What do you do for snacks??

I like to keep my kitchen stocked with 100ish cal snacks, so that if need be I can grab one without worrying about it denting my goal too much.
I have a sweet tooth so things like cereal bars (maize based usually) , kitkats, 2 oreo packs etc. I also have sugar free jelly pots in the fridge which are only 5 cals each!
Other things like low calorie crackers with low cal (laughing cow) cheese triangles spread on them 20cal cracker + 25 cal cheese means I can have 2 for under 100 cals!
I also get Graze boxed delivered- they're great and I can set it so they're all under 150cals, means I can grab one when I leave for work without worrying it'll break the calorie bank
I love Graze but you have to keep in mind that most snacks are 10 to 20% more calories than what the package says (the flapjacks are often 60 more calories!).0 -
I eat 3 cups of popcorn cooked in oil at 170 calories. Is a great TV snack. I use s cereal bowl and measured out the popped corn. My husband eats the rest. Salt, no butter.0

That's nuts! I love the flapjacks and brownies too I only get the 150cals or less boxes though so at least the margin of error on those is a little smaller, will definitely bear it in mind though0 -
I find that I have the same problem when it comes to snacking! I love cheese and can never just have one cheese stick and I also love sweet treat here and there. I have been resisting the urge to snack by prepacking my food. I pack so I can have breakfast, a snack, lunch, and another snack before dinner and eat every 3 hours. Cucumbers satisify my urge to snack alot of the time.. I also LOVE frozen grapes! Even some cottage cheese and fruit. For a crunchier snack zuccini chips are always a safe bet.. Take a zuccini slice it thin sprinkle a little sea salt and/or seasoning on them and cook them at 350 until crisp. If you want something a little sweeter weight watchers makes some great recipies! One of my favorites is low fat cool whip between two low fat chocolate grahm crackers frozen, it makes an awesome ice cream sandwich! I hope that helps.0

I tend to like meal-type foods for snacks. Baked sweet potatoes (I usually bake 2-4 at a time and put leftovers in the fridge), steamed veggies, cheese bread, mini-pizzas. If I want something sweet, I usually go for a healthier sweetened cereal, oatmeal, or homemade sweets. My trick for not wanting to go back for more snacks is to immediately drink something like coffee or tea to flush the flavor out of my mouth as soon as I'm done eating. Not tasting the snack anymore helps me to forget about it.0
