My diet consists of homemade chicken salads pretty much! This steroid (medical prescribed) not the gym steroids .. lol makes it so hard to lose weight. Already lost 8 pds or so with this diet. But always crave snacks at night. Any healthy snack ideas other then veggies.....?

    Peanut butter is my favorite but I always end up eating too much of it then it's just straight up carbs! Awesome ideas

    just had a scoop of chocolate collagen protein powder, mixed with water for dessert- delicious, filling, great for your skin and 90 calories.

    I save 200-300 calories for ice cream or chocolate every night.

    Here in the UK, the supermarkets sell small (20g) bags of lentil crisps. They're similar carbs / fat / cal count per 100g to normal packets of crisps but as the bags are smaller you still get the feeling you've had a snack without having quite as big a portion to eat. I have a bag most weekdays with my lunch. A hard-boiled egg, a handful of nuts or a mini Babybel cheese are my other go-to snacks if I have spare calories.

    I'm eating more kale chips for calcium and drinking almond milk. I also like black bean hummus and raw unsalted pumpkin seeds for lower calorie options.

    Trader Joe's has chocolate hummus - 50 calories for 2TB. I dip apples in it. So good.

    So many great suggestions already. Can't think of anything else to add. My snack game is pretty bad because I've been doing intermittent fasting for a few years now, so I usually eat once or twice a day. I don't get hungry between meals (or ever) since I'm on the keto diet

    Don't diet. Fruit, veg, and nuts, and grains

    At least three of those four options can have quite a substantial number of calories if one isn't careful about portion sizes. Some vegetables aren't exactly low cal either.

    Why not smart popcorn? Just because you love something doesn't mean it's not healthy.

    ?? More fat than carbs, and roughly as much protein as carbs unless you're eating some sugar-added peanut butter. In peanut butter made from just peanuts and salt (or peanuts only, if that's what you want), about a third of the carbs are fiber.
