What foods do you reach for when you are HUNGRY and only have a bit of your calorie budget left?

I'll start...

- Refried beans in a whole wheat tortilla sometimes with hot sauce.

- Lowfat cottage cheese sometimes with fruit

    8 special k cracker chips with 8 pieces of turkey peperoni
    a few peperoncini slices and a wedge of laughing cow cheese

    I like to arrange my plate with peppers, chips, peperoni and cheese

    Almonds--protein always holds me best! I usually have 4-5 before I fix supper so that I am not tempted to snack while I am in the kitchen.

    Man, all of these replies sound so healthy =)

    I will grab a Oroville Redenbacher's 100 calorie bag of popcorn; 5 or 6 Ritz crackers; a handful of goldfish (it's like 100 cal for 24 crackers or something like that); or an apple.

    ...and a Diet Coke!
