    I like hummus and veggies. Sometimes I make plain hummus then add a different stir-in so I don't get bored. Stir-ins I have tried are: diced pickled jalapeno, chopped sundried tomatoes, pesto, diced roasted red peppers, and sriracha.

    Here is a seasonal hummus recipe I have been making too. soupspiceeverythingnice.blogspot.com/2016/08/masonable-mondays-5-snickerdoodle-hummus.html

    Oikos triple zero yogurt. Nothing artificial, creamy, and a good snack to hold you over!

    I love dried mango strips. hmmm it's fruit jerky! Banana chips. They have about every fruit in dried form if you like the texture. I think it's almost like a gummy.

    Ever since eating healthy and dieting just a plain old banana tastes delicious, I never thought it tbh since I normally disliked them

    I like putting together a nut mix with some almonds and walnuts, I also pack single serving guacamole and dip carrots, cucumber and broccoli in it. I also do Greek yogurt with berries as a snack. An apple -- I have found if I buy good apples, like pink ladies or honeycrisp, they taste so stinking good.

    for snacks I have been eating 14 grapes and enough yogurt to cover. This is instead of my old ideas which was popcorn, tortilla chips, etc. :/

    I actually really like Special K! Their snacks range from about 80(ish) calories to somewhere in the low 100s. But otherwise, and I know a lot of people hate this, but I love cottage cheese with a little bit of sweet fruit. Always kept me full. :)

    String cheese, wasabi peas, fudge pops, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, hummus & veggies, Greek yogurt, beef or turkey jerky, popcorn, fruit

    I love wasabi peas, but too much. Every time I have them I finish the whole can and then can't taste anything for a couple of days.

    I prefer my cucumber with cracked pepper

    Since ALWAYS. Its not what you eat, its how much you eat that matters. Nutrients are a different story.

    The bolded bit should be the MFP slogan so we never have to write it again.

    slice of cheese with two slices of deli ham or turkey (sometimes I add pickle chips if I need the sodium), 2tbsp of almonds with 2Tbsp of raisins, cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes, plain Greek yogurt with a dab of honey or maple syrup, or if I am feeling really hungry, a chopped hard boiled egg, half of an avocado and a hand full of cherry tomatoes with a dab of vinegar.

    Vegan cakes which are refined-sugar free are usually very good for weight loss. Plus, they are so nutritious, that it's ok to have cake everyday. Google them -there are loads of recipes.

    Also I tend to snack on rice cakes with different toppings for a snack instead of crisps/biscuits. and they can be as low as only 12 calories each.

    A slice of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter on.
    Not overly high in calories if you only have a thin layer - dense in monohydrate fats to keep you feeling satiated longer and a great source of protein!

    As said above though - any snack in moderation. Remember, this is a healthy lifestyle - health is body and mind. Without a few of the things you enjoy, you're putting yourself on a course to be miserable.

    I don't even cut it up. I just salt each bite and chomp down.

    Don't over think things. Pick up a vegetable and eat it. Or a fruit if you have some carbs left over, or a piece of cheese if you need a little fat and protein, or a protein bar if you need the protein.
