Heyas!

Love that celery sticks and carrots are easy, lo-cal snacks but need some other ideas. What else do you like to snack on to take the hunger edge off?

    Why not just add some protein in there to help curb the hunger? You could dip your celery in peanut butter or dip your carrots in some hummus? Or you could have a cheesestick along with the veggies or a hard-boiled egg? I think if you're just eating plain veggies as a snack without combining it with some type of protein, you'll definitely be hungry sooner than later.

    Fruit with peanut butter is my favorite snack. Low calorie, and the peanut butter holds off the hunger.

    oh yeah one more great snack, low calorie, high protein. Tuna. I like the starkist in the pouch, low sodium. 70 calories and 17g of protein. They have flavored ones as well, but it's easy enough to add your own.

    I like a frigo low fat cheese string (50 calories 7g of protein) and a pouch for a snack. both keep well and take up no room.

    The 100 calorie packs are good but if you are really hungry nothing beats and apple or a Fiber One bar. My fav is the peanut butter one.... it holds you till the next meal....

    I agree with the above posters, especially about peanut butter! I snack on fruits, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, wheat sandwich thins with either peanut/almond butter or a wedge of laughing cow cheese, single serve bag of popcorn, almonds, and the fiber one bars are delish!

    I :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: hummus smeared on a slice of cucumber. I make my own, so I add a LOT more zip than what you buy in the store (hummus can be quite bland unless you really zazz it up), and 2 tbl is approx 70 calories. Smear it on cukes and off you go!

    Baked Kale Chips, skip tossing them in olive oil (use a small amount of cooking spray) and you have a very low calorie/ high volume snack.

    Heyas!

    Any kind of melon, berries, apple, cucumber. Sometimes I chop up those items and mix with sugar free pudding to make a low cal fruit salad.

    tomatoes and cucumber with apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar, or red wine vinegar, and some herbs.

    PB2 (peanut butter powder with most of the oil removed) mixed with stevia in the raw, and greek yogurt and/or cottage cheese.

    A string cheese stick.

    greek yogurt with vanilla stevia

    sugar free jello pudding mix

    air popped pop corn
