Snack Attack

One thing I have struggled with is snacking. I have a desk job so when I snack, I SNACK. I could eat an entire bag of anything that is put in front of me!!
Knowing this, I try to fill my "goodie drawer" with healthy snacks that I can eat a lot of and not feel guilty about
1. Veggies and hummus-Not a lot of calories, but lots of health benefits!
2. Almonds- I try not to eat too many of these but Almonds are still pretty good for you
3. GUM-This saves my life! I think I'm addicted to "chewing" not eating hahaha...When I chew gum (5 calories) I feel satisfied and don't have the urge to eat. It also helps to chew gum in fun flavors-chocolate chip ice cream, orange creamsicle, cinnamon or even just plain mint!
4. Berries-raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc. I love em all!
5. Popcorn-I'm not sure that this is GOOD for you...but I have "light" popcorn that I love to snack on, I can fill up on it without feeling bloated or guilty.
What are your favorite snacks?

Rinn, please don't put veggies in your drawer!
Just kidding. I keep a ton of bottled water at my desk with different no-cal flavor packets. If I'm drinking water all day, it makes me a lot less snacky.
In the snack dept, I work from home so my snacking can get INTENSE without those helpful judging eyes you'd find at an office.
I keep fruit in a bowl on my desk with a bag of pecans in the drawer.0 -

Rice cakes, peanut butter and bananas, grapes, string cheese, and I agree gum is a life saver!! ! I too love to bake and found a great website so I can continue baking the foods I love, but the healthy way! It is called skinnytaste.com It is amazing!!

I want chocolate chip ice cream gum!!!!!
I used to chew gum a lot in college, helped a lot with my snacking, I think I should take it back up, now I just try and resist. I'm happy to say that I very rarely snack! I mean hardly ever. I had a snack section put into my diary because I was attrocious! Now I rarely put anything in there. But I'm tempted all the time. I constantly have the urge to snack!0 -
Gum is always in my desk drawer. I also keep a little baggie of cheerios in my drawer when I want something a little crunchy.0

Yes I love it!0 -
That Chocolate Chip Ice Cream gum is made by EXTRA found it in line at the grocery store.
Instead of picking up a package of Reese's cups (WHICH I AM TOTALLY ADDICTED TO!!!) I grabbed gum instead.0 -

BAHAHAHAHA :laugh:
Gee, why not?0 -
When I get the munchies, I enjoy a cheese stick with a few slices of the the deli thin lunch meat wrapped around it. Every now and then I also like to juice some fresh fruit or have a few almonds. I think I might try the gum, though.
My downfall: I can't have sweets in the house because I have no moderation skills when it comes to desserts.0
