    I love roasted chick peas. Drain and rinse a can, drizzle with olive oil and seasonings of your choice and roast at 450 until crispy. So good!

    I am backing up the special k cracker chips! I buy reduced salt french onion soup mix and make a dip with a tbsp of that and a tbsp of light hellmans and light sour cream. Such a yummy snack.

    Thin sliced granny smith apple with salt. NOM! This has been one of my favorite snacks my entire life.

    Popcorn is always good, not the bagged kind, but air popped. Also, think portion control. A serving of Baked Kettle Chips is pretty low, like 140 cals, plus it help get over the craving.

    Salted almonds

    Personally I can eat chips with no issue of overeating them.

    Quakes... not sure what they're called now because they just changed their branding/packaging but they are basically like chips made out of rice cakes, made by Quaker. The cheddar and ranch flavors are my fave. It's only like 140 cals for 20 chips or something like that. So good!
    I also love soy-based chips, there are a few brands (Glennies are my fave but GenSoy are good too) and those taste a lot like Quakes, they have more calories per chip (but still less than real chips or even baked chips) and they also have protein- the BBQ flavored ones are really good.
    Otherwise, Popchips-- I love that the whole regular-sized bag is only 3 or 4 servings, so even if you go crazy and eat them all, it's not a *huge* deal because it's around 400 cals (obviously not ideal though).

    I LOVE the pretzel crisp parmesan garlic. I usually can only eat them on a bootcamp day because it's VERY hard to stay in the 1 serving range.

    If you want something homemade I mix a packet of ranch dressing mix, some oil and garlic powder to a bag of oyster crackers and bake it for a bit OMG so yummy. Or some crispy baked parmesan garlic edemame. Want sweet and crunchy, bake your own apple chips with some cinnamon.

    I discovered vegetables and low sodium soy sauce today! My carrots were major crunch factor and the soy was pretty yummy. Still loaded with salt, but MMMMMM.

    I second this one... I have to portion them out quickly or I'll eat the whole can!

    Roasted chickpeas
    Kale chips

    Both are easy to make yourself and you can flavour differently every time.

    As someone else mentioned, spicy salami/capicola ham/other thinly sliced round meat microwaved to a crisp, then add a dollop of herb garlic Laughing Cow Light cheese. So tasty and easy!

    I need to try those salt and vingegar chickpeas, as salt and vinegar is my absolute weakness in salty snacks.

    wasa crisp and light crackers (70 cals for 3 2x4 crackers) with whatever you like on top or just by themselves. They are good with laughing cow cheese, pb, hummus, sliced cheese or whatever else you would put on a cracker. You could probably spray them with spray oil and season them too.

    So many great ideas. Some I knew but lots that were new. Can't wait to try the Kale chips and the salt and vinegar chick peas.
    Many thanks
