Re: Popcorn/pretzels/potato chips or ?????

Love popcorn but I have to eat it with dental floss right beside me.  I can't stand it stuck in my teeth for one minute.

 

I actually like all three that you mentioned, but I'll add one more to the selection.  Crackers!  I love snack crackers best such as Triscuts or Wheat Thins.

 

I'm on Weight Watchers, so everything is in small portions!

Now do not hate me everyone, but I have a terrible time with salt, I cannot even cook with salt (I leave the salt & pepper shaker out), my body retains fluid so bad even a tiny hint of salt I balloon up, so I have had to find alternative snacks to munch on, lately I have been loving baby carrots dipped in a little ranch dressing, I get the crunch that I crave and it takes a little longer to eat which I guess is a good thing.  I also crave fruit now more so than any sweet I use to turn to.

Re: Popcorn/pretzels/potato chips or ?????

My favorite is a flavored chip.  I'll eat about any chip except for plain.  I love popcorn but rarely have it except for the Smartfood White Cheddar popcorn.  Pretzels are OK....just a little too bland for me.  I love Cashews, Almonds and dry roasted peanuts.

Popcorn rare occasion

Don't like pretzels, have to be despirate, and I don't buy those.

Chips. Now you're barking up my tree!! Any kind, all kinds, sizes, varieties. (Can't eat just one). I have baked ones here now.

 

Added shakes from NeutriSystem that our grocery store sells now. For chocolate it helps and it fills me for quite awhile.

 

I look also for WW cakes, or fudgecicles for alternatives. Try not to get bogged down so it's easier to do the right choices.

 

Fruit for sure, not a vegetable snacker.  Have a huge salad every day.

@qualitygal I noticed that you like Nutrisystem shakes, I do too, but for variety I have found that I also like the brand "Premier" they have Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Banana Cream, & Caramel, they have 30 grams of protein and only 2 grams of sugar, and even my husband who does NOT eat or drink anything diet likes them, I have one with a slice of fruit for breakfast and it keeps me satisfied into early afternoon, they are available at Walmart.

Re: Popcorn/pretzels/potato chips or ?????

Potato chips are my complete downfall. I've just given them up again to try to lose some weight. I love plain ones, not flavored. I love pretzels too, Snyders snaps are my favorite. Not a big fan of popcorn.

 

I love potato sticks too, allow myself one small bag of those a week now instead of chips.

I have to admit I'm a potato chip addict---all kinds!  I have to limit myself to a small bag....

Re: Popcorn/pretzels/potato chips or ?????

The new healthier me accepts that there are foods I will probably never ever eat again.  Potato chips fall into that category, Nutella does too I am sad to say.  When I can add more foods into my diet, I think salf-free pretzels and salf-free air popped popcorn will be my snack foods.  I can make them tasty with spices.  Sunday, I popped some popcorn in a paper bag and seasoned it with a honey bbq hot sause that I have....loved it.

Re: Popcorn/pretzels/potato chips or ?????

If I'm snacking it's usually on fruit, nuts, maybe a few chocolate chips, yogurt or hummus. 

 

I don't like popcorn and I rarely eat potato chips. I love those peanut butter filled pretzels but I purposely don't buy them because I can't control myself. If I'm on a long road trip I like trail mix and dried fruit.
