    Buy plain popcorn (the kind you pop yourself) and then salt the hell out of it. Add garlic or seasoning salt if you want flavor + salt. You can safely eat a whole lot without damaging your deficit. Pair it with a sweet diet soda you like or other sweet drink that has no/low calories.

    If you want a snack, try drinking a full glass of water. Sometimes that helps and makes you feel full (even slushy so you don't even want to eat anything after that lol). If you still want the snack after, try only eating half of what you planned to eat.

    I just leave some room in my calorie goal for a snack! I usually have some chocolate before bed. Sometimes also a salty snack like chips or whatever. But usually always chocolate.

    I just use plain old willpower to not snack during the day. I save all my calories for lunch, dinner, and my before bedtime snack.

    I go for a walk after dinner. It helps, and then I have something super low cal like a freezie when I get home.

    I tend to blow my calories on snacks...usually when I'm at the cottage and not counting calories. So I've decided to allow myself only a certain number of snacking treats for the week...maybe 2 sweet (cookies etc) and two salty (chips etc) That way I can still have a snacking treat but not all the time and I really have to decide if i want to use up my treat allowance or have something healthy instead. :)

    My snack of choice is a fourth of a large cucumber with peanut butter on it.

    cukes and PB 'eh? That's a combo I've never heard before. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
