What is your favorite HEALTHY munchie food?

^ your list should read:

butter
meat
whole milk
peanut butter
olive oil
cheese
 
Raw parsnip roots. If you get them young they are crunchy and surprisingly sweet and flavorful.
 
Dairy Queen! they came out with the new sandwich press thing, and I always order a turkey n swiss sammy melt, along with a fat free banana blizzard. mmm :)
 
Is Beef Jerky good for you???

I love munching on that stuff. I've read the label and it seems OK in the calorie\fat\protien departments but I don't really know I guess.

New favorite healthy snack! : Baby carrots dipped in spreadable cheese (like the Laughing Cow, its like 35 calories for a little wedge). YUMMY! Better than ranch dressing IMO.

What is the diff between trans fats and other fats??
 
Roastd unsalted pistachios, raw almonds, freshly crashed walnuts, carrots and other raw vegies, yogurt, fruit, roasted oat muesli mixed with nuts and dry fruit and other goodies with milk.
 
Trans fats (or trans fatty acids) are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid. Another name for trans fats is “partially hydrogenated oils." Look for them on the ingredient list on food packages.

Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels. Eating trans fats increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Trans fats pose a higher risk of heart disease than saturated fats, which were once believed to be the worst kind of fats. While it is true that saturated fats -- found in butter, cheese and beef, for example -- raise total cholesterol levels, trans fats go a step further. Trans fats not only raise total cholesterol levels, they also deplete good cholesterol (HDL), which helps protect against heart disease.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of trans fats you eat to less than 1 percent of your total daily calories. That means if you need 2,000 calories a day, no more than 20 of those calories should come from trans fats. That’s less than 2 grams of trans fats a day. Given the amount of naturally occurring trans fats you probably eat every day, this leaves virtually no room at all for industrially manufactured trans fats.

^ Wow, to each his own I guess. I eat oatmeal with soymilk almost every day for breakfast, so I have trouble thinking of that as munchie food.
