Hello, I am fairly new to this, and I am looking for some good healthier snacks that actually taste good. Right now I seem to be staying under my daily calorie intake, but I want to find things that are healthier, instead of just smaller portions of crap. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Special K crackers are good. A serving size is 17 crackers and only 90 cals. For a sweet snack try Jello Temptations. They are amazing. Pickles are good, except for the sodium. Grapes. bananas. veggies. Hope some of this helps. Good luck!!0

Fresh cut veggies or fruits are always a good way to go. There are a lot of snacks out there that come in 100 calorie packs...some of them aren't so bad....including nut pkgs. I like the 100 calorie packs cause they help me keep under my calorie intake and they help with portion control. did you know that nabisco actually has 100 calorie packs of their caksters cookies?0

I love the Fit & Active cookie crisps at Aldis and Quaker rice cakes..they arent that healthy like fruit, but theyre a shade better than crap,,low cal crap..lol0

Nuts are super good0

1.Try pan fried nuts with a drop of olive oil , salt and pepper but becarefull of the quantity (should come under your daily cals).
2. Tossed sprouts with dry chillies ,mustured seeds, curry leaves ,cumin seeds(you can make sprouts with mung beans,cheakpeas black eyed beans,hourse grams ) all will be high in protein.0 -
nuts, fruit with cottage cheese, yogurt, toast with peanut butter, 100 calorie pack popcorn, banana's, edamame, trail mix (without the M&M's) - just some ideas ;-)0

I eat frozen berries like candy!
String cheese
sunflower seeds (in moderation b/c of fat content)
almonds
cottage cheese
greek yogurt with your own fresh fruit added sweetened with Stevia
hard boiled eggs
"Veggie Straws" (found at Sams Club...a great alternative to chips!!)
cantaloupe
lite popcorn (no butter)0 -
Celery + Peanut butter + raisins = YUMM!!
I also love the cheese and grapes combo.0 -
Veggie Straws if you love chips! You get 39 for 130 calories. They take care of the need for something salty and crunchy!0

i love Terra Exotic Vegetable Chips. they are a full serving of vegetables in one serving and its low in sodium! they also make Terra Sweet Potato Chips which are no salt added0

My fav things are;
Apple and 12 almonds (0.5oz)
Fruit and cottage cheese
Fruit and cheese string / babybel
Special K / fibre One bars
Edamame (they are soy beans in the pods that come frozen in a bag that you microwave and they steam themselves)
The packs are about 150 calories each and they are loaded wtih protein.
I always try to snack in something with protein because it (so I've read) keeps you feeling fuller longer0 -
Thanks for all the ideas!! I have a list made our for some snacks!! Happy dieting all!!0
