What kind of snacks do you have on your eating plan?

Popcorn is a very low calorie snack that I love indulging in. If it's not heavily buttered I can easily have a couple cups of it for only around 50-60 calories.

Oh yeah I forgot about Popcorn, it is delicious and low cal. Plus filling!

My go-to treat is Skinny Pop black pepper popcorn. Non GMO, very lightly salted. Looks like you crave sweets. I crave crunchy/salty. This stuff makes me happy with no guilt.

I am also diabetic, but have been doing so well with it, I've dumped half my meds and shoot up only once per week. Since I am not "dieting" but rather changing eating habits I don't deprive myself. I've been craving cheesecake and last week got one (small, and frozen) and had a piece which is way over my sugar allowance, but I had the calories, and now I'm not craving it any more even knowing there are 5 more pieces in the freezer.I will get to them in my time and it may take a few months. I'm also very fond of chocolate and always have some around. Most often when I eat it, it's logged. But sometimes I will have 2 chocolate covered blue berries or pomegranate seeds and as long as it's only 2(for the day), I don't bother to log it. But because I had a wee bit, I don't go all hawg crazy at some point and down an entire Moser Roth bar. I'm also very good at allowing myself a serving of good sugary fruit, like strawberries, melon, or pineapple. Because of the diabetes I do try to limit it to one serving per day, or sometimes split it to 2, some for breakfast some for dessert. I'm also really good about keeping those 100 calorie snack packs of anything around, Yes I know I pay more, but I also don't over-indulge. Watching pounds roll off me is great incentive not to overdo, but I still eat the sweet sweet treats. Other than that, I have hummus daily with tomatoes, mushrooms or jicama, cheeses, and if I'm just not feeling full I will have a side salad at any ole time of day or night. Gotta put a word up for Trader Joes uber thin cookies. It's like 120 03 30 calories for 11 - 12 of them. They have triple ginger, lemon and toasted coconut 6 cookies with a cuppa is well under 100 calories and satisfies both sweet and crunchy cravings. Also big keepers are Greek yogurt and chia pudding. Om nom nom!

I too am diabetic, so I usually try to include some protein. Here are some I have frequently...

protein bar w/ at least 15g protein and < 20g carbs <200 calories - Quest bars are as high as I will go.
pistachios weighed out to 1 serving
dried edamame weighed out to 1 serving
1/2 c 2% cottage cheese + ~50 calories worth of fruit
protein shake
protein pudding
1/2 apple sliced w/ cinnamon sprinkled on top
ostrim ostrich/beef stick

However if I'm craving something specific, and it will fit in my macros for the day, it could be anything.

A little peanut butter, almond butter, or cream cheese on ritz crackers
Nuts - walnuts, almonds, pecans, dry roasted peanuts, pretty much whatever I have on hand.
Hard boiled eggs
Sunflower seeds
Dark chocolate anything
Greek yogurt with honey
Fruit, esp berries, appples, pears, or melon
Jello or pudding cups
Cinnamon applesauce
Cottage cheese and crackers
Hummus with pita or veggies
Fire Roasted Tomato Triscuits with Feta cheese and pepperoni
Fresh sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper

I don't snack NEARLY as much as I used to, and I think that's a very good thing. If I get hungry between meals, I typically have a Quest bar, Power Crunch bar, protein shake, milk (sometimes chocolate), or a Graze punnet (especially nuts/seeds, dried fruit, or their crazy awesome granola bar things). I like string cheese as a salty snack, or cheese and crackers sometimes with salami.

Almonds, apples, fiber one bars, carrots, greek yogurt, pop chips...nom nom nom

almonds, string cheese, eggs, veggie straws, greek yogurt with berries and honey and peanut butter. The occasional dark chocolate or spoon of Nutella.

Snacks are usually:

Baby carrots, Apple (with or without peanut butter depending on calories available), Strawberries, String Cheese, Roasted Almonds, Protein Shake.

If I'm indulging: Frozen yogurt bars, a few cookies, a piece of chocolate.

I like walnuts, almonds, dried apricots, apples, baby carrots, sliced cucumbers for snacks. I also love okra dill pickles, which are insanely low in calories.

After I buy strawberries I put them in the freezer, whole (don't wash until you take them out to use them). They're great in cold cereal, but sometimes I make a smoothie with 3-4 frozen strawberries, a small banana, vanilla extract, a little skim milk and some Splenda. It's a real treat. Fat-free, no-sugar yogurt is a good snack, too.
