when you want a snack what do you eat?

I try to look at where I am for the day. If it's the end of my eating and I need a bunch of cals I would eat some nuts. just 1/3 of a cup will bump me up almost 300 cals to get me there. Look if your snack need to help out your protein count. You can have an apple with peanut butter, nuts, trail mix, I buy Pepperride Cracker Chips, if your protein and cals are high enough you can have fruit or veggies too. I'll eat a small box of yogurt covered raisins if I am not too hungry but am just craving sweets. I eat frozen yogurt & barriers, or yogurt granola and berries stirred in a bowl. I also go to a protein bar or protein shake but that's not always for everyone. I mix all kids of different things in my protein shakes to make them tasty.

My go to snacks are one of the following:

Fiber One bar
string cheese or low fat colby jack cheese
apple
grapes
celery with hummus

it depends what I'm craving..
I usually go for:
apple,
a slice of toast with peanut butter or jam,
banana,
oatmeal

Lunch meat
String cheese
Fruit - apples, bananas, grapes, berries, etc
Toast with 1T of PB
Greek yogurt
Ice cream
Cereal
Pop Tarts
Cookies
Cottage cheese
Hummus with crackers
Nuts - almonds, pistachios, peanuts, etc.
Protein shakes

I usually have some Greek yogurt to get some protein in. I also really like vegetables with pita bread and hummus, dry cereal, baked chips, or very dark chocolate. I also have "junk" like cookies or ice cream every once in awhile-- especially if I've hit all my vitamin, fiber, and iron levels for the day.

Fiber One
Fruits
cheese
hummus and crackers
yogurt
almonds
:drinker:

mini bell peppers and hummus are my favorite

My snacks are usually along the lines of -

Fruit -Strawberries & blueberries, clementines, apples
Baby carrots, sugar snap peas, & cherry tomatoes with light ranch dip ( like a dab of it on each veggie)
Fiber One 90 calorie bars (or a regular one if hubby bought the wrong ones, or I know I will not be eating for awhile or will having a light lunch)
Granola bars, Special k 90 cal bars
Trail Mix
Hummus with Pita bread (Joseph's mini ones are low in cal and are a good snack size)
Apple slices with whipped peanut butter
Crackers with sliced cheese and turkey pepperoni
Quaker Rice Cakes (the flavored ones sold near the potatoe chips)
Wheat thins and cream cheese
100 cal Greek yogurt
String cheese
1 piece of Cinnamon Raisin Swirl bread is 80 cal!
Small pieces of dark chocolate accompany my lunch just about every day (Dove Promises are like 45cal each piece, so I have one to satisfy that craving....I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate!)

I eat low carb so my go-to snacks are cheese, nuts/seeds or some protein (deli turkey, ham, etc.) Also, 1 TB of chia seeds mixed in a glass of water is filling and super healthy.

Depends on how I'm doing elsewise for the day: how much I've eaten, how active I've been. Could be peanut butter (off a measuring spoon because I like just peanut butter) or could be broccoli.
