    Yes! I love snacks . . . and I feel I stay healthier and lose more when I eat more frequently and spread the calories out a little instead of in 3 meals.

    For snacks I eat:
    a lot of fruit
    yogurt
    string cheese
    nuts (almonds are my favorite)
    carrots
    celery (sometimes with peanut butter)

    I also keep a few varieties of the 100 calorie packs (cookies, chips, pretzels, etc) around in case I am really craving something sweet or salty.

    In between meals i have a small side salad or some fruit like grapes, strawberry's, oranges or apples.....any fruit you like. I also love sugar snap peas, which is very low in calories (33 cals per 100g)

    Hope this helps you.

    I get little snack bags and fill them with snacks that I can grab that are less than 200 calories. Otherwise I could grab the TIN of almonds and eat half the can mindlessly.

    Fiber one bars
    A container of yogurt with 1/2 cup regualr all bran taped to it
    24 almonds
    small banana
    6 dried apricots
    half a cup of blueberries (with yogurt and all bran)
    2 Meseli crackers with 2 TBSP of sugar free jam
    one cup sliced fresh strawberries----good with the yogurt and all bran
    2 slices of 34-40 calorie bread with 2 Tbsp of Cream cheese(keeps better in wrapper with saran wrap and 2 Tbsp of sugar free jam
    steamed bag of edamame

    Wow didn't realize I had so many snacks!!

    I eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. 2 to 3 of those are snacks. Some are.....


    4 turkey pepperoni, 1 RF cheese stick, 3 RF Triscuts (sometimes this is lunch)
    Fiber One Bar
    Rice Cakes
    SF Pudding cup
    SF Jello cup
    Hard boiled egg
    Handful of grapes
    Orange or apple
    Applesauce Lite
    Smart Food High Fiber Popcorn
    100 calorie snack popcorn

    and more...

    I stay away from the 100 calorie packs of cookies and such as they have no nutrional value to me and they really just make me want more. They don't satiate my sweet tooth, they initiate it. LOL

    Good Luck! :glasses:

    I've just started my dieting plan. I eat 2 snacks daily. I really like low fat string cheese, apples w/1 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter, almonds, hard boiled egg. For my sweet tooth, I make ice cream sandwiches with 1 chocolate graham cracker broke in half w/light whip cream between and frozen. They're fantastic!!! Good luck.:flowerforyou:

    I don't usually eat snacks in between my meals. I feel better without the snacks. It's up to you to figure out how your body functions best. If you decide to eat snacks, keep them natural (fruit, veggies, yogurt, nuts) and not anything processed.
