It is an icecream sandwich called silhouettes, by SkinnyCow. Each one has 130 calories, 5g protein and 2g fat, 23 carbs though, but it is still better than a cookie or piece of pie. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Total on those comes to... 20 chips and 4 tbsp bean dip 190 calories 7 proteins 34 carbos and 3 fats azredhead... is that an ok snack? Or are there too many carbs in it? Can you weight it out later with more proteins in something than carbs or what? I'm trying to figure out some snackage myself. hehe! ;)

For instance, 12 jumbo shrimp are 14 gr. of protein, 65 calories. Have a salad or some veggies with it if you like. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

I have that problem with chips too. Sometimes I think I will go crazy if I don't have a handful. Thank goodness there are some healthier choices now. I brek down and have some WOW chips once in a while. Not the greatest, but crunchy. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Sidney Posts: 18 Joined: 2002/05/20	2003/11/07, 12:53 PM I was just about to post an inquiry regarding snacks as I am feeling quite hungry now that the weather is turning cold. Can anyone tell me what snacks to eat prior to a workout. I find around 3pm (nothing really surprising)v that I am hungry. At the moment I'm working out after 5pm, and I find if I haven't eaten, I tend to feel tired during my workout. Many thanks, Sidney
