It is easy to fall into a boring rut of the same snacks every day. What have you found to be delicious, in-between-meal snacks, that don't put you over your daily calorie limits? Here are a few of mine to share. My tummy does not digest fresh veggies very well, so for me, this is not on my snack list). I'm looking forward to finding some new specific items for my own diet and hope the lists help you on your journey as well!
1. Fresh fruit (goes without saying)
2. Brown rice crackers (19 crackers for 130 calories)
3. Laughing cow cheese (35 calories)
4. Freshly popped popcorn (50 calories per cup)
5. Vanilla yogurt with fresh berries (I do not eat flavored yogurts... look at the ingredients!!)
What are your top 5?

sugar free jelly(jello to my colonnial cousins).40 cals a pint.0

Quest bars or any other protein bars, rice cakes (sometimes with nut butters), protein shakes, bite size candies... I guess this is as low calorie as I go and not much of a snacker. I'd say veggies, but that goes with main courses.
