I like a serving of turkey pepperoni and a Babybel light for my mid-morning snack; 120 calories and 15 gms of protein.

Air popped popcorn is the best. Air poppers are pretty cheap - $15-20 - and you can control the flavor and calorie content. Some of my favorite combos are olive oil, salt and Herbs de Provence; olive oil, salt and pepper; and butter, cinnamon and sugar. Yes butter and oil! If you don't use a ton it is not a huge calorie bomb (as opposed to movie theaters, bagged popcorn, etc.).

You can also put popcorn kernels in a brown paper bag and put it in the microwave, but the air popper makes larger quantities faster and with less mess.

Airpopped popcorn is my FAVORITE!! Also Rolled Gold pretzels. I eat about 1/4 of their serving size and it's enough of a treat. Gummy Bears and Sweedish Berries too. I also eat M&M's... half their suggested serving size. I prepackage all of this in snack baggies in a basket in the kitchen so it makes it super easy to take for work and then you don't feel like you are "dieting" but following serving sizes. Where we live, we have Leclerc GoPure granola bars and they have yummy flavors like dark chocolate and raspberries (130 cals and VERY filling!) and Boulangerie Grissol Morning Thins at 70 calories (yummy and very filling!). Any sort of flavored thin crisp breads. Prepackaged "healthy" snacks at 100 calories are not my regular go-to snack..... since if you just follow serving sizes and adjust them accordingly, you can make just about anything a "100 calorie" option. Good luck!

A hard boiled egg makes a good morning snack for me. The protein helps get me through to lunch. I especially need it when I have had an early breakfast.

I understand the struggle! My favorite diet "bad for you" snack is Green Giant Baked Veggie Puffs!! Great replacement for cheese puffs which are one of my favs! I also like Snack Factory pretzels and of course, popcorn - my fav is Skinny Pop.

My suggestion is too, if you're going to snack, put single servings in baggies beforehand so you don't get carried away, cuz you know it's easy to do!!

Start including more fruits, vegetables & nuts in your snacking. You'll eventually start going for those on a more regular basis once you find things you like. And don't underestimate the power of low fat, low cal. dressings or sauces - they help those veggies go down. (Yes, I'm a realist, lol.)

If you are looking for something sweet but still healthy try Dole Dippers. They come in single serve packs and don't have to be kept frozen. They come in chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered bananas, and chocolate covered bananas with almonds. Another favorite of mine is string cheese. I like to pair a string cheese with a few turkey pepperoni slices and a little container of pizza/spaghetti sauce. Whenever we have spaghetti for dinner I take some of the sauce and freeze in little dip size containers. I can pull one of those and throw into another container with a string cheese and pepperoni. It's a pizza without the crust and is very filling.

I agree with frozen grapes... they are wonderful. I mostly eat fruits and veggies for snacks. Celery with peanutbutter is just wonderful! Every once in a while i will have a carob (similar to chocolate) covered rice cake. Or a small piece of dark chocolate by itself.
