New Tasty High Protein Snack???

[Jacquie Christie]

Hi Guys!
Can someone check out these new soy snacks Ive found? They taste yummy and would be a great high protein addition to my menu!

BBQ Soy Puffs
Calories 125
Protein 15g
Carbs 8g
Sugar 3.2g
Fat 3.5g

Do they look ok?? No nasty effects, so fingers crossed.

If they are ok, and anyone else wants them, I got them online from Avidlite and they are made by Dieti Snack.!

They would be fab as a cinema snack!

Please say they are ok!

wow they look high in protein but I am no expert not had my op yet. Sure someone will be along soon.

They would be fine as an occasional snack, just watch the carbs and calories, thats the same calories as a bag of crisps, but obviously a better choice given the protein.

Hi Shelbell,
Thanks for your reply!
I thought that it was just the sugar/fat/protein levels that we had to watch, and that carbs were not supposed to be avoided.
I really thought that a carb & protein snack was just about perfect.
I guess I need to rethink some things.
Bit disappointed, but I do appreciate your comments,
Thanks again

Personal choice. For optimum weight loss you're best on a high protein/low carb diet. Also, carbs lead to blood sugar dips and food cravings. Good high protein snacks are things like sliced ham/chicken, a bit of tuna or egg mayo, some low fat cheese, or some peanuts/baked chickpeas.

Thanks again!
Obviously, I've still got lots to learn! LOL!

I dunno will get back to you on that one!

good old google

Food, In The Main...: Oven-baked spiced chickpeas

You could play around with the spices and flavourings, but the method is pretty simple. Chickpeas are full of protein and very filling so a good crunchy snack.
