Snacking

[Martin Canty]

Pork scratchings grounded up also makes a good low carb coating for chicken.

Use it all the time, in fact tonight's dinner will be "breaded" country ribs fried in our air fryer & sautéed vegetables

Brilliant stuff DeusXM, thats reassuring and gives me loads of options, thanks. While Mrs Ianbilly is eating here Maltesers at the Cinema on Saturday i will be indulging in seeds or Babybels or Kabanos!!

Seeds are good. I particularly like toasted linseeds but they're a bit difficult to eat without leaving a trail! Do yourself a favour and get the shelled sunflower seeds or you'll spend all day fiddling.

Other good things are pork crunch (those pork scratchings that are a bit like Quavers), nuts, biltong, little cheeses etc. I quite like those kabanosy too that you can pick up in the Polish bit of the fridge in the supermarket.

Incidentally, does anyone know if you can get shelled pistachios? I LOVE pistachios but they're a bit too fiddly for me to graze on at work and you end up with a big pile of shells.

Well DeusXM, I'd eat biltong till the cows come home! Indulged myself recently whilst on hols in SA. We have seen shelled pistachios in LIDL, quite pricy though. Glad to see other folk have queries on snacks. I have tried very hard to stay away from anything snacky, despite my best efforts only managed to lose 1lb last week eating no carbs. Succumbed to a thin slice of sponge cake today and my blood sugar is 7. I do love seeds so will now buy myself a few packs of sunflower seeds to nibble on. Thanks for tips. Also has fajitas on Saturday, a treat for me.

I try not to snack, but if I must I try to keep it healthy and low carb. A few nuts or seeds if I'm out, I love almonds and walnuts. Carrot sticks with hummus or a few berries if I'm in.
