I've recently found Blue Diamond "bold" flavored almonds to be an awesome replacement for chips. They come in flavors like Habanero BBQ (SUPER YUMMY), Salt 'n Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Wasabi, etc. They're 6g protein and 5g carbs (3g of which is fiber, so only 2g net carbs) per serving (I personally eat 2 servings at a time, and it helps me get a little boost of fiber).
You could also try pork rinds or baked cheese or pepperoni chips.

Really trying hard to get in the veggies and reduce fat a little ...
B: Veggie omelet with cheese, and coffee with protein RDT as creamer
Snack: nope!
L: Queso Fresco, heated and served with warm marinara
Snack: Soy nuts -- I was shopping in Whole Foods and bracing against eating impulsively, so I got this!
D: Chobani 2% yogurt
Pub Cheese
Snack: Greens with mushrooms and onions, pressure-cooked in 5 minutes.
Omigosh I love my pressure cooker!
87 gm protein and
26 net carbs
It's disturbing to me that this seems to be my "critical carb level" -- no losses in over a week!
I'm going to post a whiny "why am I stalling" post soon!

Interested in low-carb nutrition? Thinking of trying Atkins? Want to try high-fat and/or high-protein eating? Whether or not you have had (or are thinking about) WLS http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
It looks like I'm going to be a day late this week because I'm out of town (Vegas) with my DH. He's at training and I'm vacationing! The hotel charges $13.95/day for internet access so needless to say I have to seek out free wifi (at Panera this AM). BTW, it's sooo cold here...we're usually here when it's 120!
