10/29 - Food Journal

I'm going to try and track my food here and see how it goes...I'm not sure if I'm going to like doing it in this format.

Any suggestions for low carb / low fat snack item, that has protein?

Notes
Net carbs = total carbs less fiber
Fiber helps lower the impact of sugars and starches on blood glucose

I also drink at least 64 oz of water each day, usually more. I have a HUGE jug that I carry around with me. I get made fun of, but I know I'm getting the amount of water I'm supposed to. :-)
