Does anyone know any low fat, low calorie, low sodium foods to eat for snacks? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

    hmm, airpopped popcorn, yogart, lite Hostess cupcakes, lite Hostes twinkies, and of the 100 calories items, of course fruit, I buy string cheese, chicken breast, (I eat allthe time for snacks, I cook several and keep in fridge), smoothie, with milk, yogart, fruit, a glass of choc milk, you can buy lower fat ones

    I would challenge you to add a fruit or veggie to every snack time. When I began here in June, I did not eat 1 pc of fruit or 1 veggie at all.....I hated fruit:noway: Yes I swear it gagged me!

    I love it now! Today I ate

    banana for breakfast
    apple slices for snack
    zuchini and yellow squash for lunch
    strawberries for snack
    huge salad for dinner

    It can be done. Just add something each day and before you know it you too will be eating fruits as a regular part of your diet!!

    You're awesome and your body thinks so also! Have you tried grilling some of your fresh veggies? A whole new taste comes out. I grill onions, garlic, fresh asparagus, egg plant, tomatoes... Spray grill with Pam or something first or use a grill pan, fish rack.. Prevents sticking and veggies falling thru the racks. I make kabobs all year long. All veggies or I add chicken, lean steak, shrimp etc... Best of luck to everyone on their weight loss journey and feeling our best! :wink: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :smile:

    Jeannie, I have you to thank for my new love of raw carrots. I would never even look at one before I tried hummus with them, thanks to you and your raving about it...

    I just tried grilled zuchs and squash last night! I have a George Foreman Grill.
    I cut the veggies in 4 long wise, sprayed with EVOO, sprinkled with garlic powder and light salt.
    Threw them on GFG and 4 min later YUMMO!

    My daughter was here with a friend so they had some too. So much fun to share good food with young ppl!

    * Now I just got to dare to try fruit on the grill. Bobby F. does a lot on the Food network. I'm going to try peaches and nectarines when they come in season.. Glad you shared with your daughter. I always ate healthy when I was young... I just eat too much! Oh, and then there is chocolate... :wink:
