rk: it’s hyphen-minus actually

My number one barrier to weight loss is that I snack in bed after everyone’s asleep. I’ve worked all day, I’ve done family stuff, I wanna relax. I used to have a beer or two but I’ve been good, no booze since Christmas.

I can’t break the snack habit, so instead I got sliced pickles. Kosher dills, as God intended. The whole jar is like 15 calories so I can eat as many as I want.

They’re wet though. If I coated them in flour and fried them a bit they’d have a dry shell. Problem solved!

@rk I find that crunching on a crisp salad (no dressing, just from a bagged salad) feels about the same to me as crunching on chips while watching a show.

@rk A local Indian place does pakora-coated dill pickles. Maybe some calories, as a reward for being so good.

@rk sprinkle tajin on them. gives them a little grit and a nice change of pace.

@rk I peer pressured myself.

At first glance I thought that was a churro but I’m not even mad.

@rk Tried kale chips? Their snack / caloric ratio is pretty good, too.

That’s a good call.
