We have easy access to carbs. I mean who eats one or two potato chips or 1/2 slice of bread? I think that sense carbs are so easlily accessable that is what we go for. Also our bodies are accustomed to burning carbs as fuel. It is easier to burn carbs. Fat burning takes alot more work.

I made a terrible mistake of running quite low on protein snacks and that goofed me up. I kept getting one or two corn chips and I nibbled on cashews. DH did buy some beef jerky but by the time I found it, it was too late. My favorite snack is cottage cheese, raw almonds ( I prefer the flavor of raw almonds ) and strawberries.
