Tv snacks??

I would like to find out what snacks you guys eat.

When I am in front of the TV I got to snack on something all the time.

Trying not to cheat becomes hard.

Snacks I eat are normally :

Billtong
Olives
Gherkins

What do you guys eat or think is good to go?

In front of the TV I sometimes eat.........the Mrs. :haha :nana2

lean biltong,chashew nuts macadamia nuts & pepsi max

Billtong tops the list atm. nothing else is nicer to eat.

Wish there were crisps that I could eat everyday

Am I the only one that drinks not fizzy drinks what so ever.
I drink water with a week solution of suger free low carb passion fruit.

pop corn

I'm a fizzy drink addict, its not good but i just love the bubbles

natural peanut butter and a teaspoon
I agree with DJ... popcorn is the way to go

Dj gave me an idea. Popcorn in cottage cheese dip...

I dont think the sugar free ones are bad either. If u calculate how much sugar is in a can of coke, there are a good few teaspoons and then people wonder where all the extra calories come from. All I am worried about in the sugar free cold drinks, which I drink a lot of, is that some contain aspartate (type of sweetener) which is believed to be converted to formaldehyde (used to preserve dead bodies) So if you think about it, you could end up preserving your organs in the long run :X

So no need for PCT's anymore? Just drink fizzy drinks with aspartate

:laugh:

The sweetener is aspartame... It contains the amino acid phenylalanine, and excessive consumption leads to the build up of metabolites that inhibit energy production in cells.
It's only really a problem in people who are unable to metabolise phenylalanine correctly.

But I know you know this... Rough day Beesting?

pop corn..

what quantity of pop corn?

im quite postive you guys/gals not speaking about microwave popcorn,

DJ everyone here seems to like biltong.what would u say to lean kudu/venison biltong and what quantity?

50g of pop corn seeds yields 40g of carbs.

damn thats alot of carbs considering we talking abt the evening here,so no pop corn for me

Aspartame is still metabolized to aspartate but yes the sweetener is aspartame. Aspartate is still believed to have negative effects when consumed in large amounts, regardless of whether people have the enzymes required to metabolize phenyalanine.

To answer ur question, yesterday was a crappy day though

So........would you still pick up weight if you drink suger free fizzies... I havent had one in so long ... And its kinda making me
keen for one.........bubbles........hmmmmmmmmmm (homer voice)
