    Try a tablespoon of peanut butter, high in protein. Also, if you are just kinda bored and feel like you need to snack grab a ice cold bottle of water and drink the whole thing quickly. The water will naturally make you full without any calories

    I like to chew gum when I want to snack on something.

    If you have already ate what you normally do in calories, try eating ice. If you really feel your body needs a snack, eat something high in protein.

    String cheese
    greek yogurt
    peanut butter celery
    cereal bar
    beef jerky (last resort - high in sodium).

    I eat raw bell peppers. I do have some sort of dip with it, but just a small amount. Maybe a tablespoon and just put the bare minimum on each slice. I want to mention that I LOVE TO EAT, and normally this would NOT come out of my mouth, but...I cant help but notice that when I eat sliced peppers and dip. (currently, im using a thick blue cheese, by tmarzetti's--or veggie dip) I am full for a while. I realized it on accident, a coworker, in support of my efforts brought me a 'snack' to work. Needless to say, I was NOT pleased when I saw the peppers! lol Who would be? But I ate them, and realized that I had to REMIND myself to eat hours later!! Every now and again, I would try it again with the same results! :) Good luck!

    try some raw veggies. I am never hungry, but I eat something small about every 2 hours. Once I let myself actually feel hungry, it's too late to stop myself from eating way tooo much and probably eat the wrong things.

    Some snacks that will stay with you:

    1. celery with a little almond butter on it.
    2. blueberries and a low-fat cheese stick
    3. 5-6 almonds and an apple
    4. turkey and grapes

    I find if you combine the low fat proteins with the slower releasing carbs (like fruit or veggies) you stay satisfied longer... and losing weight isn't as painful a job.
