    I have blueberries and no fat yogurt. Usually limit snacks to one a day.

    God, I haven't had chili cheese fritos in years. That was my jam back in the day!

    I'm usually a big fruit-eater, but lately, I've been struggling to get enough protein, so I'm trying to snack on cheese sticks or yogurt. Or a hard boiled egg, when I've remembered to boil them, which is not often.

    I almost never​ snack. When I do it is of the usual snack variety - crisps, snikers, chocolate, icecream.

    Oooo - I've seen that range, but never tried! Have you tried any of the other flavours? (is it anything like cookie dough butter?)

    I've become fond of sunflower seeds recently. A package can last me two days. I don't have a problem with salt and I like that you can't eat them fast. Other snacks would add far more calories for me.

    No, that's the only one I've tried ... because I really like salted caramel. :)

    I usually have toast with leatherwood honey, or maybe if I've got a lot of calories left over toast with nutella and honey, but just before Christmas, I noticed those spreads and couldn't resist the salted caramel. I only have it once in a while, but noticed that this last container expires on April 4th, so I figured I'd better get busy and eat it!! :grin:

    I may yet try some of the others ... just having a bit of trouble picturing them spread on toast.

    I'm a fan of the mantra "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants, and ingredients that would make sense to your grandmother" (borrowed from here: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20090323/7-rules-for-eating), and I snack pretty often. Lately snacks have been string cheese (the 50 cal/stick ones), bananas, oranges, tangerines (Halos or Cuties), vegetable chips (not veggie straws which are mostly powder and corn, but like baked sweet potato, beet, jicima, etc - about 150 cals/serving), a handful of unsalted almonds, microwave popcorn (not every day, and this one does violate the "ingredients" rule above), granola bars (I like Kashi TLC bars, there's a cheaper version at some stores like Aldi), or a serving of chips and salsa (thank god I'm not super salt sensitive). #I<3Snacks

    I usually have fruit and something with protein in the morning and a higher protein snack in the afternoon. Today I had a banana with PB2 between breakfast and lunch and packed chicken jerky for the afternoon. I also make protein pancakes out of half a scoop of protein powder and fruit--love this--when I am at home and can cook on a range top.

    Other snacks I like: 10 or so almonds, a few slices of deli turkey, edamame, hummus, an ounce of smoked salmon wrapped around cucumbers.

    I keep tuna packets (different flavors), fruit, canned veggies, and canned fruit all at my desk for those dire moments when I need a snack at work.

    I snack on fruits most of the time because that's what I've always loved for snacks. Sometimes I snack on chips or chocolate, I also eat ice cream in the summer and the odd couple of cookies every now and then. It doesn't really make much of a difference for me what I use for snacks because it just ends up being around the same calories regardless of food, somewhere between 100 and 250.

    Snacks are good for my soul, so I don't cut them out. Some people do better without snacking, and that's alright too.

    I can probably eat a full bag of baby carrots in one sitting hahaha oops. I once turned my teeth orange (temporarily; my dentist pointed it out since I'd been snacking right before the appointment) from eating too many carrots.

    ( I watch carbs and stay on/under calories) I use the small sweet cucumbers from Sams sliced and dip it in hummus with salsa on top. Nuts 100 calories, sugar free jello and half of a peanut butter to go cup (mix it - like PBJ - a lil of both on spoon) Sometimes put that on a low carb tortilla , Pecan halves dipped in Skinny Cow cheese wedge, turkey cheese roll ups, cottage cheese and tomatoes, veggies dipped in ranch or blue cheese (surprised to like sliced radishes like this), 1/2 cup carb smart ice cream, love the Atkins chocolate covered almonds but try to divide the small serving package into 3 servings, avocado with salsa and cilantro on top - sometimes use this as a meal, sometimes I throw together a homemade broccoli salad, coleslaw, or cucumber salad, left over veggies, scoop of peanut butter holds me over, hot tea, almond/coconut milk, Gosh I love a snack! Can you tell? Oh frozen blueberries if fresh not available.

    I don't snack...

    I mostly don't either. Occasionally, if I decide I want something in the late afternoon because I'm eating dinner late and had a lot of workout calories I will have some nuts, or maybe a plain greek yogurt with berries or some cottage cheese, or a protein bar or Kind bar.

    The only snack I allow myself to have is one Quest Bar per day. Some days, I eat one, some days I don't. It works for me. Plus, I need to extra protein and fiber.
