A big welcome and thank you to my new readers! I decided to "advertise" my blog on FB so I can get some more readers and support during the week! Am really feeling the love on FB on Wednesdays when I put my result on there in the morning :)
I had a good day today and after having a couple of boiled eggs for morning tea, I found that they really did keep me going/full until about 1.30pm when I realised what the time was - just wasn't really hungry at all.
Am snacking on fruit which probably isn't the best re carb content but as I don't eat nuts/seeds at all - a lot of suggestions from friends etc for snacks are out for me! So lately my fruit content has been 2/3 plums, a peach and sometimes an apple too.

OK, as we are trying to keep you low carb then snacks should be only maybe an apple. How about cheese? Perhaps buy the odd Atkins bar (on sale sometimes for $1.99), not the greatest choice but low carb and delish when there is not much choice.
No nuts at all??? Oh dear... Just remember the lower you keep your carbs, the less hunger you will feel. Those eggs are great - why not make those little bacon and egg pies on my recipe list? You can make bigger or smaller and they are lovely and really fill a gap.
Another thought - you love baking, try some low carb slices and muffins etc - they will make you feel "normal" but not add insulin spiking carbs.
Karen another idea for a snack is scotch eggs. I've made them this week and had half a one for dinner with veges then had the other half the next day for lunch but could make a great snack as well.
I made my mince with a lot of corriander (because i LOVE it) and put some finely chopped celery & carrots in it to so my scotch egg had a vege content and the delish flavour of the corriander, plus the boiled egg in the middle. I will definately be making more of them next time as I only made two to trial the flavour. You could add anything you liked to incorporate the flavours you like. My next ones will have some sun dried tomatoes in them.
Hey Karen well done. I sit at a desk all day and I always use to be a chronic snacker. I have never been a breakfast person but since low carbing I always make sure I have hard boiled eggs ready at hand. I have a couple around 9 - 10am which keeps me going till lunchtime when I normally have leftovers from the night before. I also keep cheese and frankfurters in the fridge at work in case I forget my lunch.
Lynise's suggestion of scotch eggs is great.
