    I really like plentil's they are a lentil chip and a single serving is 32 chips, only 130 calories plus they have some really good flavor choices

    I like to make a snack that takes a long time to eat! I'll freeze a flavored coffee in a paper cup - when frozen (or slushy is good too) put in a coffee cup with a little whip cream and eat with a spoon. Tasty treat with little calories!

    If you can find a way to balance it with other foods such that you hit yoru calorie/macro goals for the day, you can eat whatever you want.

    If you can't control yourself, then ice chips are about your only good option.

    Kale chips (just google for a recipe, there are lots of different flavours you could try) or cut up fruits & veggies.

    My favorite is to cut open and eat an entire pomegranate, one seed at a time. But they're not available all year (they keep months in the fridge, though).

    HOWEVER, that has been the biggest change I've made, giving up the need to be constantly moving food into my mouth, especially when I'm sitting at my desk. Putting a book or music in my Ipod then listening to it at work helps distract me (I do a lot of visual work so it's okay). Gotta stop that munching stuff.

    Vegetables. I made some garlic green beans with lemon for lunch using only 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, and they're so good and so filling that I feel like I'm cheating.

    I make Egg white and spinach scramble and eat it mid morning. 97 Calories and helps keep me happy until lunch and is super good for you! Otherwise, lots of veggies!

    frozen blueberries. They're frozen so you have to eat the more slowly, and it takes a lot of blueberries before the calories start to add up. They're like little frozen sweets

    yes I eat them frozen straight out of the freezer.

    The people in my office are always eating popcorn in the afternoon when they get hungry. Im not a fan but I can see the benefits. Personally I like sugar free candies or beef jerky.

    Sometimes chewing a piece of gum helps. Works for me some days when I think I need to eat more.

    I know there is alot of controversy about artificial sweeteners, but I love to drink flavored teas with artificial sweeteners right now I am using a generic splenda but after that I want to try Truvia. It helps me feel fuller, and makes you feel satisifed like you ate something but 0 calories. I do have to watch the caffeine though and get drink caffeine free in the evenings. My favorite so far is peppermint tea. I use one tablespoon of sweetener to one regular sized coffee cup.

    Pickles. Even though they aren't really 0 calories when you eat the whole jar, they are a very low calorie snack if you get carried away.

    Be mindful they are loaded with sodium if you buy in store. It is very easy to make homeade ones that are way lower in sodium and they stay good forever!

    ^^^^^THIS IS EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW

    You can eat pretty much whatever you want that is NOT PROCESSED, but it all depends on how much you are willing to workout. You earn calories thru your burn. Burn to earn. I am putting that on a TShirt, so don't steal it! LOL

    This has been my biggest problem and the hardest to break. I am used to "grazing" all day long when I'm at work, and it's been hard making that change. I still think about snacking even when I'm not hungry. But this program is about changing our behaviors, and I don't know about you, but if I keep looking for things to snack on I'll eventually get bored with it (no matter what it is), and go back to snacking on the things that got me here in the first place. So I'm working on a few small healthier snacks to get me through the day, but avoiding eating out of habit or boredom. It may be hard, but it is not impossible. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels! Find another distraction....music, exercise, whatever gets you through the day. Best of luck....you can DO THIS!

    Why, what's wrong with processed foods?

    Oh you made me think of fresh, sweet, raw green string beans! I substitute them for chips and fries but they are a wonderful cheap snack!

    Raw veggies. Too much fruit = too much sugar. Try making a HUGE salad using lettuce that is cut up small, add chopped raw veggies and maybe a chopped apple or a small handful of raisins. Splash with olive oil (measure), lemon juice, vinegar, and eat slowly, chewing everything completely. The calorie count is low for the amount of food you'll be eating, and by the time you are done, if you chew completely and eat slowly, you will feel full and you're jaw will need a rest! LOL- Good luck (I have the same issue) and I'd love it f the answer was chocolate covered pretzels!
