    I snack on Cracottes or Rice Cakes (you can get rice cakes with caramel and other flavours)
    Special K Mini breaks are just delicious too!

    I've been on a huge cauliflower kick lately - 1 cup of cauliflower with 1TB of light ranch dressing. helps me to get in a veggie too.
    sugar free jello with 2 tb free cool whip (no nutrional value though, lol - hey we can't be good ALL the time)
    apple with fat free caramel (or none)

    You can eat pretty much any snack, you just have to limit how much of it you eat. I will eat a serving of goldfish which is 140 calories for a mid morning or afternoon snack. Try soy beans. They are high in fiber and protein, but do have more calories than I'd like. Another suggestion would be tomatoes since they are a low calorie food. You could put just a smidge of salt if you have to have the salt. Try your grapes or yogurt frozen. I snack on granola bars or even eat them for breakfast (usually two :) ). Another idea would be to look at the fiber content of your foods. Fiber will keep you fuller longer.

    I cut up a cup of strawberries and sprinkle a packet of spenda on top for a sweet snack, goldfish crackers, graham crackers and skim milk. If you like yogurt and fruit you could do a smoothie - very yummy! I'll also do half an english muffin or half an arnold whole grain deli roll with peanut butter when I want something more substantial.

    I love taking wheat crackers and spread them with neufetchal(?) cheese then take a small piece of mostly thawed mango. It is crunchy, sweet, creamy, and cold all at the same time. Spicy hummus and veggies are awesome too.

    The new Nature's Valley Granola Thins (Dark Chocolate to satisfy that chocolate craving or Peanut Butter) help me with the snacking urge. I drink a 16 oz bottle of water & one of these to quench hunger pains... Lite peaches (in pear juice) are good too (add a teaspon of natural peanut butter, you'll be totally surprised how well those 2 go together!)

    Hope this helps.
