Hey! So I am attempting weight loss seriously this time...one thing that always trips me up is trying to find low cal foods that can get me through the day without leaving me tired and grouchy.
Any grab and go snack suggestions? I want to find some variety of snacks so I'm not tempted to pull into a Wendy's when I get hungry. So far I'm thinking cottage cheese, and I like small carrots and oranges a lot. Other ideas would be great!

I like the following:
1. frozen grapes; just wash, slice in half, and put in a bowl in the freezer. They are sort of creamy and sorbet like, plus they take longer to eat.
2. frozen banana slices with 1 T drizzle of Hershey Syrup and 1 T of shelled pistachios
3. skinny pop or chickapop prepopped popcorn; better than it sounds, and nuked in the microwave for 30 seconds or so with some butter flavor cooking spray and dry ranch dressing sprinkled on while warm is yummy
4. 2 caramel rice cakes with 2T peanut butter and sliced banana or dried cherries
5. chobani 100 crunchy yogurt
6. chocolate graham crackers with Fatfree Cool whip and strawberry (or whatever kind of berry you like) slices
7. oven toasted almonds or pecans with dried fruit
8. apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon
9. veggie straws - you got a lot in one serving
10. reduced fat triscuits and laughing cow cheese
Hope these help. I taught school for 30 years, and snacks like these helped me make it through the after school tutoring and other activities.
I love cooking, too, so if you're interested in some good for you recipes that taste good, just ask.

@Ginny218 I have heard of bento boxes before. Do you know what category they might be under on this site?
@bhunter428 the frozen grapes sound good! I'll have to try that. How long do they keep? Are they good for several days?0 -
String cheese, nuts, wasabi peas, fudge pops, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, hummus & veggies, protein bars, Greek yogurt, beef or turkey jerky, popcorn, apples & peanut butter, fruit0

My favorite quick snacks are Nature Valley's protein bars (190 cals with 10g of protein) and Kirkland's (Costco) Steak Strips (60 cals per ounce with 9g of protein). If you want to be satisfied, chose snacks high in protein. I also enjoy Wheat Thins, Triscuits, BabyBel light cheese, peanuts, and raisins.0

Here's the bento box thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10043413/using-bento-boxes-for-lunches/p1
My go-to snacks are babybel cheese, pistachios, gala apples, clementines, green apples with peanut butter, Clif bars (peanut toffee buzz, yum), hummus with red bell pepper or cucumber, bananas, various kinds of yogurts, and dried cranberry/mixed seed trail mix.0 -
Greek yogurt, string cheese, protein bars0

Thanks everyone for some snack ideas! I think these will really help me in the long run.0

Cheese and some whole grain crackers do it for me. There is a brand I get from Sam's, Crunchmaster, that seems to be pretty healthy and relatively low in sodium. I like the taste, not everyone will.0

Frozen banana thing above sounds like a winner!! I like dried figs, hardboiled eggs with sriracha, laughing cow spread on a toasted English muffin half, a nice big deli pickle, sliced turkey, any type of berries.0

celery stick with cream cheese and raisens. celery stick with cream cheese and sugar free strawberry jam. half lrg apple with 1 tbs peanut butter. Half a banana curbs the chocolate sweet tooth. Stick a sugar free kiwi strawberry benifiber in 16oz h2o so yummy , sweet and fiber curbs hunger/ 20 cal.0

Has anyone dried apples in the oven? They are pretty crispy and sweet -- especially if you had some cinnamon or cinnamon and sugar. It doesn't take much to flavor the apples a lot.0

If I'm looking for a snack for "mindless munching" or really still hungry in the evening I do this. I make a mini pickle tray. A few dill pickle slices..a couple sweet pickle slices.. 5 green olives.. 1 oz or less of cubed cheese and either a few grapes, app,d slices or boiled egg. A lot of food without a lot of calories1
