Low carb snacks and such...

Ok just as a side note I do realize that I didn't use the correct form of right in my last post...sorry I was sleepy...lol

What I am wantin are some good low carb snack ideas and low carb meal ideas. I'm trying very hard to be just meat, eggs and cheese. I did have a few almonds and an atkins bar as a snack bc I needed something sweet ( was so tempted to go back for another ...sigh). I'm gonna try to cut my protions and frequency down this week and get back on the exercise wagon. Oh and I plan on weighing in the morning I refused to last week, but anywhoo I need some ideas..Help me!!!!...PLEASE!!!

tequila lime chicken wings, from sams club are great for a quick snack, or even as your meat for a meal  toss in microwave or in a convection oven,,,

I still use my greek yogurt alot, chicken salad, devilled eggs, chiili, stuffed peppers are great, make your own low carb pizza on low carb tortilla or flatout wraps,( i can only eat 1/4 of a wrap)

Snacks:
I don't snack much because it's not on my plan but if I do:

2T of shredded parmesean cheese on a plate.  Microwave for 1 minute, let cool and it becomes like a cheese crisp.
String cheese
Babybel cheese
celery w/cream cheese
Protein Pudding from Vitamin Shoppe - Bodytech Dutch Chocolate - 25 grms protein - 4 carbs

Sweets:
If I'm going nuts for a sweet taste or dessert -  I take an ounce of cream cheese, let it get soft and add 1 packet splenda and perhaps a little unsweetened cocoa powder.

Protein Hot cocoa -
1 scoop Hydro Whey chocolate - 30 grams
4 oz almond breeze
4 oz water

Mix protein and water in blender ball bottle - shake until disolved
Heat almond breeze for 1 minute
Stir in protein mix
Micro for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until hot enough
Failure to stir every 30 seconds ends up in clumps of protein for me

Phoo-ie on correct form its just a message board.       

I like hormel pepperoni stix, 0 carb, travels well.  Same for babybel light cheese, also 0 carb and easy to carry.  

Single serving 100 cal pack, emerald cocoa roast almonds, 4 carbs and they come in other varieties too.  

A standby for me is pork skins.  I use them like crackers.  Mix a little cream cheese & smart balance light ( 2 / 1 ), add dried herbs/ seasonings to taste for a spread.   

Aww ... it's a message board and we're all friends.  There's no "correct form" and everything you post  will be just fine with us!


Small servings of cheese are great ... nuts, if you can tolerate wtihout splurging .... greek yogurt .... I have seen recipes for sugar-free chocolate mousse on Atkins site, and will see if I can dig it up!!!

Thanks everyone. I have seen more than a few times people being flamed for incorrect grammer so sad, but I love all the suggestions. I'm gonna have to try them out. Today was better I was able to keep things to a good minimum ( portion wise) let's hope I can say the same tomorrow. Thanks again!!!

 Jen, we're just so happy that you're here with us.  There's no flaming around here.  Anyone tries to flame and we'll run them off!

Thanks thats so sweet. Feels nice to belong to a group with good sense!!!

 Yeah babeeeee, we're a team around here!

Hi,  I think this is the right place to post this.  I found that slimfast came out with a new 4 pack low carb shake for a quick meal.  I bought some on sale so I haven't tried them yet.

Does anyone one know how I can rid of my 2nd widget?

I went into the widget page and it is only there once.

Thanks for any help.
