Hello MFP Community,

I'm looking for some new snack ideas. I typically have two snacks at work - a protein with a fruit or veggie. I've been rotating cheese sticks, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and hummus and wheat crackers. It's been one month, 10 lbs, and a lack of variety. Would love to hear how you spice up the lunch bag!

    I like to cut up an apple and put cinnamon and no calorie sweetener on it and microwave it until they are soft.

    Morning tea usually consists of two boiled eggs (for my good fat intake - I'm allergic to nuts) and Afternoon tea usually consists of ryvita crispbreads (or other crackers) with low fat philadelphia cheese with a side of shrimps :smile:

    Cut a fairly ripe banana lengthwise and grill in a dry non-stick pan til nicely brown if you are craving sweet - really makes the natural sugars of the banana come to life and kills a sweet craving as it actually fills you up

    salsa is ridiculously low on calories and jazzes up vegie sticks or crackers. I also like taking different fruit or vegies to eat raw every day, and generally have a packet of processed snacks - i eat very little in the way of processed foods so i think i'm okay. currently I have 'ototto' which are japanese puffed potato snacks at 44 cal/packet, but often it's rice crackers or weight watchers chips, or cheese and cracker pre-assembled packs. if i'm home, fruju (nz fruit based popsicle style iceblock) or a yoghurt usually hits the spot. i'm fiending the peanut-butter-by-the-spoonful thing too - got the lowest cal one i could find because the stuffs like crack and i will happily fill in remaining calorie gaps with it!

    I also find chewing gum if i 'think' i might be hungry to work quite well too.

    If you like Yogurt, Key Lime Pie, and Cheesecake, I highly recommend Yoplait Greek 100 calorie Key Lime yogurt. ...

    My favorite snacks are: Hunt's chocolate pudding (sugar free) with a small banana = 132 calories
    or Dole diced peaches (no sugar added) mixed with 1/2 cup 1% small curd cottage cheese = 115 calories.
    Both of these snacks are very filling and taste great!
    Good luck.
