    I thought when it came to apples yes they have calories but your body burns those off when its breaking it down. Does that make sense? Am I misinformed? Eek.

    Peanut butter and celery is my favourite! (gotta watch portion control with the PB but it is sooo filling anyway)
    And Yoghurt is another favourite of mine!

    Popcorn, celery or cucumber with salsa, almonds with a piece of fruit.

    Make sure you aren't going too low calorie, especially since you're trying to lose weight quickly.

    This might have already been mentioned, but I find snacks that include a carb and a protein tend to be more filling. If I just have an apple without a protein, then I tend to get hungry an hour later. My afternoon snack usually consists of either an apple or pear with some cottage cheese, or a piece of cheese or 15 grams of almond butter. Or carrot or celery sticks with 2 tablespoons of hummus. Sometimes if I'm really hungry I'll have crackers with the hummus instead of the veggies. I try to keep my afternoon snack around 150 calories, depending on when I plan on going to the gym.

    I agree with the vitatop muffin tops!!! 100 calories, filling, plus help if you are craving cake or muffins!! they actually do taste great! I like the chocolate ones or banana chocolate chip ones best. I get them at target for $4 a box sometimes they are on sale for 3.50. they are also a good size for 100 cals!

    Almonds are filling; just measure/count them to make sure you don't overdo it. If you like protein bars, Clif makes a snack size that's 10g protein and less than 150 calories. Greek yogurt. Smartfood Delight popcorn (or other light/airpopped popcorn).
