Munchies...

[rebelwithkidz]

Every once in awhile I get the munchies or at least what I call the munchies, meaning its not a meal or snack time but in between and I am feeling hungry for something. These are the times that I'm most likely to cheat so I was wondering what are some Atkins friendly things I can munch on when I get those cravings, that will also help curb them?

Re: Munchies...

cold cuts.....roll up ham and provolone and/or roast beef and swiss, and you can even spread a little mayo and or mustard. for snacking....yeah i think it can be a little tough too....but how about vegetables as well. if you are to that rung of the diet.....almonds, they are awesome.

Thanks! I can have nuts but try not to do them to often cause I tend to eat too many! I love nuts!

Anyway! If you overeat on nuts, portion them out ahead of time. Get little containers and measure them out and know when you eat that container you are done.

Lately, I like boiled eggs. Used to be, it was pork rinds. But boiled eggs are good to me because they already have the perfect ratio.

Buffalo Wings for me !

Lately that's been my thing I can't seem to get enough of them, today it's boiled eggs, also TUNA is a life saver with real mayo it can curb my appetite for a long time!

Re: Munchies...

I take left-over meats from the dinner before and cut into bite-sized pieces along with a few bits of cheese and keep them in baggies in the frig door. When the munchies hit, I grab a bag and have my snack. If I don't have left-over meat...I use celery, green pepper, radish, cucumber or whatever veggies I have. I always make this every day so that if I get tempted, I already have something ready for me. If I don't use it during the day...I use the veggies in my salad.

Re: Munchies...

Thanks for all the great ideas. I like the idea of having things ready ahead of time in little baggies, no prowling through the frig or cabinets to find something.

Re: Munchies...

This was a great thread! Some great ideas!

Before I restarted Atkins this past weekend, I would have a bowl of cereal before bed (part of why I'm back!). I've been trying to find something induction-friendly to have when I have a taste for something late at night.

Re: Munchies...

This sounds gross, but it's not that bad...

regular pork rinds and cinnamon and melted butter. shake them up in a big ziploc and eat that

regular pork rinds with cinnamon and some cream. let that sit and it tastes like cinnamon toast crunch. odd, but true

I HATE pork rinds regularly, but both of these ways I find them tolerable

I like to make the ham, cream cheese, pickle roll ups and slice them like sushi and keep them in the fridge. I also like to have cucumbers and blue cheese, tuna with cucumbers. cucumbers with some lemon or lime....I like cucumbers

deviled eggs
