anything that comes in little pieces, like toffeefe or manner.
I’m on a diet but a huge sweettooth. This helps me grab one of them as a dessert after a healthy meal.
A shitload of my favorite brand of protein bars, tastes just close enough to a chocolate bar that I dont feel cheated.
Also the fitness branded protein ice creams. 360 calories and I get to fuck up a whole pint watching TV?
And both of them help me hit my protein targets for the day.
Are there savory protein bars available?
Most savory protein options are like some sort of jerky.
None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.
When you say you make your own marzipan, do you start from almonds? That seems like so much work- is it significantly cheaper or better than store bought marzipan or do you just prefer to be self sufficient?
When I have time I do it from scratch but usually I end up using almond flour.

ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water…
Oh no now I need some 😛. Had totally forgotten they existed 🤤
Microwave popcorn. It’s convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn’t all get horked down on the first day.
Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews… Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there’s the spiced and coated varieties
Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don’t feel like cooking.
Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it’s the best ever but it’s 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there’s also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it’s not instant gratification y’know?
Once you bake a pan though it’s pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you’re not too concerned with your waistline.
Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.
Plus you can get a Costco sized box!
Realistically this is also a healthy choice because it requires effort, so time to reconsider
Ritz peanut butter crackers for as my fat intake.
Breakfast bars. They’re not just for breakfast!
I’m also partial to chips & salsa.
I love chips and salsa - issue being that I’ll house a party sized bag of tortilla chips and a big ol container of salsa in like 2-3 sittings, which I guess is fine… But it feels like that many corn chips ain’t healthy. Main concern is my salt intake.
I miss trader Joe’s dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.
Dark chocolate. Sweet enough to satisfy sugar cravings, but a low enough sugar content I can chomp on one to get my blood sugar up before going to the corner store for breakfast.
I was with you until you said before breakfast!?!
Dark chocolate (75%+) has a non-insignificant amount of caffeine in it, an ounce can have as much as a cup of black tea, so that may be why.
Potato chips/crisps!
Junk food is a metaphor for thermodynamics. Nothing lasts. if it’s in stock, then it’s eaten. So I try not to buy any. But even then I will dip strawberries in sugar.
