Special K 90 calorie bars in strawberry and blueberry. AMAZING!

pumpkin seeds (in shell makes you work for it, and takes longer to eat) - .25 cup = 96 cals
whey protein (1 scoop) differs by maker - 1 scoop = 120 cals
Fiber One bar - peanut & oats - 1 bar = 150
Grapefruit (.5 fruit) = 50 cals
Dry Roasted Edemame .25 cup = 130 cals

the last 3 have good fiber options. The first two have more protein

Mini soy crisps

(like rice cakes, but better!)- 18 crisps for 110 calories
*just a side note: i'm not a big soy person or a very adventurous eater, but i took a risk and tried these- they're AMAZING!!
Cut up apple w/ ground cinnamon on top- 80 calories
Jello sugar free cheesecake flavored pudding with raspberries in it- 80 calories for a quarter cup

From what I've learned, it's better not to eat carbs alone, but to combine them with a protein and a fat. Here are some of my snacks (sorry, I don't have the cal counts):

Hard-boiled egg
Apple w/ natural peanut butter
Almonds
Greek yogurt mixed w/ sugar-free preserves and slivered almonds
small low-carb tortilla and hummus
Laughing cow cheese and pita chips (pita chips w/ hummus is good too)
String cheese (low fat)
Air-popped popcorn

Hartleys low calorie jelly - all flavours are good - and less than 10 calories a pot. Yum!

If I have enough calories, I love Luna bars. The caramel nut brownie is awesome

I like the Fiber One Bars. They are very filling and suprisingly tasty too.

i'm a guy, i realize, so some of this you may not like, but some of my snacks include:

apples/celery with peanut butter
fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese
nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews)
lean beef jerky
protein shakes

no matter what all my meals and snacks contain a good amount of protein; i'm never hungry and i'm never "stuffed" -- but the snacks in the right portion are absolutely vital to my nutritional success

I have been eating baked sweet potatoes for a snack when I need some warm comfort food or something sweet.

SO EASY. You can get a whole bag of small sweet potatoes at Trader Joes for like $3.00. Poke it with a fork once or twice, and then microwave it for like 4 minutes. Then peel it and eat it. It's only like 70 calories and it's WARM and cozy and wondfully full of goodness and vitamins.
