even "healthy" snacks are not good according to many nutritional pros, every time you eat or drink most anything except pure fat you raise sugar + require insulin the major contributor to most health issues as noted by the pros although depending on YOU a quality low carb snack may not be too bad except if trying to trim down. a lot depends on the individual IMO
although i never eat between my TWO meals a day i must say lots of interesting info here, on the kale its top of the "dirty dozen" list just behind strawberries!! organic for sure. gonna research the vit K comment as i take K2-Mk7 said to keep your arties cleaner. there are several types of vitamin K + generally plant nutrients DONT work as well as many think due to poor absorption. always looking to learn!! a quick search notes that vitamin K does not all blood thinners as there are others than coumadin, gotta go walk the doggie so researching will be later as i said always looking to learn + i find health interesting + believe little from mainstream medicine as its noted the USA spends the most but is the UNHEALTHIEST developed country + picking up my prescription glasses at fatmart yesterday confirms obesity is out of control with the health issues that eventually come from poor uncontrolled food + drink choices!!

Kale.
So many varieties. Some much better than others.
Some you just can't steam, boil, or otherwise cook with water. Sometimes just a very quick cook in oil, like stir fry is OK.
The "purple" kale is best is salads, or possibly dried.
And speaking of dried - homemade dried kale is very very tasty. I was amazed. Spice/salt it as desired. With Mexican spices, you can crumble it on top of pork tacos or beef nachos. Holy Mother of God. Good.

Full meals everytime? I'm not going to stuff myself with a breakfast before running my 5 miles at 4:30 am. I need to eat a snack though, or my blood sugar will drop and the run will become unpleasant. I also won't eat a lot after 4:00pm but I may have a snack after an hour-long evening workout. I also won't surf for three hours on either an empty stomach or after having eaten a meal. Snack means less than a meal. Doesn't mean constantly munching on stuff.
Anybody who needs to constantly eat keto, fast intermittently, eat super-low carb, and who must fast intermittently has a serious metabolic disorder. My sympathies.

4 meals, big boy? I eat two meals a day and a couple of snacks. I'm not following a particular schedule but eat when I'm hungry. Trying to balance mTor and AMPK.
Most people don't just have a small pre-workout snack it's just a constant daily feed cycle I see it day in and out at my workplace. Same people wear some kind of step counter or whatever they are good grief that's the worst..

I love apples and carrots. Probably my two favorite raw/good for you snacks. I love amonds,cashews, etc too. Seaweed sheets are good too, but oily/salty.
Ur a snak
A nice juicy sweet crisp apple that's relatively cool/cold is *chef's kiss*
Six pack of good Marzen or Mexican style lager.

I make these occasionally. Probably not the healthiest snack but better than a candy bar. Would probably go good with beer(not a beer guy) but I can guarantee they go great with a Mikes hard lemonade.
I cut the recipe in half-2 sleeves of Saltines and use a gallon ziplock bag to mix and store. I mix the canola oil, etc in a regular cereal bowl. Pour it over the crackers in the bag, seal, toss, and let sit for an hour or so.
