    If you cut out your favourite snack foods, eventually you'll start craving them and have a big blow out.
    Better to ease off them slowly, sticking within calories.

    A bit like smokers trying to give up

    Also, I want those P3 treats to come out in the UK now

    I tried cutting out all snacks and all wine and became a little obsessed. Kept thinking about snacks and wine.

    Now I save calories for one glass of wine and a small but salty snack in the evening. Just right!

    I've been really focusing on eating healthy, balanced meals. Is it okay to eat snack foods, like a few pretzels or goldfish as long as I am sticking within my caloric boundaries?

    Absolutely.

    I made the thread. Posted a couple of things already. Will add more when I make anything I think people might like.

    Heck, you can eat unhealthy snack foods. I try to eat ice cream or chocolate once a day. I portion control and save calories for it. I even drink on the weekends and continue to lose weight. It's all about moderation and logging accurately. I figure one 180 snickers ice cream bar at the end of the day when I have 200 calories left is a win win, especially if it means I won't be tempted to eat an entire pint of ben & jerry's the next day.
    I'm going to make a thread on how to make healthy treats that taste like the unhealthy ones but are actually heathy. I just keep getting too busy to make the thread. lol Soon though.

    Get on with it.........
    I need to find some tasty snacks

    Yes! I have snacks scheduled into my day:

    8:30 AM: 300 calories
    12:30 PM: 350 calories
    2:30 PM: 150 calories
    4:30 PM: 200 calories
    6:30 PM: 500 calories
    8:30 PM: 300 calories

    Any extra calories I earn through exercise make my dinner and/or evening snack bigger.

    Special K cracker chips are yummy and low calories.

    YES. Eating these with some cheese as we speak.
