Snack ideas

It really depends on what kind of foods you like, and what other foods you're eating throughout the day.

Nuts of some kind are a good portable snack (they come in a lot of different flavors too, like wasabi and even coconut...you can also get plain ones and flavor them yourself if you want). Cheese sticks are another common snack. Bananas or apples are very portable and about 80-100 calories each. GoGoSqueez applesauce is all-natural and there are a lot of different flavors, some even with vegetables included, like a miniature smoothie...they are about 60 calories each.

Granola bars are good as long as they don't have too much sugar. The Kashi granola bars, Kind bars, and certain varieties of the Nature Valley bars don't have much sugar (5-7 grams). If you want you could also try making your own granola bars; it seems pretty easy although I have never tried.

Cereal also makes a good snack, although try to get one with a higher protein content to stay full longer, and a lower sugar content of course. I like Kashi cereals to have as an afternoon snack.

You can also have hummus, peanut butter, or tahini with vegetables, crackers, or pretzels on the side.

For snacks around here, I have protein bars, pudding, those skinny cow ice cream things, and then the odd piece of chocolate usually. I used to have twinkies, but I keep forgetting to buy more. You can't go nuts with any of them, but for between one and two hundred calories, none of them put a horrible dent in my day.

Not sure if you're tracking for calories or macros, but here are some of my favorite snacks:

- Mini babybel light cheeses
- Hardboiled eggs
- Carrots and feta/greek yogurt/dill/lemon juice dip
- Popchips
- Veggie chips (homemade)
- Stuffed mushrooms (with light cheese, dips, ground turkey/spices, etc)
- Cottage cheese, pepper and grape tomatoes

I really like prepackage servings of beef jerky. Handy to keep in the car, low cal, high protein. Jack links is the best brand I've found.

-whole wheat/grain dry cereal 1/2 cup is about 100 calories.
-fruit slices
-string cheese
-protein bars/ granola bars
Im not much of a crunch snacker, between meals I just have a piece of fruit.

My go to snack is 1cup Fage Greek yogurt, one scoop of chocolate whey protein. Since this is low carb and fat. I Add one banana to add carbs. And walnuts to add more fat. Awesome snack!

So far, my snacks have been 100 cal greek yogurt w/ berries (mixed frozen or strawberries), carrots with Italian dressing, 6 slices of banana with peanut butter in the middle (and frozen), greek yogurt and peanut butter dip with apples, edamame, celery w/ PB. My coworker loves Quest bars. They are high in protein.
