    1/2 cup Chobani Vanilla Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 banana, 1 - 2 tsp Splenda. You might not need the Splenda but I like the little extra sweetness. It is very nummy!

    Melba rounds and a wedge of laughing cow cheese - 95 calories, lately I have fallen in love with my sweet little gems - prunes! 4 of them is 100 calories and they are sweet and delish! It feels like I'm having a desert. They're loaded with antioxidents, potassium, fiber and they have zero fat. They call it a superfruit! I also like to snack on a big salad of baby spinach, grapes or sliced strawberries, a little fat free feta and some light rasberry viniagret. 3 whole cups of spinache only has 40 calories so you can have a BIG salad to fill you up for very few calories.

    mmmmmm lots of people say eggs is there such a thing as too many eggs?

    I've read multiple times that one should stick to eating no more than 6 whole eggs per week, but there are a lot of people who eat eggs on a daily basis and have had no cholesterol issues whatsoever.

    ok so maybe ask my doc because I have high blood pressure

    what nuts are best?

    Unsalted almonds are best :) and my PT said there isn't a limit to eggs but you can always have a full egg and then just eggs whites.

    You need a good food processor (at least from my experience).

    great ideas, everyone!
    fresh apricots are only 17 calories
    i also try to fill up with coffee (iced in the summer, decaf during the day)
    recently discovered trader joes's quinoa chips; pair them with their medditerranean hummus
    trader joes fresh mozzarella sticks are yummy
    almond butter is good, or 6-10 unsalted almonds

    oh, and hummus is made of chick peas, lemon juice, garlic and a little bit of sesame paste (aka tahini) in the blender.

    In this kind of weather I like Popsicle brand no sugar added Fudgsicles at 40 calories a pop. I also snack on fruit, cheese, Greek yogurt, strips of grilled chicken breasts, and peanut butter fairly regularly. The pb is good microwaved and used as a dip for the fruit. The Greek yogurt can be thickened almost to a cheesecake like texture with a little sugar free instant pudding mix.

    Chex Mix Chocolate Chunk Bar - It's not 'healthy' but it's only 120 calories/bar so it's great when I'm craving a chocolate fix.
