    I like something salty & crunchy - Corn Nuts. Or Saltines. Sometimes just some baby carrots. I like Almonds, but don't like them plain - need to be roasted

    Oh I didn't think about hard boiled eggs! Those are YUMMY and pretty good for you! The only thing is that they are VERY high in cholesterol if you eat the yellow part. My doctor said you should not have more than 3 eggs per week or your cholesterol will go too high.

    Dr. Oz said you have to watch out with yogurts because a lot of the popular brands put high fructose corn syrup in them. I know yoplait puts it in theirs. I found that if you get the Kroger off-brand yogurt, it has less calories and no high fructose corn syrup. Oh yeah, and it's cheaper!

    I just had a deep chocolate vita top warmed with half cup of fat free breyers chocolate brownie ice cream-very delicious and satisfying for ice cream lovers like me :)
    During the day, I eat fruit-bananas, apples, etc-for a snack. Fage yogurt with Kashi crunch/fruit. Fiber one bars.

    Dried banana chips are my latest fav! Crunchy, sweet and 1/2 c is 160 cal. I just measure them into snack bags when I bring them home. Also not too bad if you have extra carbs are pretzel rods (they are less salty than the curly ones)

    I love to do that as well, but I struggle getting the shell off without taking off most of the white with it. Any suggestions?

    what is Greek yogurt?

    It is yogurt that is thicker than regular yogurt, and if you get the right brands, it has less sugar and more protein than regular yogurt. Check out Oikos and Chobani brands. There is another brand people rave about here, but I can't remember it...

    I love Blue Ginger rice chips with fresh salsa. Skinny cows are great too for the sweet tooth!

    I try not to eat too much during any one meal, so I have to snack throughout the day to get in enough calories.

    In the morning I usually have 1 oz of a roasted nut and some dried fruit. I have been eating alot of Apricots recently because they have a very high amount of potassium which helps balance out sodium.

    In the afternoon I have a Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedge (several different flavors available) with whole grain crackers, some baby carrots or celery, and some roasted vegetable chips from The Fresh Market (similar to Whole Foods).

    After I exercise I will usually eat some string cheese, yogurt, and/or drink a protein shake with some almond milk.

    I love blue diamond wasabi and soy almonds. Not low fat, but good fat.
    Beef jerky is low fat, high protein.
    I also like triscuits with cheese and hummus with pita.
    And oh yeah, if I'm at home. Grilled cheese sandwich on 35 calorie bread

    Nuts are NOT low fat.

    Fruit is always good. I love the single serve broccoli with cheese and cauliflower with cheese. 100 calorie packs.

    I like the 100 calorie snack bags, pretty much any one of them, lol. They have smart choice cheese popcorn, baked cheetos, sunchips etc. I like to just grab a bag quickly and know that its 100 cals!

    Also like the pringles whole wheat cheese stix, again convenience!

    When I'm craving something sweet I like the Bryers chocolate brownie 100 calorie ice cream containers!

    And yes of coarse the usual fruits and veggies!

    Recently discovered Wheat Thin sticks! Very nice but a bit high in sodium!

    I like honey wheat pretzels, puppadums and roasted almonds (all have quite a bit of fiber and the latter two are gluten free). I try to eat more fresh fruit than anything but I find myself looking for those savory and munchy snacks......

    Smart Pop 100 cal bags, its a ton of pop corn and its salty and buttery and yummy. Sometimes you just gotta have something to busy eat.
    And granola bars, kashi, natures valey, etc. So good!
    And Hard boiled eggs are awesome! I love the yolk or I'd eat more of them!

    You have to be careful with 100 calorie packs. Just because it's 100 calories doesn't mean its GOOD. They make twinkies in 100 calorie packs...umm..hello? lol

    I like almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc..though they aren't low fat..they do have good fats in them, still have to watch the fat though.

    I also like grape tomatoes, cucumbers, any crunchy veggies, grapes, apples (with or w/o PB), string cheese, celery and laughing cow cheese, rice chips (taste like fritos to me) with salsa

    I also LOVE Vitamuffins/vitatops! They are sooo delicious! All organic, very good for you. They satisfy that sweet tooth.

    P.S. No milk!
