    I used to have a huge sweet tooth but it's slowly gone away one I took a lot of sugar out of my diet and switched to splenda! My new favorite snack is sweet snap peas. I'm not a pea fan at all but these taste awesome and any fresh veggie is going to be good for ya! And, for me, it's got just enough sweetness to get me past any cravings. I've also been looking in the snack aisle for sugar free cookies and candies.

    I try and stay away from fiber one bars and special K bars. They have way too much sugar in the. I like the protein bars. Pure Protein has a chocolate peanut butter one that is amazing. It's 200 calories which makes a great snack. 6g fat (3g sat fat), trans fat. 16g carbs, 20g protein, 2g of added sugar. and chock full of nutrients.

    And if you are looking for a small fix and not too worried about sugar try a peppermint patty: 2.5g of fat in a regular size one. You can have 2 minis for 100 calories (but 18g of sugar). And they have so much flavor with the mint.

    I look more at nutrients and sugar and fats as opposed to calories. Calories are our friends (they are our body's energy source). It's all the crap that comes with the calories that's bad for us.

    Even though you are tired of the yogurt, have you tried mixing in fat free, sugar free insant pudding mix? I use 2 tsp per 6 oz of greek yogurt. It gives you a variey of flavors and you make different snacks and treats out of it. I have been hooked on cheesecake. I use the cheesecake pudding mix with the yogurt and then spread it on one sheet of a honeymaid graham cracker. It tastes just like a piece of cheesecake for only 180 calories. The vanilla is really good for banana smoothies. 1 frozen banana, 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk, 4 oz yogurt and 1-2 tsp vanilla pudding mix. I had one of those last night, very yummy and lower calories for your small frequent meals.

    I was just going to suggest sugar snap peas! They are a little bit sweet, but still let you get in your veggies rather than just more sugar/empty carbs. I like them best really cold from the fridge and/or with hummus. Costco sells them in 2lb bags for way cheaper than regular grocers - I just bought one on Sunday and am almost through it already!

    I snack ALLL day long. Check out my diary. I really like reduced fat cheese sticks, pretzels, and pickles.

    I am trying to stay away from a lot of sugar these days but I am obsessed with fresh strawberries with some truvia and low calorie reddi whip.

    There is also an awesome post about frozen peanut butter cups...made with free cool whip. I made them, DELISH!!! And yesterday I ordered a product called PB2. It has aweseom reviews. It is peanut butter (dry, you add water to it) that is 45 cals and 1.5g of fat for 2 tablespoons!! I can't wait to try it with these frozen peanut butter cups.

    sure those Fibre1 are good if you're really stuck/lazy .
    ..but a nice piece of fresh fruit and a few nuts tastes so much better! ..ditto for the veggies people suggested

    i'm thinking less in terms of _snacks_ these days and more in the way of small and frequent meals.
    i just break up my food diary into 4 hour segments from 8 a.m. to midnite and try to keep my metabolism up with plenty of exercise and small and frequent servings that include proteins
