PS you need to check out around this forum cause there's some good recipes for snaks and ideas for foods eating the same thing gets boring so make it exciting and change things. I even add green beans to my eggs or tomato and little bit of onion is good with scrambled eggs. Convenient food is what made us like we are it's too darn easy to snak on high carb foods so we the LCers have to get alittle bit more creative but have it ready and waiting if we need it...I do the little itty bitty slim jims too at times..I wouldn't suggest alot of those they do have nitrates and carbs oh yeah I forgot a good snak I do I take really thin slices of beef brown the meat and put cheese in the middle and roll them up like miny tacos very good snak for me!!
