Hi I’m referring to this Whale Brand Jelly Fish Crispy - https://groceryasia.com.au/product/whale-brand-jelly-fish-crispy-otak-otak-100g/ If the nutritional values are true this is insane for the taste and value.
If not, what would be some good alternatives? I got the Hot Calabrese Salame plate and I really like how it looks like an "Adult Lunchable". Is there more "Adult Lunchables" I could potentially buy? Or should I just try...
I’m getting really tired of hard boiled eggs.
What snacks or bars have low GI and can be eat immediately ?

You can only pick one category of fruits - so you can’t say “apples and pears”, but you can say berries. Or just apples. Sometimes I feel like snacking on something, but I’d like it to be nutritious as well.
Alright, share your favorite filling night time snack. (150 cals or less preferably). I like to start my fasts feeling nice and full, but I haven’t found a good evening snack before starting. I love having some low cal popcorn,...

I've tried IF for 16 hours from 6.30pm to 10.30am the following day. In the best case scenario, I sleep with my daughter by 8.30pm, wake up the next day, have a black coffee at 7.30 am and break the fast...

Dates are natural and they are used in many recipes for sweetness. How healthy is it really to consume e.g., energy bites that contain dates, oats and nuts/seeds, maybe some dark chocolate, every day? I'm wondering about the sugar content, not...
I went from 255 to 140 with keto and IF (usually OMAD with occasional 48h and 72h fasts in between). I'm now maintaining with low-carb and 16:8 IF. That means I skip breakfast and I don't ever snack even in...

My SO isn't a fan of the texture of things like almonds, walnuts, etc. These things as nut butters still don't solve the problem. What are some good ideas nutritionally speaking that would help fill the void that nuts provide?
Which nuts are the most healthy ones to eat during a 18-6 fasting? How many grams per day would be enough? From what I read the pecan nut seems to be a very good choice.
