    The new multigrain Cheerios that are lightly sweetened are awesome. They taste way better than the old plain, dry multigrain cheerios, and you can eat a full cup of them and it's only 110 calories!
    I also eat a lot of fruit, so that is usually my snacks.. kiwis, bananas, apples, grapes, cherries, etc

    Oh my goodness I just bought one of the Sunrype Fruit Strips (strawberry) and it's DELICIOUS. And 50 calories! Won't fill you up like crazy but it's decently sized, soo good, and really satisfied my craving for sour gummy worms!

    A couple of favorite snacks of mine are slicing up an apple or banana, sprinkling it with a small amount of sugar and cinnamon, and microwaving it for 20-30 seconds till tender. Top with fat free topping. Yum!

    I think the way to set urself for success with snacking is set out some of your favorite fruits and veggies first thing in the morning, then you can snack on them as the day goes on. U'll see them on the counter and grab them, rather than looking through the cupboards. :)

    If you're looking for something that might fill you up a tiny bit more, sunrype fruit source bars are the exact same just thicker. And they're soooo delicious. You can also get them 'plus veggie.' I usually grab one of those for my late night snack.

    The things I snack on most:
    Fruit
    Almonds (daily)
    other nuts, sometimes cashews or Brazil nuts
    Lately I've been eating a half cup of full fat plain yogurt with cinnamon and a half an apple diced and added (so good)... sometimes I put granola in it if calories allow
    I also make air popped pop corn with a dab of butter and sea salt, sometimes I put garlic powder and Parmesan instead.
    Fiber one 90 calorie bars in the A.M.

    The Bolthouse dressings in the produce area in fridge are real good. I use them as dressings (the raspberry or strawberry vinegrette's very sweet though) but the ranch is great for dipping veggies in if you like that. There's a salsa-type one too, though I haven't tried it. I haven't tried them with anything but vegetables, but the ranch is 40 cals/2 Tbsp..

    On a tastier front, puffy white cheddar puffs called Pirate Booty has one serving at 36 of them (blanking on the calories, but it was reasonable and I had been sure I was over my daily amount when I had them).

    Popcorn air popped or with a small amount of butter or some type of seasoning is good. The only other topping I've liked it with is garlic powder, though some like cinnamon or hot pepper seasonings.

    Aside of Atkin bars and nuts, I'm out of ideas! Sometimes just having something like a salad with some Feta and lots of vegetables on it with a low cal or not too high cal dressing will take the edge off wanting to munch as it's filling enough. I love salads with some apple, feta, and various veggies and poppy seed dressing. Even making some vegetables or eating some fruit can help.

    Nothing hits the spot on a hot day like having fruit salad on hand. You can add various fruits, some lemon juice to prevent browning, then have a bowl when you feel like it. I think it's Land o Lakes that has a spray whip cream that's 15-40 cals a serving, so total it won't be too high. Sugars are a different story, but I'm a but as long as you don't eat all of it, you're ok!

    Low-sugar KIND bars. Two hundred calories but they satisfy my sweet tooth and keep me from far worse choices.
    They're nuts, chia seeds, honey, and something else (e.g., dark chocolate, madagascar vanilla, maple glaze, ginger, chili). Only 4 or 5 g of sugar.
    Also an apple with a cup of Trader Joe's Rooibos Ruby Chai tea (no caffeine).
