    my new favorite snack is Townhouse Flatbread Crisps in Sea Salt & Olive Oil with a Garlic & Herb Laughing Cow cheese wedge.

    6 crackers are only 70 calories and a cheese wedge is 35 cals. LOW CAL AND DELICIOUS :)

    This sounds good!
    Umm, I agree with what she said! ;p

    Also, I stay away from processed foods as much as I can. The only junk food I really allow myself is soft serve ice cream and dark chocolate. Everything else is like a trigger to me. However I usually make pita chips. I take a 1/2 TBS. of Marie's Lite Chunky Bleu Cheese dressing and brush it on Joseph's Flax, oat and wheat small pit bread and then cut it into small triangles and sprinkle with a slight dash of garlic salt or parmesan cheese and toast in my toaster oven on medium till crisp enough and lightly golden brown. I dip them in garlic hommus. So yummy! ...or baby carrots cold in garlic hommus is good too.

    Sun Chips aren't bad and actually taste good. I can't stand baked chips.
    Skinny Cow Ice Cream. Ice cream cones from McDonalds (helps with portion control).
    GOOD expesive candy in moderation. I like Dove dark chocolate.

    I am addicted to chips, ice creams, and candy.
    But I haven't been buying them because they are so high in trans fats and calories.

    Chips are one of my favorite snacks ever. I know I will not be able to last if I don't have some kind of chips soon.
    Same with ice cream and candy.

    Are there any low-cal types of these snacks I can reach for instead of grabbing cheetos and a hershey bar?

    Chips... make your own. Use a spray oil (minimal calories) on thin sliced potatoes or corn tortillas, bake for 10 min.
    Ice Cream... If Dreyer's didn't have their no sugar added 1/2 fat ice creams I'd have gone nuts before getting my ice cream maker.

    How many calories do those chips end up being? Sound good.

    My new favorite is Blue Diamond nut-thins instead of potato chips. Also skinny cow ice cream singles are just the right amount of ice cream for me at 150 calories.

    I love the Blue Diamond wasabi almonds. So delicious!

    For savoury crunchy things - roast soy beans, wasabi peas or wasabi bean mix.

    For my "crunchy food" cravings~~I do Weight Watcher Dijon pretzel thins(110 cal pack pouch--I buy at my WW meetings) or WW Mutigrain cracker thins w/ a 35 calorie light Laughing Cow cheese wedge or a Wholly gaucamole 100 cal.gauc pouch.

    Emerald dark cocoa roasted almonds--100 cal pack.

    Ice cream~Either Weight Watcher or Skinny Cow

    candy~Weight Watchers,sugar free Russell Stovers or Skinny Cow's newest chocolate candy line.I eat only 1 piece occasionally.
