I've recently started entering my tracker info into another website that gives me totals for calories, carbs, proteins, etc. I've found that I'm eating WAY more carbs than recommended. I usually turn to reduced-fat crackers and rice cakes for snacks which are loaded with carbs. Any ideas of other things I could try that would be more carb friendly? I sometimes have nuts and fruits, too, but even my delicious banana is loaded with carbs!

Hard-boiled eggs, string cheese, deli lunch meat, cut up raw veggies- look up Atkins or South Beach for other snack ideas. There are carbs in just about everything, and then there are good carbs and bad carbs. It's the refined white flour items- bread, crackers, tortillas, pasta, etc. one should be weary of, if reducing or omitting, not the healthy ones like found in bananas. Multigrain versions of the above are healthier alternatives, if you're not looking to omit all of them.

Hummus with fresh vegies!! you can get different flavored hummus at the store and i think the carbs are lower like 4 carbs per 2 Tablespoons to rice cakes having like 11 carbs per 1 cake plus it will help you get more of your vegetables in!!! its a good snack that definately takes the edge off!!!
