    If you like crispy snacks, Special K cracker chips are something I have every night to ease my no potato chip blues - 20 grams for 80 calories, and they come in chip flavours, like bbq, salt and vinegar, sour cream and dill, popcorn, plaint etc. Its just the right size serving for me to be satisfied and happy.

    I've tried narins dark chocolate biscuits tonight must admit pretty good at 44cal each. They come in packs which adds to three conscious minds of how many you are eating plus after 2 I didn't feel i ''needed'' more x

    They're a bit higher in calories, but I really like Larabars for my sweet cravings at night. I'm still looking for a substitute for my salty cravings all day. Any suggestions?

    Nori snacks! Nori snacks have very few calories and are a great way to quell a craving for a savoury or salty food. (Be aware, though, that they are salty - so if you're watching your sodium intake, think twice.)

    I love humous but even the reduced calorie is fairly high in calories any suggestions on a swap or variety that's lower?

    Zucchini noodles (zoodles) and marinara sauce... perfect for spaghetti, but with virtually no calories from the "pasta"

    Since it's the summer, I have been snacking on watermelon with feta crumbles and a dash of basil. Sweet and salty.

    @sjgold123 , have you tried making your own and using less oil? It's really simple to make. Sometimes I just mash chickpeas and put them on toast with lettuce, tomato salt and pepper.

    I'm going to have to try that cauliflower you keep mentioning!!

    . . . Tried it! It was delicious! For me, it's all about attitude. Cauliflower, until now, has always been a utilitarian vegetable, but my attitude has changed.
