    I'm a big fan of all food. I'd prefer to see you eat as you always have, only in smaller portions. Have you been logging long? Really watch your fats they can add up quickly.

    Well thanks my problem was I was eating way to many carbs and sugars and not much of anything else. So I'm trying to eat healthier now. Thanks for the advice:)

    Just eat more protein and fats.... Doesn't mean you can't eat foods you like. "low calorie" does not mean healthy, and healthy doesn't mean low calorie.

    Skinny pop popcorn love it, great snack.
    Love pure protein bars for a snack or meal replacement. I live on grill chicken. Throw it salads, wraps...

    >Spaghetti squash, great way to get more veggies in your diet and you can have tons of it for low calorie in replacement of regular spaghetti noodles.
    >Quest bars are yummy, high protein bars that are good if you're craving sweetness.
    >Most other fruits and vegetables. Find ways to switch up other snacks you might normally eat with carrots/hummus, pretzels/cheese, fruit/peanut butter. (And I agree with the Pb2 comment. It's much lower in calories than regular peanut butter at only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons.)

    One of my fav treats is this "cookie"....Mash two VERY ripe bananas (think almost black), mix in 1 cup quick oats & 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. Place by the tablespoon on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake on 350 for about 12-15 minutes. Two "cookies" are about 90 calories. They are best right out of the oven, but I also freeze them and just pop 2 in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds when I need a sweet treat.

    Why are most of these suggestions carb based when the OP has said she eats too many carbs?

    Protein is important, as is fat. Limiting fat because it is calorie dense isn't a good idea, it's so necessary for health!

    Lean meat, veggies, fruit, dairy, whole grain. Eat whatever you like. Just stay within your calorie limit. I eat all my favorite main dishes, just less of them. I fill in the rest of my plate with veggies, often steamed or roasted.

    Get a spiral cutter and make zucchini noodles! My favorite is the zoodles with one or two wedges of laughing cow light swiss and some mushrooms all warmed up together. Super filling and incredibly low calorie.
