    Spaghetti squash. I love just about any type of squash, but this winter squash is very low calorie and tastes more like a summer squash, but is as filling as the denser winter squashes.

    Recently I've been very into English cucumber sliced and topped with an ounce of goat cheese, the tangy cheese with the crisp cucumbers. . . mmm~

    I'm also really into seaweed snacks, which is basically the nori that they use for sushi only packaged in strips and usually with a flavoring of some kind, they have a satisfying crunch. Don't knock them until you try 'em!

    homemade pico de gallo... eaten with a spoon, but it's best with homemade corn tortilla chips :)

    Broccoli is probably my absolute favorite low-cal food. I cannot get enough of hot, steamed, lightly salted broccoli.

    Zucchini!

    Eat it raw, stir fry with beans and spices, make zucchini tots, hollow it out and fill with tomatoes and basil. Cut it in thin strips and make a lasagna/casserole.

    My favorite way is julienned, and to use it instead of traditional spaghetti ("zoodles")~

    I am in LOVE with turkey jerky! Has so much protein for just a snack. But it comes second to fruit course. :)

    I did try them. I read several posts for these on MFP saying they were a good substitute for chips (potato chips, corn chips, not french fries). I was very disappointed. They are okay, but they are nothing like chips.
