Anybody have some good ideas for some low-fat/calorie/carb easy snacks/meals that are easy to take to work/school? They need to be really filling too...i'm always starving!

A Fiber One bar. They're really good tasting, and very filling too. (you've just gotta watch out for those "side effects" about 4 to 6 hours later!)

Almonds are good. A small handful (15-17) will satisfy you without wrecking your diet...sooooo good for you too!

Apples are fantastic!

baby carrots and celery sticks work for me. All the fibrous chewing makes the food last longer so I feel like I ate more than I really did. Add a bit of light dressing for dip if you like.

******This is an easy breakfast when you are in a hurry. I make them ahead of time, and put them in a zip lock bag to grab on my way out in the morning.
From The South Beach Diet Book Breakfast Quiche 300 grams (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed 3 eggs 100 grams (4 oz) grated reduced fat cheese 50 grams (2 oz) finely chopped green peppers (capsicum) optional 50 grams (2 oz) finely chopped onions 3 drops Tobasco sauce, optional Squeeze and drain off as much liquid from the thawed spinach as you can. Line 12 muffin tins with baking cases. Combine the eggs, cheese, onions, spinach and Tabasco, mixing well. Divide evenly among the muffin cases. Bake at 180 Celsius (350 F) for 20 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. These can be frozen and reheated or eat them cold. Other reduced fat cheeses, such as Parmesan, feta or mozzarella can be used.

Quaker weight control oatmeal. Cottage cheese with carrots, maybe a banana. Those are generally my breakfast options (often 2 of them). Sometimes I eat a whole wheat english muffin with some peanut butter.

Fiber one cereal (with water instead of milk) and blueberries. Sometimes strawberries. Sometimes a hard boiled egg. An easy open can of tuna. I can usually prepare and eat most anything with some forethought.

Nuts nuts nuts
High cal Filling Good protein Easy to transport Almonds (like an earlier post mentioned) are soooooo good for you. Sunflower seeds are pretty filling. "oilier" nuts like walnuts and cashews are pretty caloric. Do make sure you measure. I fill a bunch of small ziplocs with 2 tbsp nuts and have them everywhere: purse, glove compartment . . . |
