Question by ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ: What is the perfect junk food that I could eat?
I posted this in the diet/exercise a couple hours ago and didnt get any type of relevant reply.

hoping someone here knows what they are talking about…it would help more than you know :(

Requirements/desires:
~ low calorie. less than 100 per serving really appreciated…
~ zero-low fat. 0 trans fat no exceptions. 0 sat fat appreciated too.
~ zero-low carb
~ zero- low sodium (very important!)
~ zero-low sugar
~ minimal ingredients,
~ meat, dairy, gluten, soy, peanut free (NO EXCEPTIONS) corn free please too…
~ not addictive tasting (dont want to risk binging)
~ low-glycemic index
————————————–…
example of a near perfect junk food would be ore-ida hash browns.
I uploaded a picture of the nutrition facts:
http://i56.tinypic.com/2d2dm3s.jpg (If it was lower carb it would be perfect!)
ore ida hash browns would be my frozen junk food of choice for the reasons listed above…however, sometimes I don’t have access to a stove, which is why i’m looking for a ready made snack that I don’t have to cook or store…
. Im blessed with ibs among other inconvenient health problems..
pleaseeeee dont answer: “apple slices or carrots are a great on the go snack!” or “junk food is bad” thanks i know.
I’m working with a dietitian, food allergist, gastroenterologist, dermatologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, and a doc that practices integrative medicine. not hypochondriac, just dealt a wild deck of cards.
im vegetarian and educated. im aware that potato chips are not good for you.
please dont ask me “why cant you snack on something healthy?” why is that important? just answer :) I do eat organic produce WHEN I can.
Also, I eat regular meals throughout the day…Whatever you recommend is a SNACK, it is not my daily nutritional needs.
really not a big fan of products with corn for more reasons than my stomach not agreeing with it (agricultural bullshit) even tho i do like popcorn.
i’ll pass on nuts too
Along with gluten intolerance, I can’t handle oats either, so any type of grains I eat is always rice or potato based, never wheat or corn…
I prefer snacks that are thicker vs thin. example: Ruffles vs lays. (like to take more time to chew each bite)
My fav chips are utz crab and Kettles spicy thai. too bad spicy foods can mess with me sometimes too. LAME… but plain is the way to go i guess
I really hope you enjoyed my novel. If you made it this far, then I seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s an overwhelming a lot of rules to keep in mind but it’s kind of necessary.
also if for any reason you didn’t want to post an answer here, you can click on my profile and just email me :)
Here are my questions:

1. What packaged food would be perfect for me if my selection for purchase was limited too:
a. gas station/corner store
b. grocery store
c. whole foods
d. trader joes

3. What other Question and Answer sites do you know of where I could post this question again?
4. What websites besides sparkpeople.com have forums dedicated to healthy living and nutrition where I could post this question?
5. what exactly are the last two ingredients listed in the nutrition facts of the ore ida hash browns
6. what other frozen foods like ore-ida hash browns do you know of?

wow you people are so predictable.
1. “my brain hurt” -thanks for tellin us how you really feel.
2. “Perfect junk food? seriously?” I believe I asked for people NOT to criticize my question
3. “Get some carrots, broccoli, and snap peas and dip them in ranch… problem solved” good thinking! every gas station I know sells broccoli and snap peas…
4. “Um you could get the 100 cookies/chip packs.” awesome idea since all of them contain gluten…
5. trader joes guy – thank you. I forgot I do like their little rice crackers! It’s also the type of food that I can eat a few and put them down. bad: high carb and high sodium…two things I listed as a no no in requirement…and researching online I can’t tell exactly which crackers you are talking about but some of them are high in fat as well…and a few have soy in the ingredients :good: serving size around 100 calories, gluten free.. I would check you as best answer b/c you got the other folks beat by a long shot but I’ll wait a lil while
