I eat a lot of fresh vegetables and limit my fruit to only 2 peices a day. Fruit is high in carbs and sugars so they are not really friendly when you are trying to lose weight.
For a bit of a treat I eat Lindt Mint Dark Chocolate (3 squares) which is only 143 calories and can give you the sugar fix you may crave.
If you are sick of eating salad all the time, try having steamed vegetables, grilled (with no oil on a gridle) vegetables like asparagus, brocolini, cherry/grape tomatoes and mushrooms - they are really tasty with a small steak, chicken or fish.

I like to buy bulk popcorn. You can throw it in a paper lunch bag, roll down the top and pop like normal pre-packaged. Zero salt, zero fat, zero preservatives! Plus, it's crazy cheap. You can buy a whole pound for less than a dollar.

I like to top it with nutritional yeast (tastes like parmesan!) a sprinkle of olive oil and a tiny bit of salt.


Also baby carrots, and hummus.
