Snacks??

Raspberries, carrots, grapes, radishes - these are my go-to at-work snacks. Simple Truth Popped Parmesan chips are a good chip one (heck, if I screw up and nosh the whole bag it's still under 400 calories - more than desired but not crippling like regular chips).

Pumpkin seeds and soy nuts also - but measure those out, a little goes a long ways

Make homemade zucchini chips and add salt when you have a potato chip craving. That alone will save you a lot of calories. Your average potato chips have at least 150 calories per just 12 chips. That's not a big serving, and it's easy to eat a lot more than that. If you MUST have some, put a handful or a serving size (about 12) into a small bag and snack on that. That way you won't quit reaching into the serving bag for more. Also, don't buy sweets and potato chips from the supermarket so you won't be tempted around the house.

Here are some other snacks that are low calorie (some are sweet, too!)

-Berries. They're so low in calories you can have a large amount and hardly go over 100 calories.
-Baby carrots with low-fat ranch dressing (5 calories per baby carrot, but you have to factor in the ranch, too...just don't smother the carrots in ranch and you should be fine)
-Grape or cherry tomatoes (About 3 calories per tomato). These are good with ranch too or a little bit of salt, which adds no calories
-Cucumber slices. (An entire medium cucumber has only 20 calories!)
-Grapes (3 calories each) They're almost like candy when frozen!
-Hard-boiled egg (90 calories in a large one and you'll get in extra protein!)
-Apples. They're an ideal 100 calorie snack because they're packed with nutrition!
-Mango (130 calories in 1 whole fruit) or pineapple slices (30 calories per medium sized spear)
-Air-popped popcorn topped with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cooking spray to stick (its much lower calorie than regular oil). Air-popped popcorn by itself has only 30 calories per cup by itself, and the cinnamon, vanilla and spray won't add much. Also, I really recommend Popcornopolis Nearly Naked popcorn. It's got just the right amount of coconut oil and salt and it's very low in calories.

If you like sweets, then you should try snacking on some fruits instead of crackers and junk food. Oranges, berries, bananas, apples, kiwis, grapes, etc. You can eat a ton of fruit and still not have eaten that many calories. You'll get full before you do too much damage in most cases.

Greek yogurt is good and filling too. I like nuts as well but they're kind of high calorie so you have to limit the serving size to a smaller portion.

I like boom-chicka-pop popcorn, its really good and only 35 cals/cup. It comes in sea salt and lightly sweet (more like a kettle corn). Both are delicious. I also like sugar free jello, only about 10 calories, although its a little less filling.

I bought a pineapple last week and have been waiting for it to reach the peak of ripeness, and it's finally ready. That's going to be my "watchin' TV and stuffing my face" snack tonight. Last night it was grapes. The night before that it was Pepperidge Farm cookies (no one's perfect ).

I found out you can make sugar-free Jell-O with club soda and it makes a fizzy kind of gelatin....and it's pretty low in calories.

Also a big fan of apples with Jif Fluffy peanut butter and Activia low-fat vanilla yogurt.

Hi
You're not on your own, most of us do struggle with snacking. I have recently been researching all about information and going to my new favorite healthy food store, where they sell all type's of healthy foods and I discovered these snacks , which are ammaaazzzing, I have tried all the 3 flavors and trust me they're nutrition facts are just ideal and the good thing is that they're taste is soo good
The Brand is called "Nairn's".
I tried the 'Oat biscuits' the flavours are, Mixed berries, Stem ginger and 'fruit and spice'. I bought the one's which were packed in 4's. but once I opened one of the packet of 4 I got to eat the whole lot, so then I found out that there are the packet's in two's and surprisingly I found myself controling myself from snacking more, so now after a few days, I have learnt that the best thing is, to when it comes to time for a snack take the 2 biscuits from the packet (make sure they are packet's in 2's as ofcourse if you open the 4's in 1 packet, automatically psychologically you won't stand not eating until you would have eaten the whole 4 buscuits.) anyway after I eat both after I make a milkshake (basically I do a really bit of chocolate milkshake flavour and fill my glass with milk) and drink it. Milk sometimes tends to make us feel a bit whoozy on our stomach. I am doing this as part of my daily routine and always list down what you eat, because when I wasn't doing that I just started snacking and eating whatever I found.

Also try and do the whole every 3 hr snack/food thing, or at least start with 1 and a half hours and build on it.

Good Luck!! xxxx

If you know you're going to snack, why not eat less at meal times to compensate? A lot of times, snacking happens whether you're hungry or not, so just work it into your calorie goals.

If you need a chocolate fix special k has one called pastry crisps (I like the chocolate delight flavor) it is two good size crisps for 100 calories. Also dannon oikos has a greek cucumber dill dip for 25 calories a serving that you can dip veggies in.

Emerald brand makes 100 calorie packets of either all almonds or almonds and walnuts.

Try the cocoa roast almonds....OMG. amazing!!

If you want a treat then have the real thing BUT just get one serving of something your really, really like. Ignore the family block of generic dairy milk and get the small bar of the good stuff. I like fererro and lindt. Not sure if you have those in the US but they're good. Buy a small packet of the best crisps in your favorite flavor. If there is more than one serve in the packet find someone to split them with, feed the pigeons if you can't!

If you just want to mindlessly nom on something raw veggies and fruit are your best option. Carrots, Cabbage(like coleslaw but without the dressing), celery, tomatoes, cucumber. Roast up some green beans until they are caramelized and add some salt. You can also get something called lupini beans in brine, they are salty like chips but are pretty low cal.

Sweeter fruit can be tricky. Dried fruit is actually pretty high calorie. I like to eat an apple with a pairing knife and just whittle little slices off it while I watch a show. It keeps my hands busy and draws out the snack for longer.

Add some protein to your snack! It will fill you up and keep it that way. Hummus is good with veggies, fry up some haloumi or eat a boiled egg with some salt.

6) 1-2 TBSP of fresh guacamole with 4-6 tortilla chips is one of my fave snack time splurges

I wish I could just eat a tablespoon of guac and a half dozen chips!

Carrot sticks and hummus.

All the way, every day.
