    Roasted pumpkin seeds (crunchy & salty so I don't miss chips!). For a sweeter crunch, I like the Bare honey baked coconut chips - so good!

    Kay's natural chips or puffs. High in protein(12 g per bag) and most come in a 1 serving bag so I usually don't over do! calories between 110 and 125. The new pass the peas are lower in protein, only 90 cal per serving - but highly addictive - and they come in 4 serving bags! I'm finding it hard to stick with serving!

    I love Garden brand Veggie Straws. They're only 130 calories for 1oz, and they're very light so you get quite a few for a serving. They're high in sodium, but they fill my "chip void" for fewer calories than a handful of potato chips.

    Fresh green beans blanched with a bit of sea salt put in your fridge and snack so good!

    When I have a half ounce of chips with a sandwich or one ounce of crackers with cheese and meat, I don't feel the urge to eat more.

    Additionally:
    • I weigh them out and put the bag away, out of sight.
    • Eating slowly helps as well.
    • I usually have some carrot or apple with the crackers, meat, and cheese.

    I love celery and carrot sticks dipped in hummus. Nuts are also a great snack, full of healthy fatty acids and filling. ..just watch your portion size.

    I second Veggie Sticks, I prefer the Aldi version over all others. Also White Cheddar Puffs from Trader Joe's.

    dried edamame

    Hey, I literally just tried this the other day, my coworker brought it in. Made fun of her for being too darn healthy. Surprisingly it was pretty darn good. Tasted like a nut.

    I eat chips I fit it in. I weigh them and then thats it. If I'm eating salsa I'll weigh out one serving usually 16 chips for 130 calories plus some fresh homeade salsa now that's a good snack in the evening!!
