Do You Prefer Savory or Sweet Snacks?

I like them more but I always eat more savory at a time.

Savory.Sweet hurts my teeth.

really I like both

Give me candy lots and lots of candy

I really like them both.

sweet is by name is better and it's self is SWEET........

Savory, even though I don`t know what it is.

Sweet, without a doubt.

Mainly salty snacks...gotta have my salt!

and sweet and salty or just anything.

Both, just different types of snacks ;)

Mostly Fruit .

I'm not into sweets!

depends

actually depends on the mood :p

Definitely savory.

I like a little bit of both. The operative word is little since I prefer to eat whole meals, snacks just get in the way of my appetite for real food.

Savory

I crave salt more than sweet.

I prefer foods that are flavorful and spicy. I avoid sugar as much as possible.
I am health conscious so I always choose foods that are low in calories and
non- fattening.

Lady Blue, all food is fattening if you have too much of it. Just have anything in moderation and exercise. Diet does not work. Sugar no matter where it's from, beets, cane, corn, honey, will be converted into fat in your liver. There is no such thing as fat free food as your liver convert all the food we eat into fat for energy.

I totally disagree. There are foods that contain straight sugar like ice cream
and cake that is way more caloric and fattening than other foods. Yogurt is way less sugary and fattening than ice cream, soda, and cakes. There is no such thing as fat free food ? You are wrong. There are many foods that are fat free. Read your labels the next time you shop. Foods low in saturated and trans fat are less fattening.
Diet most certainly works for me and millions of other. There is way less fat in beets than there is in pastries or ice cream. Many foods such as fresh fruit may have natural sugar but they are not fattening. Portion size, what you eat and foods low in calories are key factors in successful dieting and keeping weight down.

Complex carb like beans (among others) is converted slowly into sugar then fat in your liver whereas simple carb is converted faster. Eventually all sugar regardless where it is from is converted to fat and stored for future energy use by your body. That is what I meant by saying that there is no such thing as fat-free food since everything you are eating will be converted into fat in your body and stays there if you do not exercise. It is when you have too much simple carb food and you do not use too much energy to burn like in aerobic exercise that you will be packing in the pounds. Dieting is controlling portions hence controlling calories. Fresh fruits are complex carbs, heavy in fibers and hence also lower in sugar so they are converted slower and you may be walking it off and burn the excess sugar. That is all I am saying.

Thanks for the heads up. I can appreciate what you're saying too but there
are foods that have a higher sugar content and provide no nutrition and are loaded witth refined sugar. There are foods that are lower in sugar, calories and fats that are way healthier. Exercise is good but portion size of healthy foods is the name of the game in dieting and optimal health. Thanks for the link. :)

I'm checking out the link now. That's a wealth of knowledge. Thank you. :)

Actually I like both equally.

I have a "Sweet Tooth!" :-)

I love em both, just savory is just so........ savory.

I like the above (Yes) but sweets more ►

Thanks juicebox !

Gotta' have sugar to be well balanced and calm throughout life. It's a medical fact.
People in mental institutions suffer from a sugar deficiency.

Can you provide any independent data on that?
Many of their medications (Olanzapine e.g.) are well-known for packin' on the pounds.

Thanks, this'll be helpful for a friend (me too) that has problems with excess sugar intake & depression.

Only been in a hospital psych ward a few times for a couple weeks each (so no expert on life in a asylum) they usually try to serve to decent food there. would you have SPECIFIC data on that, please? The info you provided is for general nutrition, not institutional living

So I think your speculation on a sugar deficiency may be erroneous, instead, I see Type 2 all over the place, i.e. a problem with excess or metabolizing sugar. The slimmer patients tend to have addictions which compete with their diet but that's only a quick guess.

Olanzapine is presently undergoing a Class-Action suit for being implicate in making patients obese (with consequent diabetes & liver trouble) but that could be the effect on one's cognition with managing oneself rather than direct physical effects.

Is it the Chicken or the Egg?

excuse my flatulence

I am a sweet tooth.
