    I have a small handful of flavored almonds almost every day between breakfast and lunch. I keep them at work with me. Emeral and Blue Diamond brands make all sorts of different flavors.... cocoa, cinnamon, smokehouse, buttered toffee, chili-lime, etc. They are filled with protein and fiber, so they fill you up a bit and give you lots of energy. And the flavors satisfy those 'cravings' for sweet or salty. They also help control cholesterol, which is a great bonus!

    I also have a glass of 1% milk between lunch and dinner. Again...protein for energy. Milk solids fill your tummy. And calcium and vitamin D, which I need. And dairy helps you process carbs better so they don't stick around in your body. (Sometimes I'll add Ovaltine to my milk, tee hee!).

    Dried fruit, pistachios, almonds, cashews, flapjacks work for me.

    1/4 cup of trail mix. My fave is almonds, peanuts, cashews, raisins, and M&Ms. Love the salty sweet flavors.

    For example I just ate a large banana sliced up into a bowl with Danone's raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and blueberry greek yogurt poured on top, added a tablespoon of honey for the added sweetness and 2 tablespoons of chopped up almonds sprinkled on top. Along with it I drank Lipton's Forest Fruit tea with a hint of low fat milk and brown sugar. It was so yummy and filling!
