So far I eat Smart Pop kettle corn to satisfy a need to move my hand to my mouth repeatedly. It makes me feel like I have really eaten a lot. But, I am afraid I will turn myself on it. Any other ideas for labor intensive low calorie snacks would be greatly appreciated.

    I used to love pop corn for that reason - lots of with low calorie. I have not had it in several months lol My fave snacks that are filling to me - not necessary keeping my hands busy all though eaten slow..it does work...Ostrim Snack sticks (60 cals) got them on drugstore.com - with 50 calorie cheese stick and Ritz mini crackers (100 cals)
    Also Townhouse reduced fat crackers (60 cal for 6 crackers and they are good sz crackers) I have 2 servings with a tbls or 2 (cal depending) of whipped peanut butter (140 cals for 2 tbls) Have also used PB2 instead

    Goldfish you could do - depending on flavor you get like 54 pieces per serving
    Low fat cheese (cut into pieces) with pickles and cottage cheese
    carrots & low cal dressing
    Special K chip crisps ( I only like the BBQ and even those I am not crazy about but they do lol)

    Honey Nut Cheerios.

    I like pickles but they are high in sodium., special k chips (you get a lot of them), celery with salsa, and my new fav is an herbal tea.. and gum and lots of water of course. sometimes I try so hard to get my water down I cant fit in extra junk unless its snack or meal time.

    oh yeah and fiber bars from either fiber one or kelloggs. I cut them in tiny pieces and put it on a plate so I can pretend its like eating tiny candy pieces. they are pretty good and filling too. but make sure you drink lots of water with them.

    I love popcorn but you are correct. You could get tired of the same snack if you eat it too much. Besides the snacks already listed, how about some no or low salt pretzel nibblers or bites?

    We bought some rice cakes a few weeks back that are chocolate and Carmel corn and I think Carmel apple and they are sooooooo good! Had to make my husband take them out of the house. But i think a package was 100 calories and I also got some white cheddar that are great.

    i'm trying to avoid carbs... it's harder than i thought.. i keep atkins bars (rare occassion), veggies cut up, canned tuna, boiled eggs, nonprocessed cheese, salad fixings, fresh spinach with sliced straberries, a few walnuts, top with raspberry vingerette dressing... i'm not sure if salad is on the "atkins plan" but i figure it's better than a bag of chips or a sleeve of crackers..
