I don't like most vegetable (especially juicier ones like tomato and squash). I LOVE sweet food. I definitely have a major sweet tooth.
Recently I've snacked a ton on bananas, Greek yogurt and low-fat string cheese.
Do you have any other ideas?
Edit: Also, is there a way I increase protein without increasing fat?

    I just had some Applegate uncured pepperoni and 1 oz. of Cabot Hot Habanero Cheddar cheese for a snack and it was delicious!

    Cheese and crackers, cottage cheese with fruit, just about anything if you count calories.

    Protein bar. Cinnamon roasted almonds. Sweet potato chips. Cottage cheese & pineapple. Baby carrots and either hummus or sunbutter.

    Reduced fat cottage cheese is high protein, low fat and a yummy snack by itself or with some fresh fruit or diced bell pepper. I also make my own hummus so I can control the amount of oil. I like bell pepper with hummus also.

    I'd be curious what vegetables you have tried and how have you tried them (i.e., cooked, raw, with butter, spices, roasted, etc.). I've met many people who's mothers only either fed them yukky canned mushy veggies their whole life, or barely steamed the veggies and just slapped a little butter and salt on them and this is why people "don't like veggies". And then I roast a bunch of vegetables which have been marinaded in lemon-infused olive oil and balsamic glaze and then sprinkled with herbs and a fancy spice blend and roasted, for example, and people go crazy for them. What have you been exposed to?
