What is your favorite snack?

I usually only snack on fruits and veggies, so I'm not much help.

Kale chips are pretty amazing if you've ever had them.
(:

hummus spooned inside those little mini bell peppers... YUM!

For portion control, I make cheese dip with one slice (one ounce) white American cheese, 2 TBS skim milk and 2 tsp of pickled jalapeno juice. Put that in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds: stir then microwave 30 more seconds. In the meantime, spray 2 corn tortillas with butter flavored non stick cooking spray sprinkle with salt. cut each into 4-6 triangles, and bake for 5-8 minutes to make low calorie tortilla chips. This snack is so satisfying. It is portion controlled, but still indulgent.

For a sweet snack (this sounds terrible, but don't knock it till you try it once.)
Stir 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 mashed banana and 1 tsp peanut butter together until the banana and peanut butter is well blended with the cottage cheese. Now, I don't particularly like bananas or cottage cheese, but this snack is delicious!!

ice cream or cookies. not a lot, just 200-300 kcal a day.

cucumbersss!!

I like to eat sticks of butter and bacon. Just kidding. If I'm in the mood for healthy, my favorite snack is grapes and low-fat string cheese. The light Laughing Cow cheese is awesome too. It's good on celery or english muffins.

@Natasha... :bigsmile: if it fits your macros huh lol

nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc)

dried apple or prunes

greek yogurt with a little bit of honey and pumpkin seeds or nuts

Special K butter flavor popcorn chips!

OK, I guess it depends upon how much your allowable caloric intake is but I like the Sweet and Salty bars.. 160-170 cal vs 250-280 for a candy bar. Protein bars provide 20 gr. protein for 200 calories... Raymundo jello cups are 25 cal. Fruit can be a good choice. Also I like the Antioxident Fiber bars that provide up to 35% fiber needs for 120-150 cal. In short, I try to make my snacks provide a nutritional need as well. The problem I had when I was 344 lbs+ was a lot of empty calories... Now, I do eat quite a few snack type items BUT try to ensure they also meet some nutritional values as well.... Maybe not the BEST choice but certainly a better one than engorging myself with hudreds of calories for no nutritional return.

I have just discovered the filling effects of a nice cup of coffee with milk. It's under 50 calories for two cups and fills my tummy for a long time. I'm concerned with becoming caffeine dependent, but I'm so bad at mindless snacking that it'll be worth it!

Oh, also I've also fallen in love with a serving of prunes with a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips. It feels really rich and naughty, but it's a better calorie count than a candy bar.

I usually snack on fruti, veggies, and nuts during the day. I have also been having Triscuits sometimes. They only have 3 ingredients, are delicious, and relatively low calorie.

Greek yogurt, tuna, almonds, cashews, leftover beef or chicken breast, piece of fruit, a couple of egg whites quickly scrambled.
If you are close to your calorie goal for the day but still hungry try this: Half of can tuna(in water), mixed with a spoonfull of greek yogurt, pepper and whatever spices you like. I use a dash of tabasco sauce too. Eat it on a piece of full grain toast or a couple crackers. It's pretty yummy.
