Are peanuts considered healthy?

Sometimes for a late night snack I’ll do a tube of silken tofu with soy sauce and chili oil. Very few calories, a few grams of protein, and it feels kind of nice and refreshing out of the fridge. Basically works with any seasoning too

Just handy slices of raw vegetables like carrots tomatoes or pepper with a bit of spice.

some type of bean salad with a bunch of veggies, tomatoes and a vinegar dressing, maybe some cheese? make a giant bowl that lasts a week and gets better each day. just leave it in the fridge and grab a small bowl as a snack when you’re hungry. also works great as a quick meal/side

A Fuji or honey crisp apple. Juicy, sweet, tasty, filling, a bit messy. The perfect snack.

A can of tuna mixed with sweet relish, mayo, salt, pepper, and a few minimally salted crackers.

Red seedless grapes.

Imitation crab meat with cocktail sauce on the side. Maybe cheddar slices or olives on the side.

I consider these healthyish at the moment.

Peanuts are apparently healthy, just not the salt that comes with them. I also really like peanut butter.

I used to straight up eat flaxseed with a spoon, and I felt better, until it made me sick.

Popcorn, minimally salted

Bananas.

I like popcorn. I can make a bunch with like 2 tbsp of oil and 1 tsp of finely ground salt. Look up “popcorn” by Bryan David Gilbert. I don’t usually use the lao gan ma, but it’s nice if you want to. Also I prefer a flat-bottom pot to the wok.

This is probably my #1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispbread Either plain or with low calorie butter

Good suggestions for snacks but I think a lot of people missed the “when I want to shove something in my face as a force of habit.” You really want to get the lowest calorie thing possible, ideal would be lettuce and celery since those are basically nothing but still give you something to eat. Next would probably be apple slices, berries have surprisingly low sugar, egg white is basically pure protein but a full egg is fine too. Sprouts can be good if you grow them right. I sometimes just slowly eat a spoonful of peanut butter over like an hour but…

I would also recommend having random drinks you can go between, like tea soymilk coffee, even diet soda. Just avoid anything with sugar or fat. Things like nuts are healthy but not a great constant snack food because they do have a lot of fat, so that should be an intentional thing rather than something to reach for.

Nuts, fruit, steamed veggies (with or without seasoning), popcorn, GOOD beef jerky, yogurt.
Highly recommend you read Ultra-Processed People. I found that learning about what’s in the normal unhealthy snacks sort of makes you not want to eat them at all, which will make eating healthy snacks so much easier. Just my experience though.

Sometimes I just go to town on an entire container of cherry tomatoes

Popcorn is great. It’s like fiber, butter, salt and spices.

Been snacking on pita, labne (Lebanese yogurt I love it it has just a hint of the taste of cream cheese but it’s light and quot like yogurt) and toum (ingredients: garlic, oil, lemon juice, salt, magic). I imagine it’s doing great things for my cholesterol and vampire infestation.

Oh! And there’s the only one pounds bag of gummi worms. That’s healthy because shut up.

Wife likes putting peas (with some BBQ rub on em, brush on a little oil or get em damp if you want the rub to actually stick) in the air fryer, she says it makes em poop

MOINKs ate pretty great if you want to put the time into it
