    What is your weight loss goal set to? It looks like you only have 20 lbs left to go, which means you should be set to lose .5-1 lb/week. Any more than that is too aggressive and will result in hunger, loss of lean muscle mass, etc.

    Personal preference has a lot to do with satiety. For me, a banana is a great "tide me over to the next meal" snack. Most bananas are 90-130 calories. My husband likes to keep hard boiled eggs as a great snack: 120 calories.

    Granola bars can be great for a sweet tooth. I really like Kashi's chocolate almond and sea salt bar. It's 140 calories and 6 g of protein, which is decent.

    There are lots of great threads on here with snack ideas. Just type it into the search engine and they should pop up. Good luck.
