    Cheese stick
    Fage Greek Yogurt 0% with fruit cup
    Popcorn
    anything 100 calories and low sugar/low sodium I can scrounge really. Fresh veggies, fresh fruits work great with peanutbutter.

    Or if you got a ranch craving, taking plain greek yogurt and mixing in a small amount of ranch packets to add flavor, bam, dip a carrot or some broccoli. Heaven.

    Thank you everyone. You all really got me thinking about what I can do. Yesterday I had an apple and a cheese stick as a snack, but I still wanted the pretzels, dang it! Well, I sent the remainder dang pretzels to work with hubby today so no more temptation... I've got a protein bar with me today and we have dinner planned out (chicken and some steamed veggies), so today should be much better! ;)

    Thanks again!

    Beef Jerky if sodium isn't a concern. Tastes great and the protein in it keeps you full until dinner.

    I had the same problem, but now I eat when I'm hungry, and save calories at other times of the day when I'm less hungry.

    I know I'm going to be starving at dinnertime, no matter what I've eaten throughout the day. So now I go really easy on the first half of the day, when I'm not as hungry so it's easier to eat less, than I can really enjoy eating my calories at dinner, when I know I'm going to be hungry and restricting calories will be more of a challenge.
