Favorite Snacks!
Hey, everyone! We're gonna get into it today: What are your favorite snacks? I would love to hear what kind of foods you enjoy on a daily basis. And this doesn't have to be the "heathiest" stuff. Part of being happy and healthy can include MODERATE consumption of things that we want but don't necessarily need. If it IS a healthy snack, you could give someone a new idea to help with their cravings! High calorie snacks for those looking to gain weight, low calorie snacks that help keep you in a caloric deficit to lose weight, and anything in between! I'll give a few of my favorites for different goals: 1. For fewer calories, I love to snack on beef jerky. Not the cheapest, but a great way to get lots of protein in without a crazy amount of sugar (depending on the kind you get: check the label for added sugars) and I know I have to drink extra water to keep up with the sodium intake, but that actually makes me feel great! 2. For gaining weight, specifically muscle gain, I love getting in some whole milk Greek Yogurt with as much fruit and granola as I can muster. It's gonna be more calorie dense and have more natural sugar, which can boost the calories I take in. There's good protein and some healthy fat in the Greek yogurt as well, and that fat can help with the sugar intake from the fruit from spiking my blood sugar/glucose levels as much. (The fiber from the whole fruit does that too, but that's a topic for another time..) 3. For personal enjoyment, I thoroughly enjoy Dot's pretzels. I used to think they tasted weird but nowadays getting a handful of those in just hits the spot sometimes... There are plenty others, but learning how to snack well was a game-changer for me! And if you're curious whether or not your snack is beneficial or just for enjoyment, don't hesitate to ask! Reply in this thread or DM me, and I'll help give you some information from what I know, or do some research to get the answer for you!

@Philip Snyder I'm open to a lot. Just no weird stuff like raisins, oatmeal, grapes, or canned tuna.
