Any Snack Ideas

[Furry6feline]

I am so sick of coming home from school and being SO hungry. But when I eat I end up high at dinner..any food suggestions.

Other than the usual meat and cheese rollup

Can you take some insulin with an after school snack? I agree, meat and cheese rollups get boring.

trying to avoid shots...:cwds: :rolleyes:

Okay -- have you tried peanuts, mixed nuts, popcorn (2-3 carbs per cup), low carb yogurt, veggies/dip, sugar free jello. Atkins and South Beach make some low carb products like breakfast bars and yogurt that have very few carbs. I like the Atkins morning start bars. Hope that helps, I'm out of ideas right now.

I always have strawberry sugar-free jello because it's the only thing that I can find that has absolutly no carbs that I actually like to eat.

Curious to know what your insulin regime is? Can you work an afternoon snack into your day? How about doing some exercise to counteract the carbs?

My fav low carb snack is celery with cheese whiz in, however not totally carb free, but really low.

I used to fit in a 15 carb snack in but that made me go to the 300's

Do you take a long-term background insulin? You need to check with your doc or educator to make sure it won't send you low at night, but you might be able to up your background insulin to cover a 15 carb snack in the afternoon. That might mean you have to have one before bed too, though.

I take Levimer at night

I usually for a peanut butter cracker or 2, sugar free gummi bears and since I eat an early dinner (around 6pm) I dont have too much time to get hungry. what about a few pieces of fruit (like an apple slice) not that whole thing maybe 1/2 or a 1/4 then the apple will last you almost a week not sure if this will help you but this is what I use since i am not currently doing the carb count thing I am a little old school with the exchange system (been at that for too long!!!!)

Hey I ahave like the same problem. Maybe (i dunno) you just want to taste and chew somethin in your mouth. it sounds stupid, but thats how I was. Sunflower Seeds fix that though! Im addicted now!

[Future_Star]

[glucagirl]

[Future_Star]

I just don't know what to say again. I just don't know! My head inside feels like there's just nothing!
