Hi

Thx
It depends on how many you want to eat. I typically eat two snacks daily.
Hi again
Ok if eat three snackes ber day can you tell me the allawed amount for each snack
How many spoones or how many piceas pls.
Thx
Many of the snacks listed have how much to eat. For example, if you eat a Lara bar, eat one a day. It’s difficult to tell someone else how much to eat
without being there. I do recommend reading the following articles, especially the first one.

Ubr totally right thanks for ur informations
Do you have a magazine or just articles (with recipes) on your website? The foods look wonderful!
Barbara, We don’t have a magazine but we do have recipe ebooks here https://skinnyms.com/ebooks/
Is the nutrition information available? I am on a stricr 40 carbs per day diet. By the way, it all looks very delicious!
Robyn, The snacks that have recipes have the carbs listed when you go to the recipe. Otherwise, you can google how many carbs berries, nuts, etc. have. 🙂
Very interesting. I am going to use some of.them.
Isabelle, we usually go by serving size, but we definitely do not want anyone to go hungry or starve themselves! If one serving is not enough to tide you over, have some more, or have a banana with your pistachios or some hummus with your carrots.
Thanks I feel encouraged today and I have a few ideas now for tomorrow one battle at a time?
I love the choices of snacks. It gets bored when you eat the same thing every day. Thanks for sharing.
Gloria, You’re so welcome! 🙂
This is one of the best clean eating snack list I have ran across! My family is usually stocked up on several of these examples, but there are many on here that I have to try now. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Heather,
Thank so much.
I’ll work to create a few more good lists that have helped me. If you have any suggestions please let me know. 🙂
I had weight loss surgery and need high protein low carbs. No white flour or sugar I find it difficult to make baked goods I would like a basic muffin recipe that I can add pumpkin, apples, bananas and any other fruit I need help me to stay on track I typically add protein powder to things I make to help increase protein counts I use a flavorless protein powder My family thought they were being nice and bought me a cake a bakery cake, guess they don’t get no sugar no white flour
Thank you for helping me keep off 110 pounds and continue to lose. You can’t imagine how grateful I am
Christine, You are amazing!!! Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on your progress. 🙂
I will try some of these snacks for 4th of July! Thanks
You’re welcome, Brenda! Enjoy!
Are prunes as a snack okay or no?
Hi Brenda! Prunes are a low-glycemic fruit that are also high in fiber and other nutrients. Enjoy in moderation, as with any other snack. Have a great day!
Gale! You spell your first name the same way I do! And… I’m 35lbs down from following a very strict diet that’s high protein, low carb, no white sugar. Small portions. I’ve got several lbs to lose yet & I’ve been looking for a good snack list that fits the bill. Since I’ve been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, gluten is strictly out but many of your recipes are gluten-free. YAY! Thanks for an amazing resource!
We’re so glad you found our site and recipes! Glad we could be a great resource for you!
Everything in moderation just because a snack is healthy doesn’t mean you should snack all day. A suggestion you can snack in between meals or after a workout make sure you refuel with a good protein snack. Don’t snack if you are bored or not hungry. A snack is good to eat if you want a little treat to hold you over until you
Can have a healthy meal. 😊
Great tips, Arlene!
These are awesome snacks!! Thank you for sharing!! 🙂
Thank you, Mary. 🙂
