    My fave snack is raw almonds, string cheese, and a piece of fruit...filling and yummy! Of course, if you drink a big glass of water with it you will be quite full! :drinker:

    · A piece of fruit with 1 slice of low-fat cheese

    · 25 almonds

    · 100 calorie-pack snack plus a piece of fruit

    · 1 cup of low-fat yogurt

    · 2 hard-boiled eggs

    I eat celery with just a little peanut butter for flavor. Also Special K bars are good and they are only 100 calories per bar. One thing I love in the summer is taking grapes and freezing them. They are a great snack that will keep you cool in the summer!

    Berries and fruits. Certain types of nuts.

    Here's a link that helps me check what to eat and what not to. They also have a Protein to Carbs ratio that makes it easier :)
