    I keep a box of granola bars/nutrigrain bars at my desk and at home so if I need just a quick snack that's on the go, it's easy and quick and depending on the kind you get, not too high in calories
    If I have more time, or if I make food for the week ahead of time, hummus and carrots; frozen grapes, Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of granola; string cheese; tangerines; almonds; banana and a tbs peanut butter; and sooooo many more!

    I tend to go for anything that's just quick and easy. For me, I don't like to spend a lot of time preparing food, so all these work out for me.

    I find I'm constantly trying to find snacks that kill a craving. Healthy snacks can be so dull! And even sometimes really calorific... Hummus/ guac two of my fave 'healthy' snacks are loaded in calories. HELP!!!!!
    - 6-8 water crackers, 2 egg and cucumber.
    - 6-8 water crackers, 100g ham, cucumber.

    I generally snack on home made protein bars or fruit, if I don't want to prepare anything. I make the protein bars 16 or 32 at a time, so they are always available. Fat free greek yogurt with some fruit and/or Walden Farms zero calorie sauces for flavor are also good with minimal prep time.

    I love Walden Farms products! I discovered them while I was on Weight Watchers a few years ago.

    i can usually find a fruit or vegetable that will satisfy most of my junk food cravings. but if i can't find a healthy alternative, then i give in to the junk and eat just enough to kill the craving and no more. rarely do i bring the junk into my home, but work is still a HUGE problem for me (as far as the junk). and i know that there is NO such thing as "junk" food, but there IS such a thing as less healthy than other foods.

    Yasso's Greek Yogurt Bars - Mint Chocolate Chip. 100kcal per bar and it's oh-so good.

    Welch's Frozen Berry Blends (Four Berries or Antioxidant Mix) is another fave of mine. I like adding it to greek yogurt and oatmeal, too.

    Hershey's Bliss, Dark Chocolates. 35kcal per chocolate.

    I love snacking on tomato salad, too-- just diced tomatoes, spinach, red onions, red peppers, black pepper, green olives, string beans, olive oil, and white vinegar. Sometimes I'll put some on toasted wheat bread (40-45kcal/slice), but usually I eat it as it is.

    Oh man, and cheese. White cheddar is a favorite of mine, and the one I get is approx 110kcal per 1oz. If I have a lot of calories leftover I'll make hot chocolate with 1% milk and add about 1-2oz of some yellow cheese (usually American or gouda). I don't indulge in that too often, though, for obvious reasons.

    Turkey wrapped in lettuce is another option.

    And fresh fruit, in my opinion, never gets old.

    Hot chocolate with cheese in it? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that.

    I love cooked shrimp with Nando's periperi sauce, lime and cilantro. Soooo good. Also makes a good lunch if you're saving calories for another meal.

    Frozen grapes are amazing. Also, I love doing apples and peanut butter, rice cake with a little peanut butter and a few banana slices, trail mix, string cheese, a pickle, popsicles, popcorn, fruit cups, probiotic yogurt, carrots and light ranch, smoothie, toasted almonds, wheat tortillas spray butter and cinnamon (bake in the oven and it becomes crispy) then drizzle a little all natural honey on it :)

    I always eat string cheese - the weight watchers brand is only 50 calories per stick. If you're at home, sweet potato chips are super easy to bake. Just cut up, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake at 400 for 25 min or so and you can make a great dip for those by mixing plain Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard.

    Definitely going to try this. Thanks!

    raw sugar snap peas are nice and sweet, baby carrots, sliced tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. All of those are super low calorie.

    My go to snacks are really just fruit and raw dark greens. Grapefruit, Greek yogurt, mandarin oranges, pineapple, mangos, celery with yogurt or almond butter, a quick sunny side up egg..

    If you need sweets, jawbreakers sugar free are pretty good. Something like 2 1/2 calories per sweet so you can eat quite a lot of them and stay within reasonable range. Lots of carbs & sweeteners though, so if you don't like those then they're maybe not so good

    I like to make parmesan cheese crisps. I take tablespoons of finely shredded parmesan cheese, place on a cookie sheet about an inch and half apart, and bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. They crisp up beautifully. Sometimes I add a little finely chopped turkey pepperoni to the cheese before I bake and then I dip them in salsa or marinara sauce. They will keep in a sealed container for about a week (if they last that long).
    This sounds yummy. Cheese is my downfall!
