snacks while dieting

[vandu genes]

Hi guys, I was wondering what would be the healthiest snacks while dieting, you know when you are watching the game on sundays you want to snack on something and at the same time I'm trying to lose weight so thank you for your advice.

Nothing. But then I don't 'watch the game'.

this is actually a great question with football coming up!!

unfortunately a lot of snacks have a ton of calories.. nuts, seeds, fried foods, pizza, wings, etc etc all have a lot of calories and those are our favorite game time foods

pickles actually have little to no calories (as long as they aren't the sugar ones)
you can get some good quality corn chips with fresh made guamacole at home (google evolutionary.org guamacole for a recipe)
some salsa's have very little calories too. again you can make it at home

A "healthily made" hummus dip with vegetables is a great option! You can also grill some veggies on the BBQ before dipping, pretty delicious bro!

One of my favorite snacks is protein fruit dip with a banana or apple.

Plain Greek Yogurt
Chocolate Protein Powder
Peanut Butter or Peanut Butter Powder
and a dash of cinnamon
