Snacks - ideas please!

Hi there, Im new to this fitness pal forum, and Im wondering if there is a tab or something on the site with loads of snack ideas, that don't contain loads of calories? I can't seem to see a particular place to look for snack ideas...

    There isn't a designated snack place but this recipe forum is a great place to ask for ideas!
    Hummus and carrots
    Hummus or peanut butter on a popcorn or rice cake (measure that peanut butter! It adds up quick!)
    low fat string cheese
    any raw veggie with low fat sour cream dip
    Fruit
    60 calories pudding cups

    Just remember that too much of a good thing like fruit will add up quickly. It is very important to weigh and measure. You really ought to have a good digital scale. Mine was only ten bucks and it has been very helpful!

    Pico de Gallo (i.e. Salsa) is a nice, healthy summertime snack. Just be careful what you put it on. Here is a recipe I just posted to my blog. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/chefstew79/view/pico-de-gallo-i-e-salsa-559876

    My favorite snack is one graham cracker sheet with Justin's Maple Almond Butter and dried Bing Cherries from California.

    Also, hummus and random veggies are awesome!!

    The first snack usually works out to about 185 calories?? Depends on how much JMAB you put on there.
