A bagful of cold fried egg sandwiches on low-carb bread. I know ..... to most normal people that sounds pretty yucky, but I am addicted to the darn things, and always have been.

My best friend is type 2....his go too snack is nuts now...peanut...cashews...oh yeah.....and beef jerky

nuthin.

I have a power breakfast in the am before hitting my stand, and a big lunch to carry me in the afternoon. Kinda a stickler about no unnecessary movement, etc. That doesn't mean I wont have a snickers bar or such in my pocket for once I have left, or if I am still hunting.

Now, if I am bear hunting, that's another thing all together....I am usually in a ground blind, that gives me much greater freedom of movement, but I am also usually there much longer....sometimes up to 8 hrs. I am bound to have 2-3 sandwiches, a bunch of cookies, etc. I'm hankering for one of Ms. Lindsays leftover sauerbraten sandwiches, now that I am thinking of it!

ooops, sorry, I just realized after re reading the initial question, that the writer was wondering about good diabetic snacks....my answer certainly wasn't any help....But my wife is.....and I think you should inquire with your md for your particular condition and care, to get his recommendations...actually a couple bite size snickers bars in the pocket are good insurance against low sugar.

The size of the bag depends on who's packing it ...... lol.

Walmart has some bread that is 11g of carbs with 2g of dietary fiber (which I was told by a dietician can be subtracted from the carbs for a total of 9g of carbs per slice). So the egg has no carbs, the bread has 18g of carbs (both slices). each sandwich is darn near a "freebie" and they are filling.

The bread: Walmart's Great Value 100% whole wheat round top bread. It tastes great too. I have been eating it for a couple of years as the only bread that I eat, and haven't gotten sick of it yet. For those who count calories, each slice has 60 calories.

I have been known to down 4 sandwiches on an all-day stand. That and my thermos of coffee, and I am one happy hunter all day long.
