The peanut butter (protein) slows the rise and fall of blood sugar. The other one was 100 cal yogurt and 1/4 cup bran nuggets (I forget what those little hard things are called). Again this prevents spikes and drops of blood sugar. There were a lot more but it was my turn to check out so I put the mag back. (Stupid-I should have bought it!) Can't remember which mag.
So my question: what other combos would be healthy? Peach, if you see this I know you'll have some good ideas. I know there were some with veggies & ??
Thanks again guys for the help. Hope everyone is eating well and if not losing at least feeling great!
I don't get updates anymore and I haven't been on in a few days..........sorry JanRN that is has taken me so long to see this.
I have commented in the past to curb hunger drink water with dash of cinnamon or cloves.
You should eat every 2 - 3 hours don't wait any longer then 3 this will keep your blood sugar even all day...........no mood swings unless of course you are PMSing.
These are some snacks......
1 tbsp Hummus- the protein...............2 triscuits- the carb
6 oz no fat PLAIN Yogurt -protein...............1 fruit-the carb
6oz Milk-protein..................1/2 c PLAIN rice cereal (60 cal per serving nothing with sugar)-the carb
1 oz cheddar cheese-protein(melted)............1/2 oz corn chips- the carb
What I like to snack on is 1 c veggie soup with beans, it is packed with vitiams and fills you up.
Just some more of my useless information that someone might want to know............You can snack on RAW veggies all day but once they are cooked their natural sugar is released and they then become a carb.
