Can anyone tell me some healthy snacks that I can have in between meals to fill me up - any ideas on seeds or nuts?

    I've done the trail mix bit, and love cashews... unfortunately I develop a taste for them and eat too much. I have discovered that a sf jello cup with a little ready whip is super low in calories, and a nice treat for in between meals. good luck!

    I love the 100 calorie packs. Surprising filling.

    I'll second veggies and hummus. Or Yogurt, or fruit and cottage cheese.

    I don't typically choose nuts as a regular snack. They are a pretty calorie dense food and I don't find they fill me. I will choose nuts, if I haven't eaten enough during the day and need to bring my calories up.

    Special K Multigrain crackers are really tasty, a little salty and nutty flavored. Add a little 2% cheese or some fruit for a satisfying low calorie snack, with whole grains! I like to have them with a piece of lowfat string cheese, or some peanut butter if I'm low on protein.

    If you want sweet I second the recommendations for sugar free jello or the 100 calorie packs. My favorite is the south beach diet one with dark chocolate covered soy nuts, satisfies the chocolate craving while getting in some vitamins and protein as well.

    I love hummus. But, my wife says it gives me bad breath.

    Is peanut butter on crackers a good in-between snack?

    I really like having peanut butter as a snack because it fills you up and also has healthy fats! I'll eat it on a slice of toast or even cut an apple into slices and dip them into the peanut butter. It's soo yummy and a nice mix of flavors! I also sometimes put a few chocolate chips on top of my peanut butter toast for a sweet treat! :)
