Hello I thought we should add Protien - Carb snacks we are eating. It will give us all new ideas :)
So I love to have...
apples and peanut butter
Carrot and Homous
Nuts and dates
Banana and almonds
What do you have as your protien-carb snack?

curried/deviled eggs made with a sweet tasting mayo dressing
cheese and oranges
peanut butter oatmeal
yogurt and blueberries
breakfast cereal with berries and whole milk
Sometimes if I have a carby snack, I'll grab some nuts to add protein. My dh and I make protein shakes with organic protein powder, whole milk, berries, and greens too

I also want to point out that if you're eating again very soon (like within 60-90 minutes) you can get away with having just carbs. THe reason we have carbs and protein is to prevent blood sugar from dropping after eating just or mostly carbs, but if you'll be eating again very soon it's ok because your blood sugar won't have a chance to drop.
^^this can be a good way to eat something like avocado which is kinda filling but not a lot of protein, or a chocolate bar - I used to have an avocado with salsa for a midmorning snack or a dark chocolate bar when I was working, and then in about another hour or so I would eat my actual lunch. My blood sugar never really had a chance to drop before I was eating again.
I love baked beans with scrambled eggs, potato waffle and a wholewheat toast in the morning
Are baked beans ok to eat?

Yes they're super! They are actually protein + carbs all on their own even without the egg/waffle if you are trying to watch calories.
That's great to know because I love them!

Will a handful of nuts do for frequent snacking or a teaspoon of a nut butter? Or should it be with a more carby item like bread or fruit?
nuts are protein + carbs and are fine for a snack.
