I don't snack either.

It really depends on what you are trying to achieve with the snacks and what you like.

Another non-snacker. Do you snack out of habit or because you think you should eat many meals a day?

I feel like a tape on repeat, but like everyone else has said -- what motivates the urge to snack?

My two drives tend to be straight-up hunger or trying to get more protein in the day.

Any time I'm hungry, I keep a big bin of mixed greens in my fridge (I like the kind with herbs in it, partly because it's part of my snacking regimen now) and I honestly try to chomp on a handful of those first, and make sure I have a little something to drink.

If I'm still hungry -- yogurt (100kcal), rice cakes (60kcal), radishes or cucumbers or carrots (depending, 5-70kcal a cup), or even a few pieces of oven poached chicken (since I don't use oil and bake them in parchment paper) if I don't have jerky in the house (around 100-180kcal).

If you just want fingerfoods to munch on, almonds aren't terrible, but they'll dehydrate you (and cause constipation) in large quantities and keep in mind the calories.

I didn't know that.

My afternoon snack is usually an iced coffee and maybe a protein bar or 100 cal popcorn. At work, I sometimes do a banana on lifting days.

I always try to do a little carb, a little protein, and a little fat. Like a few slices of avocado and a few pecans on whole wheat bread. It's only a few hundred calories and I'm full until a meal. I only snack around 4 pm because I found I'm hungry at that time everyday. If I plan for it I don't eat junk and I have a light dinner.

Doritos with cottage cheese???? Like topped with it?? Really?? That's a new one... I'm trying to imaging what that tastes like.... Lol

I never considered what I ate as snacks. I put turkey breast or smoked ham or chicken sausage with cheese on lettuce, finish it up with a bit of mayo or spicy mustard. Around 200 calories and filling. That'd be my lunch though.

Getting ready to do a healthy grocery shopping trip this week ,and I have been thinking of this too.Good snacks to keep me from going under or over my calories. I looove KIND bars. But im also going to look into those 100 calorie snack packs,various healthy ones. I think it'd keep snacking fun.Although nothing,for me,beats a yogurt and a bit of granola

I build snacks into my meal planning. I have a cup of coffee and a kind bar almost every day. (it's actually a generic kind bar from BJ's) I also like skinny pop and of course carrots and celery on the veggie side. But I really do look forward to my kind bars. They feel like a treat and I do t feel deprived.

I am only trying to lose about 15 more pounds and I'm in no hurry, so losing a pound a week is not discouraging in my book. Once I'm down to my goal weight, which happens to be fitting in my favorite clothes,
