    A great big bowl of tortilla chips!:laugh: When I'm dieting, I try not to snack, but to drink water when I get hungry.

    String cheese, low carb yogurt, sunflower seeds, mixed nuts, popcorn....I am sure there are more but that is all that I can think of for now.

    I try to snack on fruit in the morning (and I'm really favoring blackberries right now), but I also have some low-cal cheese sticks and crackers to munch on... in fact, I just had some! Other things I grab are chips and salsa (exactly the portion size on a plate and no going back for more!), oatmeal (usually another morning thing), a serving of planters mixed nuts lightly salted, or yogurt. That last one is kind of rarity for me though.

    also going to be the millionth person to mention hummus- I like it with baby carrots.
    And I just tried these new snap pea crisps the other day that I'm liking: they're meant to be like a salad topper, but they're baked and not fried and crunchy and look like a bean... they're tasty. Found them in a produce display, strangely enough.

    My snacks are: hummus on Triscuits, nuts & a cutie, rice cake with peanut butter, salsa & tortilla chips, popcorn, apple with peanut butter, string cheese, boiled eggs (whites only) or zone perfect bars (perfect for my sweet craving).

    Well usually I'd want to eat everything in site, but these days I have been opting for various types of popcorn. Delish!

    Mostly fruit and vegetables. Sometimes air popped popcorn. Sometimes some nuts or trail mix. Occasionally a bowl of oatmeal. Greek yogurt. Sometimes some toast or a multigrain waffle with low fat cream cheese or peanut butter. Hardboiled eggs.

    Dried fruit, like cranberries
    Homemade green tea sablé (44 cals each!)
    Homemade low cal sweet treats, like orange cake, or melonpan (all recipes amended to be super low cal)

    I don't really tend to snack much, unless I'm having a treat day, wherein I'll slip in a Starbucks tall drink, or a piece of deli cake. Not a big snack-guy, really, so my list is pretty short.

    I tend to drink green tea as a snack, I think, more than eating something specific.

    homemade no sugar added applesauce, light yogurt, peanut butter(1 tbsp), string cheese, baby carrots (they are easy and somewhat sweet), oranges ( slice them and keep them in the fridge for easy access), a handful of dry plain cheerios, almonds.

    when you get a craving for a snack eating 7grams of good fat will help the craving, but remember to wait 20 minutes for the effects :0) HAPPY HEALTHY EATING EVERYONE!

    I have to eat protein/carbs/fat at each meal (or snack) as i am hypoglycemic and I feel terrible and will fall asleep if I don't. For a fat I like either pistachios, almonds, peanut butter. For carbs a fruit or veggie. For protein a ostrim meat stick, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, turkey, chicken etc....Or a protein bar or protein smoothie. I also eat 5-6 meals per day and always feel full of energy. However, it takes a lot of planning! One of my favorites is soynuts and green grapes-salty and sweet! :bigsmile:
