    I have a weakness for spicy food. One thing I like to do is buy a can of garbanzo beans, rinse them and let them dry out a little. Spread them on a baking sheet, spray with a non-fat cooking spray and season the heck out of them (salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne, garlic...whatever sounds good to you). Then, bake them on a low heat (maybe 250) for a while...start with 20 minutes and play with the texture. It's definitely not a chip or my other bad favorite snacks, but it's low calorie and you get some nutritional value out of them.

    My favorite is non-fat plain greek yogurt,a pinch or two of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder, some Splenda to taste and sometimes some chopped almonds. Easy to make and it hits protein, dairy, and any chocolate/ sweet craving you might have. Good luck and welcome to MFP!
