    Snacks are usually:

    Baby carrots, Apple (with or without peanut butter depending on calories available), Strawberries, String Cheese, Roasted Almonds, Protein Shake.

    If I'm indulging: Frozen yogurt bars, a few cookies, a piece of chocolate.

    What is protein pudding?

    Here is what I make..

    Sugar-Free Instant Pudding 4 servings package
    2 cups of cold skim milk
    2 scoops of protein powder (usually unflavored)

    Mix protein powder and milk thoroughly in shaker to ensure protein powder is mixed in.
    Then follow pudding package directions using the protein powder milk mixture as the liquid

    Each 1/2 serving will have about 14g of protein depending on the protein powder you use.

    Can do something similar with Sugar-Free Jello.
    Dissolve Jello with 1c boiling water
    Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool
    Mix 2 scoops protein powder with 1c cold water
    Mix protein powder water into cooled dissolved jello
    The protein powder tends to settle towards the bottom, but doesn't affect taste

    I like walnuts, almonds, dried apricots, apples, baby carrots, sliced cucumbers for snacks. I also love okra dill pickles, which are insanely low in calories.

    After I buy strawberries I put them in the freezer, whole (don't wash until you take them out to use them). They're great in cold cereal, but sometimes I make a smoothie with 3-4 frozen strawberries, a small banana, vanilla extract, a little skim milk and some Splenda. It's a real treat. Fat-free, no-sugar yogurt is a good snack, too.

    I don't see what makes one day good and another bad.

    mostly nuts, fruit, jerky, cheese, greek yogurt, trail mix, dark chocolate, etc. Occasionally I will indulge in cookies and the like, but I prefer to save those "junk" calories for beer and whatnot.

    Mixed nuts (I make my own because I can't have almonds but I also buy nuts that are plain, unsalted and natural if possible). I also add pumpkin seeds (natural), sunflower seeds, goji berries, greek yogurt covered cranberries and a few dark chocolate chips. This is my FAV snack to eat after a work out.

    AT other times i have hummus with veggies or greek yogurt and fruit.

    Quest Cookies and Cream protein bars. They have 1g of sugar, 3g of total carbs, yet they taste like the forbidden fruit that is dessert. Oh, and 17g of fiber, so they fill you up.

    EAS Advantage Carb-Control Chocolate Fudge Protein shakes. Once again, 100 calories, 3g of sugar (I think, it's really low) and it's just delicious chocolate milk.

    And for when I really REALLY crave some carbs, I'll grab my Special K wheat crackers (24 of them in a serving :D) and two wedges of laughing cow cheese.

    All in all, I use protein as often as I can for snacks, it seems to be the most satisfying for hunger control.
