    Air popped pop corn with some drizzled melted butter! 1.5 C of the popcorn is only 80 cal, then I add butter to taste/calories. I'll add salt if the butter is unsalted. I had that tonight for a total of 200 calories and it was very satisfying.

    Sometimes I'll do jello with some cool whip - not very healthy, but it feels like a treat.

    I also keep low-fat ice cream in the freezer that is 110 calories per cup, and a cup of ice cream feels so rich. I have to remind myself that after the 3rd bite, it will taste all the same to my taste buds, so less is actually more in taste.

    I used to totally ruin my days with lots of chocolate prior to bed. I like to end the night on a sweet note!

    rice cake and peanut butter...i havent tried the pb2 yet, but i believe there are 45 calories in 2 tbsp. for an apple cinnamon rice cake it's 50 calories.

    Sometimes if I'm actually hungry I'll have a protein bar or greek yogurt (if I need help reaching my protein gram goal). If I just want something sweet, I'll have some Sugar Cookie tea or sugar free hot chocolate and a cookie or two. Or frozen yogurt, if I'm not freezing cold. (I get cold a lot now without all that fat to insulate me.)

    It really depends on how many calories I have left for the day and whether or not I've eaten enough protein already.
