I mostly avoided whole wheat, not because it bothered me, but because I can't stand the taste of the stuff.  Like eating ground-up twigs mixed with your bread! Haha. But that said, I do sometimes eat whole wheat bread, and don't have any problems with it at all. I also eat granola bars like crazy - oats, of course, but still whole grain, and still some IF in there. I'm an A, but was always D-predominant.
As far as snacks go, it depends for me if I'm eating it with something else. If I'm going to have it with or shortly after lunch food (i.e., a sandwich), I go right into raw veggies - celery, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, pea pods, cucumbers. Fruit-wise, I often do grapes, or peaches or apples with the skin on.
Fruit IF snacks I'll eat without any SF beforehand, but not veggies - seems like veggies are a little more harsh, at least to me. Most of the time, though, if it's a completely random snack - like mid-afternoon, a couple hours after lunch - I still stick with SF snacks only.
Mall food isn't exactly known for its health and fiber content. I'd be surprised if you could find anything IF there, other than maybe a salad. It really is best to keep a stocked kitchen and bring at least your own munchies, if not your own lunch, every day.
Anyway, your plan to add a little bit of grain IF here and there is a good one.  I'm so glad you're getting more daring! Just remember to take it slow.

Re: For those of you who DO eat whole wheat and whole grains...plus good IF snacks?
