    Depends really on what you looking for - grapes are quite high in sugar as is pineapple so you're get that instance hit. However I would try grazing on pictasio nuts - hope that helps and good luck.

    Dried fruits are wonderful, as well as nuts. Depends on what type of diet you are looking for. I also love frozen greek yogurts, and am when my sweet tooth kicks in, I reach for dry honey nut chex. Popcorn comes in light varieties also.

    Any food that has calories will give you energy. That is essentially what calories are. What kind of food/snack you are looking for will depend on your diet and nutritional goals.
