I just went shopping tonight and sat down for an hour after to set up my "low cal" snack bin. I have a bin in the fridge now that consists of hummus, salsa, carrots, cheese sticks, and pretzels all measured out to the recommended serving size and ready for me to grab. I've always found one of my biggest problems with snacking is when I don't have options right in front of my face I scrounge the cupboards for something and end up with a bad choice. What are your favorite snacks/do you set up a snack bin?

    My favorite snack is popcorn butter flavor or kettle corn. My favorite summer time snacks are sugar free jello or any kind of freezer fruit bars.

    I love fat free, sugar free pudding and I like to add fruit and or graham crackers. It is really good and seems like it seems really rich eaten with the add ins. You could also add a crushed oreo instead of graham crackers. Enjoy.

    Really love real (not microwaved) popcorn, don't have it too often. Pretzels, popchips, raw almonds, raw veggies. I don't make a bunch of single serving bags but I always count out a serving rather than sitting with a entire bag/package of something...

    I don't do a snack bin, because I can't stay out of it once I get in it.

    Quakers Chocolate Rice Cakes with cool whip & fresh strawberries on top. Or, PB2 Powder & bananas on top. I also love Triscuits (low sodium kind) with a babybel wedge & some fresh grapes. Can't ever go wrong with a few almonds or brazil nuts here & there, either. (:

    I love Greek yogurt. It is so yummy! I also like Fiber One protein bars. They taste like candy. I also like sugar free pudding. Sometimes if I have a little extra calories to use I like t add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the chocolate pudding. It taste like a Reeses. I also snack on the 100 calorie almond packets. They are great to mix into things like oatmeal or yogurt.

    Almost always fruit with the occasional veggie. But then, that's what I eat at my meals, too. ;)

    I had a couple donuts today, and I don't even care.

    One of them was a bacon maple bar.

    The unhealthy snack choice is the Chicago Mix by Garretts Popcorn YUM! but almost 200 calories per handful & it's hard to eat just 1 handful...

    Healthy Naturebox.com snack treats have been working for me; they're not as low-cal as a handful of crunchy veggies but they're close; healthy, low-cal & very tasty.

    I don't really snack. I eat my meals, then I don't eat. I may plan a random treat for days IO have mega calorie burns, like a pint of ice cream, but that's not a snack, that's an experience. :love:

    Kitkat when I'm feeling deserving, but my usual go-to snack is banana with crunchy peanut butter. Yum!
