    LEAN SHAKES from GNC are good they even have sample packets for you to buy and try before committing to buyin the large containers- they are 180 calories loaded with protein and you can use them as meal replacements or as a snack if you like--

    Try eating a small bowl of oatmeal or boiled eggs (take out the yolk and put cheese then warm it up for about 2-3 seconds (my brother likes it :D) Granola bars are a good snack.

    For shakes, I bet that cookies and cream ice cream shake would be good even though it's horrible calorie wise... :)

    Veggie Pita Pocket

    1/2 weight watcher's pita bread
    stuff with your favorite veggies ( I use cucumber, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, and various peppers.)
    Goulden's spicy brown mustard

    This only has approx 130 calories total. You can add turkey or ham to this if you want a little extra protein and flavor! :smile:

    I make a big batch of the Mexican Hot Carrots that they serve in Mexican restaurants and munch on them all week

    Combine in a big pot:

    3# carrots
    6 seeded Jalapenos sliced the long way
    1 onion sliced about as thick as the carrots
    3 or 4 bay leaves
    1 C Vinegar (use the cheap white stuff)

    Add enough water just to cover.

    Bring to a rolling boil.
    Add 1t oregano and turn off heat. Leave covered and let it slowly cool. The longer you let it set the hotter it will be. I usually just leave it for 4 or 5 hours.

    Drain and pack in snack size baggies.

    Yum!
