Hi everyone!

I do so well at meals, but I completely blow it with snacks. I need suggestions. I'll eat anything but fruit.

XOXO

    I love fruit, yogurt or cottage cheese as a snack. You don't like any fruit? I love grapes or raspberries. only 1 calorie each so I can eat a bunch of them and feel like I am snacking without much calories. When I feel like something sweet I've been having a sugar free chocolate pudding cup. I guess it would just be on your tastes though. Whatever you ate before but a smaller portion?

    hummus and veggies....great snack, though hummus can have a lot of calories so you have to be careful. But it is a satisfying snack!

    Beef Jerky (low cal/ high protein) is my usual go to. Quest bars, fruits and veggies with some PB2. snacks high in protein can usually make a person feel fuller throughout the day. :)

    I have a massive amount of snacks in my pantry as this is where I really stuff up. Try Weight Watchers slices. Carrot cake, lemon, choco. Expensive but really low joule. nuts, nuts, nuts. But not too many. Get ones in shell like pistacios... it slows down the eating. Rice crackers. I have low fat chocolate mousse here. 200 kjs... yeah. Popcorn. Pop plain microwave ones but put salt on it. Dried apricots or dried things. We have apricots with coconut in it. yummo. Keep an eye out for low fat yogurts. Low fat milk with quik (choco powder). Tea, Cup a soups. Find a fruit that you like. im into bananas and water melon. Dip and veggies. Check all the calories in your snacks.

    I will totally try this! That sounds up my alley!

    and, sadly, no. I am not a fruit eater. Not sure why, because I'll eat any and every veggie known to man!

    Some of my go-to snacks include:
    hard boiled eggs
    string cheese
    beef jerky or turkey jerky
    nuts
    peanut butter and celery
    frozen yogurt or ice cream (whichever you prefer)
    protein snack bars
    carrots (or other veggies) and hummus
    laughing cow on crackers or a bagel thin
    Greek yogurt

    I like oatmeal with truvia and sugar free jelly when I want something sweet. High fiber bars when I'm somewhere I can't cook. 100 calorie pack popcorn when I want something salty/crunchy. Non-fat vanilla yogurt when I don't feel like having oatmeal. I should say the main meal I eat is breakfast and after that I only eat what most people would consider snacks - don't care much for cooking.

    An option than can work (though it doesn't for everyone) is not to snack.

    No, don't flip out. If you find you do well at meals, maybe you could make meals "eating time" and be done with it.

    Some people don't do well with that, of course, but it's a thought.

    I've gotten into a habit of mixing plain, nonfat greek yogurt with other stuff to make dips and spreads to help squeeze in more protein while reducing calories. For instance, when I want something salty and crunchy, I mix a couple tablespoons of hummus with a couple tablespoons of yogurt, then stir in a bit of hot sauce, and use this as a dip for bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots. I also like to mix yogurt with a bit of maple syrup and peanut butter, then spread it on a caramel rice cake when I'm craving dessert.
