    I'm not big on snacking. I'd rather allocate those calories to a meal. I've found that deprivation tends to accumulate over time if we're never truly satiating ourselves... which a lot of people tend to do when they spread their calories out over a lot meals and snacks. By consolidating things... ya tend to keep that inner rebel happy.

    But sometimes you just have to snack. I keep it simple personally. I love popcorn. I also love jello. Neither are very satiating to me, though.

    Rice cakes. Either buttered popcorn or caramel flavored ones, or plain ones with some spread topping (PB, cream cheese, hummus).

    Pop chips. 120 calories per 28g serving is pretty good. I don't get them too often, though.

    I like snacking, I get the munchies at least twice a day especially working in an office. So I find eating smaller meals and snacking more sustainable.

    Some of my favs : apple and almond butter, salmon pieces (in spring water) with cherry tomatoes a bit of chilli and herbs and crackers, protein balls (a little high in sugar and fat so need to balance the rest of the meals), tuna with crackers.

    Baby carrots with a dash of salt are my favorite low-cal snack.

    I love to snack. I eat a big bowl of popcorn and a small (weighed out) cup of m&ms every night before bed. Hasn't hindered my weight loss, 90 lbs down and in maintenance for 6 months! I prefer a more filling afternoon snack though. My favorite is Chobani Greek yogurt crunch things, only 100 calories but 12 g of protein and pretty filling.

    I don't eat popcorn hardly ever but this came to mind. Big fan of enlightened ice cream and halo top. Pop chips are great as well. Quest also came out with chips but haven't tried them yet. Good protein though.

    Last week, my hubby and I went to the movies and had popcorn and Reeces pieces. We decided to dump them in the popcorn. Yummy!

    I get these very low calorie mango dried chips at Fresh Market. They come in individual bags. 40 calories per bag. Very satifying because of the sweetness and the crunch. They have other fruits as well.
