I can't quite make out what that is, but I'm going to look it up.
It sounds really good for you though.

It's a type of seaweed, harvested and dried. Looks like purple kelp sort of? Not sure if it's harvested on the west coast or just the east coast. It's easily found in Atlantic Canada. As I mentioned though, it's an acquired taste. Very salty like you just got a mouthful of sea water - lol. It is VERY high in nutrients though. One of what some call a 'superfood'?

Thank you!
I did look it up on google.

I'm intrigued.
 
Been half cheating with Chobani Key Lime yogurt and other flavors, and some Halo Top protein ice cream. This stuff is very good and actually nutritious.

The yogurt has 17 gms sugar in a 5.3 oz. serving - twice as much as many other flavored yogurts.
The Halo Top ice cream has 18 gms sugar in a tiny half-cup serving - the same as regular ice cream.

The FDA allows food manufacturers to advertise it as "Healthy" much like "Cheerios" is allowed to say "Prevents heart disease by lowering cholesterol."
But the word "healthy" is open to interpretation.
There is really no way to make yogurt or ice cream taste good with any modifications.
 
I've been losing weight currently. I'll share more about that in the proper section.
I'm also kind of stuck with different ideas. Even just food in general for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I'm on a low carb diet but not every day. As for potatoes that is not something I gain weight from.
These are microwaved and helped me with my weight loss. I think about China and India and have rice throughout the week.
Nevertheless, I don't have many variations of food I eat. I'm kind of simple in my eating.
I only have lettuce, tomato and croutons for my salad. That's not very many vegetables but that's okay.
I'll probably have another vegetable either in morning or at night. I also take a daily vitamin and a calcium.
I'm sorry I didn't have any new diet snacks to share. At least we share the same issue.

My roommate is a good cook though and makes good things throughout the week. 🤭

I tend to eat the same things for my between meal snacks, and I'm getting really bored. I don't eat a lot of carbs, though I don't keep track of counts, just try to focus primarily on fruits and veggies, protein and dairy. I might have a piece of dave's killer bread toast in the morning, or occasionally have pasta for dinner, but don't consume a lot of crackers, breads, potatoes etc.

I'll have grapes or other fruit like apple or orange, a mozzarella cheese stick or 0 fat greek yogurt. I'll munch on a cup of sugar snap peas or mini peppers, occasionally some hummus and carrots, very occasionally a handful of crackers or popcorn.

Any ideas for something different? I don't mind cooking or prepping in advance so I've got stuff for the week, I'm just out of ideas as to what to make. I usually have 2-3 snacks a day, 1 between breakfast and lunch, and 1 or sometimes 2 between lunch and dinner, depending on how late we eat. I don't eat after dinner.

All suggestions welcomed!

Nonfat greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Hard boiled eggs or cooked egg whites.

It's really better for your body and digestion to eat like you do. Plain and simple, the same things. Your body builds digestive enzymes better that way.
