    I snack on Kellogg's Special K cracker chips.. You'd have to test them though I love the sour cream and onion but the texture takes a bit to get used to.. 27 chips for 110 cal. Or you could try the Special K bars. Made for snacking :)

    Organic baby carrots (very low cal) and organic unsweetened applesauce (4oz container is 50 cals). Carrots give me the crunchy snack I crave, and the applesauce is a nice bit of sweetness. If I'm needing protein I add in 1oz of brown sugar steak jerky (70 cals).

    Here are 3 I have been using lately:

    Popcorn (Low fat butter and kettlecorn) in a single serve bag - works out to 100 calories.
    Celery with Laughing cow Light cheese
    low fat string cheese - Lucerne - 50 calories

    I usually eat a salad with lots of veggies and Bolthouse farms makes the BEST dressings. 45 calories for ranch and creamy dressings and like 30 for italian and such. They're fantastic.

    Carrots are great for me. I like them raw, roasted with a little olive oil or steamed with sea salt. They have a natural sweetness to them and eating them raw helps me when I am just boredom snacking. They can also be rather filling.

    Edamame is another one that's good. It's a super food so it is super packed with super nutrients, lots of protein to help you feel full longer and fairly low on calories.

    Peanut butter with fruit is great. I also made microwave potato chips a few times when I needed the salty crunchy craving satisfied. Google how to do it. It is surprisingly easy and really tasty.

    One of my favorite sweet treats snacks is fake ice cream. I peel, quarter and freeze bananas. After they are frozen solid, I blend the equivalent of one banana with a tablespoon of milk until it is thick and creamy just like ice cream. You can add a small chunk of chocolate to it for 'chocolate chip ice cream', a tsp of vanilla extract, a tbsp of peanut butter or honey or nutella just to change it up some. It's healthy, low in calories, and it tricks my toddler every time! Sprinkle granola over it or leave it plain. It's yummy!

    I love the jiffy pop healthy pop popcorn, or fresh cut fruit. Not too many calories however, very filling.

    Some of my favorite snacks have already been mentioned but here's a short list:

    Edamame
    String cheese
    Popcorn
    Nature valley thins (for the sweet tooth)
    Veggies (cooked broccoli/green beans)
    Raw veggies with low fat sour cream (2 TBS) and hidden valley fiesta ranch mix (watch sodium)
    Wasbi soy almonds
    Sunflower seeds
    hard boiled eggs
    celery with natural peanut butter

    If I am really starving I try to drink a lot of water before my snack. It really helps curb your appetite.

    a cup / 1/2 tin of a healthy option soup - filling and a good way to get the veggies in. usually around 100 cal.

    If you're looking for something sweet, I just tried the cool whip thing I got from here and man was it friggin good. I'm glad I didn't make a bunch.
    You take 4 graham cracker square, dollop a bit of lite or fat free cool whip in between to make 2 square sandwiches. wrap and freeze.

    so so so good!!! I'm going to try adding a few choc chips or strawberries next time.

    130 calories

    Cottage Cheese is a great snack as well. Loaded with amino acids that will help you preserve lean muscle along with that its a healthy fat that is loaded with times released protein; also perfect before bed!
