Trying to Add a variety to the diet, What you think?

[McPhatty]

So as I have posted in other threads, I am in the process of losing and getting back to my pre-marriage weight. Just want to add a little variety to my snacks instead of munching away on protein bars all day. Kind of hurts the wallet a bit too. I picked up this at my local grocery store, Publix. Figured I can spread it on slice of Ezekiel Bread, Maybe with some celery, even straight out of the tablespoon measuring thingamajig. I am losing weight and doing good. It is just that I also count my calories and sometimes I see I go under by like 200 calories. I figure with a serving of this, I can make up that deficit. Again this wont be an everyday eating. Just want to know what you guys and gals think?

As long as the majority of your carbs outside your workout time are low-gi, and your eating 200 under maintenance (imo 500/day under is ideal as it equals roughly -1lb/week) you will lose weight. Don't limit yourself so harshly in terms of dietary sources, it's not sustainable long term and can become a prison. Just my 02
