    I clean my teeth for a while; eating with ultra clean teeth is somehow less appealing! It may not work for you, but it seems to work for me.....most of the time! when it doesn't, I eat plain yoghurt.

    I hope it helps!:bigsmile:

    sometimes when i'm hungry, i try a tall glass of water first. if that doesn't help, i like cucumbers, organic baby carrots (they taste MUCH better!), sugar snap peas, popcorn, and occasionally half a sweet and salty almond/dark chocolate granola bar. if i'm really craving chocolate, i've found that brushing my teeth or eating a dill pickle often curbs that craving.

    best of luck!

    I love Pure Protein Bars. Super good and low in sugar (which many protein bars are not). :)

    I like to eat watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, strawberries... all healthy. There's yogurt (80-100 cal) If I want some chocolate, I've got my 80 cal choc pudding :)

    Cheese sticks are only about 110 calories. They taste good and are a good source of protein!

    Watermelon - I eat it only for dinner sometimes - Ha!

    You can log a whole watermelon and still be doing pretty good :) Sure you're groaning from bloat but no pain no gain

    I like to dip frozen strawberries (1Cup for 50 Cal.) in Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup (2Tbsp. for 15 Cal.).
    Sliced red bell pepper (salted) - it satisfies lots of cravings; sweet, crunch, spicy, juicy...

    I am eating my afternoon snack right now, celery sticks and hummus! I frequently pack myself some mini babybel cheese and grapes or an apple, so yummy!

    Watermelon is one of the lower cal fruits and the water+fiber fills you up. Strawberries also work. Plus they make me happy.

    :flowerforyou: Definitely agree with drinking a glass of water along with your snack. :drinker:

    Lightly steamed broccoli is awesome. Great nutrition, low cal, filling, plenty of fibers. If you like it with dip like ranch, a good alternative is low-fat plain yogurt with some seasoning salt (or your personal mix of powdered onion/garlic/salt/etc).

    baby carrots/peppers/cucumbers with light ranch dressing or whatever light dip you prefer! hummus is also very healthy, but i think it's an acquired taste.
    edamame
    certain fruits fill me up more than others (apples, grapes, bananas)
    handful of almonds

    I eat pop chips, special K chips, Quaker DIPP bars, Del Monte Fruit Naturals grapefruit or the mixed berries. Animal crackers, frozen grapes, and skinny cow ice cream sandwiches

    I made korma the other day, and had heaps of leftovers.

    So, using 1tbs of the korma/rice mix, I made mini korma rolls by wrapping the mix in rice paper - sprayed them very very lightly with oil and baked them on baking paper in the oven. Works out to be 37 calories per roll and they are delish!

    Am going to do the same with any other leftover currys or mince dishes - brilliant for lunchboxes and to chuck in the freezer too!
