Snack recommendation - vegetarian, high in protein and savory

[Anonymous]

I am trying to lose some weight gradually- about 10 lbs before my September wedding. I eat decent breakfasts and lunches but snacks are severing lacking a I end up eating a lot of salsa-chips, sugary fruit etc. I like savory foods more than sweet and need some recommendations.

Roasted chick peas with seasoning. You can buy them already made in packs at Whole Foods in the chips section or you can make them on your own - not hard to do.

Pumpkins seeds (pepitas)

They are very high in calories and salt, though. (NP here).

Maybe the roasted seaweed snacks from TJ? Might satisfy the urge to snack. Low in calories.

Nuts (with strict portion control)

IMO don't worry about calories, eat nutrient dense filling foods. And limit carbs.

Stop munching. Eat three meals a day, get lots of protein and good fat.

Most cheese is not vegetarian, its contains rennet (typically listed on ingredient as enzymes)

Brands that are vegetarian that use non-animal rennet or microbial enzymes are: Whole Foods 365 Brand, Horizon, Organic Valley

Trader Joes always lists their rennet source as animal, vegetable or microbial. I also get good cheese at Whole Foods marked veg.
