Pretzels are a pretty good option for salty and crunchy.
For a salty crunchy snack, I like Pirate's Booty. But I have to portion it out or I will eat the whole bag in one sitting.
have you had their Tings snack?
Yes but I like the texture of the Pirate's Booty better, it has random extra-crunchy bits in some pieces. Also the name, as redkitty pointed out.
Pretzels have little or no nutrition and have a high glycemic load, so they are actually a terrible option. Any kind of nuts are a much better choice.
3. What do you eat when you want something salty and crunchy? I'm guessing nuts are the obvious choice here - but is there anything else?
Pork cracklings! Not seriously, I just wanted to say that out loud
oooh! Salty, crunchy healthy snack, seaweed!!! http://www.seasnax.com/ It is VERY addictive.
No joke, I eat chicharrones some times. There is a brand called "pork clouds". They are actually relatively low in calories, plus they have protein. 70 calories, 8 g protein per serving. They are also good to grind/crush and use to "bread" chicken before baking.
Probably stupid question, but are these just regular kernels you would buy for an air popper?
I like Oikos by Dannon. Not really a fan of Fage. For the salty something, I love the Nut thin crackers by Diamond. Otherwise, I just do fritos or tortilla chips and put some in a small bowl. Portion control works better for me than denial.I would rather have one great beer than 2 or more light beers. Now,, you could always go for a shandy, which would be 1/2 beer and 1/2 diet sprite... Just a thought.
Regarding the bolded, me too. I also eat frequently (every few hours).My mom had some Oikos yogurt in her fridge when I visited in July. Holy god, I had to spit out the first spoonful. I don't know what it was about the taste that I found so offensive, but I'm shuddering just thinking about it.
Was the Oikos flavored? I like Oikos but can't stand the Yoplait Greek. Blech.
