    Some dark chocolate is a good snack with a cup of tea. I have some every evening with my cuppa and some almonds.

    Also almonds and prunes go great together.

    Lidl's finest linessa low fat cottage cheese! Eat it like a yoghurt, 200g has 154 calories - 22g protein, 6 carbs & 4.8g fat. 50 something cent for one, nice and filling. My fridge is wedged with them, take it after meals if I'm still hungry. Highly recommended.

    I snack on cocoa nibs. They are bitter a hard to eat but for some reason I like them and you can only eat them slowly so it stops me snacking on crap. V good for you too

    Why low fat? Great snack but there is no valid reason to eat low fat dairy. Low fat has only been around since the 60s / 70s. Eat full fat.

    Do you just copy and paste your posts between all threads?

    It's a low calorie snack, high in protein and satiation that's why. Low fat has been around far longer than high fat. Plants were on the Earth before fatty animals. Or do you believe the Earth is 6,000 years old because some people say it, we're being lied to, science is 'wrong' etc....?

    Have to keep people right.
    You've got to be the most pedantic person on boards or else you're a bit thick when it comes to reading posts!

    Low fat food products only exist since the 60s- just a little later than people started counting calories. What happened? People got fatter.

    any chance of a bit evidence? independent studies or the like? meta analysis? anything?

    no offence but you play golf. u cant really give advice to people who actually xo stuff that's physically strenuous. unless of course u backd up your claims with evidence, which u dont, u just give links to people with financial interests in maintaining the high fat cult.

    It's good, as is Tesco Healthy Choice Natural Cottage Cheese, 100g has 11g protein, 5g carbs & 1.3g fat. There is also a Low Fat variant in the Healthy Choice range (not much different nutritionally but it has a few of the usual low fat adulterations so I avoid it). Any of them are improved by chopping some good fresh herbs, mint being a favourite. As an occasional treat adding a finely chopped small quantity of a really good strawberry or a couple of cherries or quarter/half a ripe kiwi/peach/plum makes a world of difference.

    No financial interest in low fat food products that fill the aisles in supermarkets across the world?

    No golf today. (just sprints, skipping, pull ups, dips, weights (shoulder press, squats & lunges)!

    It's only your advice that counts on here- right?

    i love carrots as a snack, thats my fave, but just a plain medium or large sized carrot taken the skin of and then you can "chew on that for a while :d)) and it is super healthy.. sometimes a handful of almonds, walnuts, Brazilian nuts or cashews, but one or two of each not more..
    prunes are also great as someone mentioned, like 3 of them, they are also very healthy for digestion..
    rarely eat few hours before sleep but if i "have to" i'd give myself yoghurt (i use full fat and no sugar) with some - eg 30gr of cereals (also with no sugar) and it suits me : )... (rarely id have a boiled egg then, or a banana..
    btw since i have experimented for a year with low fat diet i came to realization that healthy fat is actually very important and good for us, but the sugar is much worse so am reducing sugar wherever i can (unfortunately these days they are putting it into almost everything where you would not expect it at all!)... of course i also do not think that sugar in for example an apple is bad, just the artificially added one to whatever where not necessary...

    @bruno26 still avoiding the evidence thing?

    i provide evidence when asked by people who appreciate evidence. therers a video of me deadlifting 10kg over twice my bodyweight on boards. not sayin it makes me an authority or anything but I think it might make any advice I give without evidence more reliable than some who wont provide evidence, doesn't understand basic nutrition, believes in a global food conspiracy and whos closest thing to evidence of even training is a list of random exercises.

    Good for you. You lifted a big weight therefore your advice on nutrition is reliable- ye that makes sense!

    I understand nutrition. It's not rocket science. You clearly don't . You believe you know it all but you don't really.

    Again you change my words. Where did I say there is a global food conspiracy? Anyone who writes a book or sells a food product or real food have one thing in common - to make money.

    You make many assumptions (golf, random exercises). I posted something about golf so the only exercise I get is golf- you really are clueless.

    Yes good idea but you did pose a question. Yes your posts are increasingly getting weirder and weirder and unfunny where humour is attempted.

    He probably thinks you don't train and only play golf because you said that yourself in another thread recently.

    I like to snack on Brazil nuts, they're the only kind of nuts that I wont stuff my face with. A couple go a long way.
