    Definitely peanut butter... or some peanuts or almonds...

    I also do one cheat meal/day once per week. I find that it helps with weight loss actually because it keeps my body guessing. You could always have a cheat meal if you didn't feel "bad" for going OVER your calories one day (I don't). This is the one day a week where I order pasta alfredo or something like that (not a binge day, just a "I can get whatever I'm craving for one meal" day).

    Good luck!

    Chocolate milk is a really good snack too!

  • Any healthy sort of fat. Like everyone else has been suggesting, I am a fan of peanut butter (<- nothing is as successful at sabotaging my diet). Also consider fats from sources such as avocado or olives. They are also high in calories, but nutrient dense. I wouldn't suggest indulging in something unhealthy which you wouldn't normally consume such as a sweet since it will increase the likeliness of you craving it later. Definitely opt for something with lots of nutrients!
