Quick, Tasty Healthy Snack's? If you eat 'em what are they, and how?
I've been trying to eat healthy here lately, the only thing healthy I have eaten thus far is Celery with Peanut Butter on it, but that's not really that healthy. I'm looking for idea's on some quick and easy snack foods, some things that might not take long at all to fix but are good and tasty. I don't mean throw a microwave dinner in the m'wave and hit start, I mean something from the old school world that is, or where you actually handle the food and throw something on it. Any healthy thoughts on quick snack foods? I know I could bing or google this, but a real person doesn't reply with their serious thoughts on the subject, you just get a story, with no reply..... Any idea's? Everything I seem to try and think of for quick snacks contains grease or some other form of toxin. I want SNACKS!!! NOW!!! And I want them to be healthy to eat, and don't tell me my only choice is oatmeal, I"ll just add some butter and sugar to it and go wicked on the unhealthy eating habits!  In all honesty : " What are some tasty quick healthy snacks that you might know of, my diet has changed and I'm getting sick of the no salt no taste thing"??????

I cannot eat an apple without Salt, that's my only problem, although that does bring to mind peaches, or perhaps a grapefruit for breakfast. Hmmm, fruits, that's good idea. I guess I need to look at the entire family of fruits and veggies, I've been being one dimensional, and somewhat distorted with my train of thought you might say. Cereal's are no good for me because I can't tolerate Milk, strange though because cheese doesn't bother me one bit, but if I drink a cup or glass of milk I feel sick. Thanks for the reply and idea, that's a good thought, it's a tricky thing trying to eat healthy. It always makes me laugh and no offense meant to anyone, but it makes me laugh to see an overweight person drinking a diet coke and eating a 500 calorie candy bar, that's just plain insane. Thanks, Bobby

I am rather partial to bananas myself, Fruit is the obvious choice and keeping a well stocked fruit bowl with some variety is a good idea. The other thing is moderation do you really need to cut things out 100% ?. If you like cheese avoid edam and cheddar as you will want a large portion and have something like Danish Blue or Stilton where a small portion give you a lot of taste. Buy a bread maker and have fresh baked whole meal bread with a fraction of the sugar and salt in a supermarket loaf (50% Wholemeal 50% whole grain rye is nice). Its tastier too so you won't need to smother it large quantities of butter etc.

Well, I was on the weight loss kick for a year. The doctor said something about congestive heart failure and I had to lose weight, but I wasn't payin' attention, I dunno' for sure what he said. All they want is your damn money anyways. hehe I lost 100 + in 9 months so I have a lot of tips for you. :) The biggest thing I did was walk 3.5 miles a day and forced myself to drink more water than any one human should have to endure.
Chicken is good for you if you don't cook it in the skin. Get some boneless breasts, cook them really good, cut them up in to little squares, sprinkle some Tabasco sauce in a zip lock baggie, throw the chicken in and shake it around really good then snack on it. You're getting good meat and something spicy to fill you up. Spicy foods tend to fill you up faster. Stay away from turkey, it's loaded with cholesterol.
Pickles are good too. Even those huge ones only have a few calories, unless you get sweet pickles. Those are a deal breaker.
Unsalted pretzels aren't that bad for you either, especially when dipped in mustard. Mustard has very little calories.
Salsa is good for you. A whole jar has only 200 calories. Or, you could get fresh tomato's and make your own salsa and use less salt. I used to do that. Year before last I had so many tomato's I couldn't eat them fast enough, last year, I had 4 tomato's out of 8 plants! DOH! This last year was rough on gardens. You can get unsalted chips that are baked so you don't get all that saturated fat that's oh so good, or just eat the salsa by itself, again the hotter the better.
Carrots. Get fresh ones, they are really good and you can eat a bushel off them and they won't hurt you.
Grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon. Cantaloupe with whip cream is really good, and whip cream isn't that bad for you if you get the light stuff. I think 10 calories a serving iirc.
I just heard on the radio today that diet soda is now linked to heart disease. Thanks for ruining that one for us eh? Water sucks.
Those are the things I would snack on when I couldn't make it to dinner time. Just try to do some music to get it off your mind. :) Drink lots of coffee, zero calories if you drink it black.
The biggest thing you need to overcome is that thing in your head saying, "DAMN IT! WHY DO I HAVE TO EAT THIS!! I HATE IT! WHY ME? WHY!? THIS IS YOUR FAULT NOT MINE!!!! IT'S NOT FAIR DAMN IT! AHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The quicker you quell that demon, the more better off you'll be. Just don't let him come back in, things get really ugly then and it's harder to get rid of him once you let him back in. :((
Good luck!

Thanks and your right on with what your saying. It's a serious pain in the Arse! So to speak. I miss the day's of salt on EVERYTHING and chocolate is a distant memory, that is if I wanna live. No BS about that. Sorry for the drama, but if it helps someone else then I don't care if they think I'm a A-hole or not. Man, what really bothers me is I was watching this show about eating Salmon. They were saying after studying people eating salmon that eating "WILD CAUGHT SALMON" that it was better for you than store purchased. One of the reason's THEY SAID was because they said the farms for these fish use a coloring to make them pink to look better. Oh Well that's what the show said anyway, and it makes sense when you think about it. I can guarantee you and everyone this much, regardless of however acid rain or whatever falls from the clouds this season, I'm having me one serious heck of a garden! Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it all in mind, On a lighter note so to speak, my neighbors wife walked out showing the neighborhood a couple of Mellons, I thought about saying "Hey baby, Blah blah,Blah and doing the motor boat thing" but then I realized I need more than just some mellons, and it just ain't gonna happen. Oh Well. I'm going to crunch on some nice salt free wheat crackers, healthy or not, at least they don't make my arse itch! Bobby

What is it that you call healthy snacks? Are you trying to avoid something particular - salt, sugar, fat. Should the snack also give you energy for days activities or only make your jaws move? We do need many things, like fat, but it's the amounts and relation to physical exercise that is the problem. Put some ketchup on a dark rye bread, add canned tuna, spiced or plain, and some cheese slices. One minute in micro. That is healthy and also has energy enough to keep you going. Cottage cheese with pickled cucumber. If you like cereals but don't tolerate milk, eat the cereals with blueberry, rasberry or other soup that also over there are most likely available in bricks. Toast kik-peas with onion in a frying pan in a small amunt of olive oil. That's surprisingly tasty, healthy and gives you energy, too. About those salmons: Yes. The farmed ones are cloned, vaccinated etc. The colour to the meat comes from the very same chemicals as in the wild, but they don't have the shrimp around it. Who has the money to eat wild salmon nowadays? Still in the 1800's in Finland when a farm hand made the contract for the next year he/she could add a paragraph that the employer mustn't offer salmon meal more than, say, once a week. Otherwise it could happen they had to eat salmon seven days a week. Did you know they transport the farmed fish (not all, of course) by air from Norway (maybe from elsewhere as well) to China just to be cut and packed, cause it's cheaper? That's what I call an environmental crime.

fresh fruits and vegatables. those are the best healthy snacks. bobby - after your heart attack the doctor should have told you to see a nutritionist for help with your diet. if he/she didn't then you should anyway. I don't know what kind of insurance you have or if it would cover it, but you might need to contact your physician and get him/her to refer you to a nutritionist. and you should follow his/her advice!

^^^^^ Wise words from the Beag there. I'm rather partial to raw carrots & hummus with coriander. I cannot imagine, however, putting salt on an apple.

It's a misconception that there are Antelope in North America. There are no native Antelope, the species is Pronghorn here. You see the cute little bugger's all over the highway once you hit the western side of Nebraska on 35.
Just sayin'. :)

I'm still searching for the perfect, healthy snack that I'd actually like to eat (are yogurt raisans good for you??).
I am very grateful to V8 for coming out with their new Fusion drinks that are 50% vegetables hidden behind 50% fruit juice. Now, whenever I might have gone for pure fruit juice or, worse, a can of soda, I just pour a glass of V8 Fusion.
Just as RockingChair craves salt on everything, I have to avoid sugar. Some scientists say there are five different taste buds on your tongue, sweet, salty, sour, bitter and something called glutimate - whatever that is - but people tend to crave one of the group more than the others with sweet and salty being the two most popular.

What good is a salad if you pour tons of fat sauce on it. Not to mention the greasy crackers and such.
I've heard Italian dressing is good "But only if you buy this particular brand", the problem I have with that is the ingredients are the same and 2 dollars cheaper for the off brand.
What a sad world we live in where marketing is controlling most everything, we are treated like cattle everyday and the things the media pushes the most in our faces is MEDIA because they know that's the only way they can get their claws into us all. Same with this internet, most of this crap we have all bought we don't need at all, it's not a luxury when you think about it and how you use what you buy.
I guess I kinda changed the subject, but it does apply to food.
They've done test on this advertising crap, and what I mean by that is if you see a commercial or a thought or something like that telling you over and over so many times sooner or later when the subject applies to you you'll think "There the best, I'd better buy that because I've heard of them". Or so it seems.
I'm turning my TV off as of now, I no longer listen to the radio at all. Heck I pay 120 dollars for TV service and 40 minutes most of the time of a show I'm watching that is and hour long is most of the time all commercials not to mention fill times where Charter my service provider is boasting about free speed improvements when my internet service has slowed down, and the rest of the hour long show ends up being a wait to see the conclusion next week. SO I'm done with TV as of now with the exception of movies I have purchased.
Somebody told me a long time ago that sometimes what you are really wanting to eat is because your body is lacking something, I'm sure some of you jokesters are going to have some fun with that comment, but what I am talking about is sometimes that might be true when your young, not so when you get older.
Oh well, those are a few of my crazy thoughts on the subject,
Bobby

Do you swallow the gum though? That might be unhealthy?

I found good and healthy foods always at my home. Vegetables and fruits are healthy. I ate Chicken Rice and Italian Kebab with planned nan. I found that it was really healthy and good for our health Not more oily and ****y and its taste are amazing.
****y huh? I'm surprised that you didn't recommend SPAM. That would seem more appropriate.

Re:Quick, Tasty Healthy Snack's? If you eat 'em what are they, and how?

When I was a kid, my Grandmother kept "snacks" available. She had this "candy" that was made with Soylent Green and some kind of sugar/syrup shell. If I wanted a snack, she'd break off a chunk of this stuff. As it approached my mouth, I could feel my taste buds attempt to burrow down under the surface of my tongue. Unfortunately, they couldn't run far enough.
To say that it tasted bad is a gross understatement. Bad doesn't begin to describe it. The English language does not have words to convey the nature of the flavour. Horrific, Disgusting, Putrescent, and Vomitous don't even scratch the surface. It was the sort of taste that makes you wish you had eaten your own head instead. It made the prospect of diving face first into a pig sty sound yummy. 2 week old, spoiled Haggis? That would be a wonderful improvement.
After a couple of bites, I regretted that I had ever learned to eat solid food. After a couple more, my stomach attempted to flee from my body. I couldn't blame it. I only ate another three bites. At that point, I could hear colors and see the number 19. I didn't have an out of the body experience, but I wished that I had. I don't think I would have gone back.
This may not be the best way to attempt to curb snacking...

That would have been a Crime Against Becan. I believe the Geneva Convention contained something about that.
