    Would baby carrots qualify? They're crunchy, and pretty low in calories.

    I've re-discovered mini flavored rice cakes. Caramel and chocolate. YUM! 16 of them is only 120 calories.

    I know they are a sin - but have you tried pink 'n' whites - marshmallow wafers - only 20 calories each!

    Usually I eat them with hummus or guacamole. You'd prefer a sweeter, crunchy snack?

    Eat less at meals, to leave spare cals for snacks.

    Exercise more to get more cals to eat.

    Both these make it far more enjoyable. :D

    I drink lots of ice cold water, chew gum. If the cravings get real bad I brush my teeth and/or whiten them too. :D

    Work out to earn extra calories then save them for after dinner :) There are a lot of great snacks like fresh strawberries with a couple tablespoons of light sour cream mixed with 2 tsps of splenda brown sugar...YUM! Special K crackers with a wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese, 1/4 cup of raisinettes if you crave chocolate, or try making a protein shake with frozen berries or 1/2 banana, a cup of milk, a scoop of whey protein powder and some ice...I guarantee you won't be able to eat another thing after you finish off the shake (makes close to 3 cups)!

    I have a huge sweet tooth. I love the extra dessert delights gum. It has saved me from the ice cream monster. So, lots of water, a piece of gum have helped keep me on track. Good Luck! :smile:

    Any snack sweet or salty, I don't discriminate. That's it, I'm done eating for the day. I'm going to do it!
