    I like plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with fresh berries or a diced pear, a Tbsp of peanut butter and a banana or a Think Thin protein bar as my daily snack (150-250 calories). I also usually have 1-2 pieces of dark chocolate (Ghirardelli square or Hershey's kisses) to satisfy the chocolate craving. Sometimes a cup of light Swiss Miss hot chocolate with a bit of whipped cream also does the trick.

    Apple with PB2 or apple cut up in small pieces, 2t sugar&cinnamon on top and microwave. Comes out soft, warm apple pie like (minus the crust). Or Greek yogurt.

    Special K protein bar. 12 grams of protein 170 calories. Some fiber, too.

    Fiber One snack cakes. 5 grams of fiber, 90 calories.

    A serving of apple, baby carrots, celery and peanut butter... A cup of applesauce, some cheese...

    And sometimes I just say the heck with it and have a handful of Swedish Fish. (Of course I log them and do stay on track... Usually)

    I eat bananas, apples, trail mix or have a homemade smoothie for my snacks. I also like microwavable vegetable packs.

    My husband thought I was crazy last night when I heated up some black beans as a post-dinner snack (I was hungry, and carbs were the only macros I had left for the day).

    For a grab-and-go snack . . . I find almonds (or any nuts) very filling. Just keep an eye on how many you can have to fit your targets, since they can add up.

    A small amount of nuts and clementines are my go-to. Also, plain popcorn if I just have a craving to eat.

    The only snack I have is about 4pm every day before I leave for work. This helps the binging issues I had after I got home since my husband worked later.
    My RD has me eating about 150 cal of carbs+protein. This week I have been doing half a serving of sea salt and pepper rice crackers, one regular Babybel and a single piece of dark chocolate.
