lol I understand. I can sit and eat spoonfuls of peanut butter and hot fudge all day.

A crappy snack is not healthy.

Something like fruit or nuts isn't bad.

Small nibbles like that will make it less likely that you overeat at the next meal because you are so hungry.

Exactly.

When I have a snack (as when I eat an entire meal), I try to make it as whole and unprocessed as possible. I don't eat cereal (the phytates in unfermented or unsprouted grains aren't very good for you), dried fruit (too much concentrated sugar - fresh fruit is better) and I almost never drink juice (again, too much concentrated sugar).

I am not a fat-phobe and I do have hypoglycemia, in addition to being sensitive to phytic acid. So I tend to have nuts, peanut butter on sprouted grain toast, veggies with smoked salmon or smoked trout spread, or a few cubes of cheese. Whole milk yogurt with berries or a glass of whole milk work pretty well for me, too.

Ohhhh, that explains it!

^^^ Ick, I HATE Snapple. It tastes like nothing but sugar.

Once or twice a year I have to have a room temperature Snapple Grapeade, but that's it.

It's funny you should say that, because I think the Grapeade was the flavor of Snapple that I tried. I call Snapple "Crapple".

Don't like Gatorade either.
