I'm trying to cut down on snacks generally, but if I do become tempted then I'd like to have a few options to choose from that aren't going to be completely detrimental.
I have a few that I've collected recently like sliced boiled eggs on ryvita, carrot sticks with low fat dips and frozen grapes.


Soooo, if anybody can give me some suggestions that'd be super amazing! :)


(And feel free to add me on here, I need all the motivation I can get!)

    Snacks keep you going, you need the energy! Fruit is always good, and try some nuts. I personally love veggies so I buy cauliflower and broccoli fresh and individually baggie them up for the week. I munch on those with some low fat ranch dressing!! :)

    Kale chips!
    I also like Pretzel Crisps. They aren't the best for you, but they aren't bad at all.

    Also nuts or trail mixes. I also like yogurt as a snack.

    Or try freezing bananas and then blending them (peel and all) and it makes ice cream!!

    You can make smoothies or protein shakes too.

    Raw almonds, 1/2 cup of dry low calorie cereal, half an apple and PB, toasted chick peas, protein bars, mini bags of popcorn, fruit and/or veggie kebabs, mini smoothies.

    You can pretty much snack on anything if you work it in. Have a small portion of anything you like. Just double check it before you eat it on how many calories it has and if it's going to make you over on anything. :smile:
