    thanks for asking, it gave me some additional ideas for low cal snacks, though I did have to go cut up some celery and break out the peanut butter...

    I don't know if this is your idea of a snack, but when I really just feel like I want to eat tons of food, I make oatmeal!
    You can do a half cup of oats (150 cal) with 2 cups of water, some cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener. I bet ya won't be hungry after that! :]

    I thought when it came to apples yes they have calories but your body burns those off when its breaking it down. Does that make sense? Am I misinformed? Eek.

    Peanut butter and celery is my favourite! (gotta watch portion control with the PB but it is sooo filling anyway)
    And Yoghurt is another favourite of mine!

    Popcorn, celery or cucumber with salsa, almonds with a piece of fruit.

    Make sure you aren't going too low calorie, especially since you're trying to lose weight quickly.

    This might have already been mentioned, but I find snacks that include a carb and a protein tend to be more filling. If I just have an apple without a protein, then I tend to get hungry an hour later. My afternoon snack usually consists of either an apple or pear with some cottage cheese, or a piece of cheese or 15 grams of almond butter. Or carrot or celery sticks with 2 tablespoons of hummus. Sometimes if I'm really hungry I'll have crackers with the hummus instead of the veggies. I try to keep my afternoon snack around 150 calories, depending on when I plan on going to the gym.
