Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004suggestions please - travel snax for maintenance?
I tried posting this before and didn't get any response, so here's one more shot. I'm on Atkins maintenance, and very active with a high CCLM. That means I need to eat a pretty fair amount of carbs, including snacks, but obviously they can't be junk food! They need to be good carbs - whole grains, legumes, etc. So far all I can come up with is fruit, BK/Wendy's chili, and popcorn. Anyone have any thoughts?

Haven't been able to even look at one > since! hee! it's nice to know i've made a difference. ;) Brenda, i used to work at 7-11. one day i picked up one of the "beef stick" containers off the counter and started reading the ingredients ... and i haven't eaten ANY of those kinds of products since. i'm not kidding you, they do have hearts and snouts and all kinds of stuff in them that just squicked the holy hell out of me. not to mention the fact that they always left a horrid coating of grease in my mouth - no thank you. i'll stick to straight-up beef jerky if i need that kind of snack.

You could make it with your favorite nuts, dried fruits, rolled oats, unsweetened coconut, sunflower seeds, etc. There are a couple of granola recipes in Dana Carpender's book with about 15 net carbs per 1/2 cup.

I'd think a better way of doing this would be to browse the aisles of your market for stuff that looks appealing and then look up the carb counts. Martha  SignatureBegin where you are - but don't end there. Sweet potatoes, winter squash, bananas, apples, carrots.

Nuts are always a handy, healthy addition to your day on maintenance, especially almonds. Stuffed celery with chicken or tuna salad or natural peanut butter, baby carrots, radishes, HB egg, ham and cheese rollups, add cream cheese for a change or a dill pickle rollup. Air popped popcorn is a good snack, travels well in a ziplock bag. |
