okay, this will sound really strange, but it works for me. In the baby food aisle, I found flavored puffs... the finger food that is generally one of baby's first intros to solids... looks like cereal puffs. There are 25 calories per 1/2 c serving.... and about 5 servings per container... that means if I really wanted to, I could eat the whole container for only 125 calories. The puffs come in both fruit and vegie flavors... haven't ventured into the vegie flavor yet, but really like the banana flavored. Plus this "snack" has vitamin packed....
on a side note... also saw toddler servings of mac/cheese in small portions for like around 125 cal or so a serving... am tempted to try it to quench my random pasta craving...0 -
Carrots
Plain nonfat Greek yogurt (with or without fruit)
It's the only low cal snacks that really sorta fill me up.0 -
Really??????? That is awesome! Never thought about this.....Do you remember the name of them?0

So in the produce section I found these "Dipperz Crunpaks" Apples with Carmel dip or chocolate dip....the chocolate one is 70 calories and fill sme up when I need that afternoon snack til dinner....0

They change a lot cuz I tend to get bored! But usually cheese in incorporated cuz it's extra fat and protein to keep me satiated!!!0 -
Fruit if I need sugar. Boiled eggs if I need protein.0

They're made by Gerber and come in a plastic cylinder type container - I think other brands make them too, but my kids (long ago) and my neices (now) eat the Gerber ones...0 -
fiber one 90 cal brownies are good (but not too filling), almonds, also i like carb smart tortillas (80 cal 9g carbs) with meatless meatballs and a 1/8 cup of pasta sauce (very filling for 240 calories). There are low calorie cape cod potato puffed chips (bbq and ranch at 110 calories/ serving)...i get those at job lot for 2 bucks a bag and each bag has four servings0
