy to transport and eat. 

10.  milk - personally I don't drink milk and don't like to drink my meals/snacks but I was told that milk is high in protein and should consider adding a glass or two to my menus

So there you have it....the LIST.   I am sure many of you have similar or slightly different lists of go-to snacks.  Just thought I would share what we came up with.

I wouldn't worry about that Sandra, the beauty of FB is you can block posts from anyone in the group. 

I do that as I find some people constantly repost the same things daily/ weekly/ monthly. Its highly annoying but definitely easy to fix.

It's nothing to lose sleep over! 

No offense taken Sondra, please keep posting. Its a benefit to all.

Thanks Lorna

You are too, hope you have a wonderful holiday.   I'm going on a golfing trip to Palm Springs for 3 weeks so got to get my butt in gear!

Take care

Not to worry Sondra, there are lots of people who post interesting tidbits they find, not so much in the MB forum but on the bigger ones ( and some of those people be harsh - AND CRAZY)   Sometimes new people and people still in their honeymoon phase mistakenly think this is the magic fix, but it can get really really hard and information is always a good thing.  Sadly WLS does not fix our brains, where most of our obesity begins.  

Keep on with the interesting information.
