when you want a snack what do you eat?

Hi I was just wondering what everyone else snacks on? looking for some new suggestions? Also looking for friends to help me stay on track to loose weight and keep it off.

I try to look at where I am for the day. If it's the end of my eating and I need a bunch of cals I would eat some nuts. just 1/3 of a cup will bump me up almost 300 cals to get me there. Look if your snack need to help out your protein count. You can have an apple with peanut butter, nuts, trail mix, I buy Pepperride Cracker Chips, if your protein and cals are high enough you can have fruit or veggies too. I'll eat a small box of yogurt covered raisins if I am not too hungry but am just craving sweets. I eat frozen yogurt & barriers, or yogurt granola and berries stirred in a bowl. I also go to a protein bar or protein shake but that's not always for everyone. I mix all kids of different things in my protein shakes to make them tasty.

My go-to snacks are peanut butter, almond butter, pickle or string cheese. I am usually not hungry enough anymore to snack, but that is what I do.

If I can get jerky for really, really cheap, then I eat that.

Right now I'm snacking on raspberries. If I'm still a little hungry after that and it's not lunch time, I have some almonds I will snack on.
This afternoon I will be snacking on greek yogurt and turkey jerky. Possibly some raisins or a banana.

But my usual snacks are:

raisins
almonds
protein shake
raspberries, strawberries, or banana (depending on what I have)
turkey jerky
protein shake (I have 2 a day)
dried apricots (occasionally)

I usually have some Greek yogurt to get some protein in. I also really like vegetables with pita bread and hummus, dry cereal, baked chips, or very dark chocolate. I also have "junk" like cookies or ice cream every once in awhile-- especially if I've hit all my vitamin, fiber, and iron levels for the day.

Almond or coconut milk yogurt, any kind of fruit, pistachios or cashews, guac and veggies to dip in, protein shake, a muffin if I made some, jerky, hummus with veggies...I cycle through things as I get focused on using a few things per week usually depending on what I buy when grocery shopping. But these are what I snack on most.

I eat low carb so my go-to snacks are cheese, nuts/seeds or some protein (deli turkey, ham, etc.) Also, 1 TB of chia seeds mixed in a glass of water is filling and super healthy.
