    Veggies!!!

    I am an quantity eater.

    Stimulating the chewing mechanism relays a message to the brain that you’re consuming something. The more I chew, the more I feel full.

    Sweet
    Edy's slow churned caramel delight ice cream. One of my fave ice creams and is 110 cals a half cup. They have other flavors too but I love the caramel.
    Grapefruit 106 per fruit
    Grapes, orange, apple, banana
    Berries with a splash of milk/half and half/tbsp of heavy cream with a bit of splenda
    4 Andes mints (like they give out at Olive Garden)
    Toast with butter, cinnamon, and sugar
    A couple of squares of really good chocolate. Splurge and get the really good stuff and savor it. Preferably dark.

    Salty
    In shell sunflower seeds. Even 50 cals worth is quite a bit, takes a while to eat, and fills me up.
    Pretzels (with or without pb)

    Crunchy
    Any kind of veggies (carrots, broccoli, celery and zucchini are my favorites) with ranch dip made from plain greek yogurt and ranch mix. 100 cals is actually a LOT.
    Celery with peanut or almond butter (carefully measure p/a butter)
    Pretzels (with or without pb)
    Crackers/toast/pretzels/celery/? with laughing cow cheese wedge (35 cals)
    Plain popcorn with salt/garlic/herbs no or add a little of your own butter.

    Warm
    Half can of light progresso soup. Chicken pot pie is my favorite.
    1 egg scrambled with small amount of cheese (laughing cow?) or a slice of bacon or a handful of veggies

    Protein
    Jerky
    Hard boiled egg (70 cals so add some...?) or 1 egg scrambled with small amount of cheese (laughing cow?) or a slice of bacon or a handful of veggies
    Protein shake (Dymatize iso has 106 cals a scoop)
    Lettuce rolls: lettuce leaf, turkey (or other meat), small amount of cheese, salsa/smear of ranch/mustard/honey mustard...?
    String cheese
    Yogurt (preferably greek, preferably plain with your own fruit/sweetener added)
    Can of tuna with salsa/garlic/mustard/hot sauce.

    Alcohol
    4-5oz of cabernet or other non-sweet red wine
    1.5oz clear liquor with soda water and a wedge of lemon/lime (or diet anything)
    Gross light beer

    This is a great response!

    My 100'ish calorie snack before bed is usually a small apple w/ a touch of almond butter thinned out w/ water or cashew milk. I also like to have just a plain spoon of almond butter.

    Either 2 Trader Joe's Speculoos cookies, ~4 pretzels and a half ounce of cheese, or some cottage cheese with Cholula on it, depending on what my macros looked like for the day.

    I mash some berrys into total greek yogurt and spread on an oatcake, or have grapes with almonds or plain old boiled egg.

    I love to bake a sweet potato in the microwave and add cinnamon with some zero calorie sugar.

    I enjoy hearing everybodys go to snacks.

    I always have Humus. Sometimes veggies or wheat thins. Pretzels work well also.
    Apple with peanut butter if I have some calories to spare.

    A small warm cup of Winter Jack (110 per 1.5 oz)

    Single serve chocolate or mint.

    I often abuse Werther's Caramel Coffee. Sugar free for me but the regular are only 70 calories for four. Lasts a long time.

    I don't. You don't HAVE to eat all the reccomended calories. Why bother if you're not hungy? If you are getting hitting your minimum calorie goal, your macros look good, AND your not hungry, why not just not eat?

    depends on what I'm craving and where I stand with my macros. I typically would try skinny pop popcorn, yogurt, a banana, an apple -- or a small glass of wine

    Same here unless I am really hungry. Then it is an apple and a big glass of water.

    I love sliced broccoli stems or carrot sticks dipped in salsa. The salsa is 35 calories (pace chunky hot) per 1/4 cup and that leaves enough calories for about a cup of veggies.

    I love carrots and salsa. Everyone thinks it sounds weird, but I think it's great!

    I like a drink I read about. I put 1 tbsp of honey with a splash of cinnamon in a mug of boiled water. Tastes amazing.

    I'd eat one of these and still be 50 calories under.

    I see those all the time what are they like?

    I have this weird thing for Stella Gorgonzola. DH says it's what made me fat but it's like 100 cal for a 1/4 cup and I would eat like 2 tbsp a day (and not everyday) sitting on my butt and not altering my diet made me fat.

    I'm not much on rice cakes but the caramel ones are pretty good for 50 calories. Top with thin layer of peanut butter. Yum!

    Probably nothing. Why? Because unless you are very, very accurate in the logging the calories in your foods, you could very well be going over with that last 100 or actually be 200 calories under and be perfectly fine

    I guess it depends where in the day you'd like to add them.

    Mornings: Banana or Apple
    Afternoon: Popcorn, Mini Cliff Bar, or Nature Valley Granola Thins
    Evening: Skinny Cow Caramel Truffle

    I've never snacked so much in my life as I have these last 2+ yrs on mfp.

    A cup of nonfat yogurt.
    A couple pieces of fruit (depending on type & weight).
    A piece of mozzarella (1 piece of string cheese is 80 calories).
    4 oz of sliced turkey lunchmeat.
    Crudites with a couple T of hummus, or dip into fat-free ranch dressing.

    Some sort of booze. Not gonna lie - if I have the extra calories, it's for booze.

    Little bit of deli turkey/ham and a slice of pepperjack cheese is my go-to.
