    For me I have found a few things I like that are tasting and low calories/sodium. My staple snack is Dannon Light & Git yogurt 80 calories, tasty, quick. In the mornings I like Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix (Fruit & Nut) quick tasty 140 calories a bar bought big box at Sam's club. The other two are when I crave chips they are called Garden Veggie Straws or Chips you get a nice size portion for only 130 calories. My favorite is Janes's Cholesterol Free, Lightly Salted, Low Carb Popcorn yummy with nice portions 130 calories. I also by fresh fruits and make fruit salad to snack on put time consuming to make. I also love organic Cherry tomatoes.

    Hope that helps and good Luck !

    Goldfish crackers- You get like 43-55 crackers a serving depending on which one you get.. I like Pretzel, Whole Grain, and the Xtra Chocolate ones for that sweet craving.
    Popcorn is good
    Cheerios

    cheese sticks - just make sure to read labels

    matchstick cut carrots - i like these b/c you can do the "hand to mouth" eating and not worry about it

    Snyders mini pretzels - so yummy and so low cal

    cucumber slices - perfect on a hot day

    beef jerky - again watch your labels, but it can really help as a quick protein

    when i need to feel like i'm having something sweet and sinful:

    skinny cow

    lindt dark chocolate truffles - 70 cals each and so delish!

    endangered species chocolates - low cal, ethically traded, organically grown and proceeds go to different charities - good for my mouth, my weight and my planet, needless to say i'm a fan! lol


    `~~ edited b/c i can't speel. lol

    Tuna is very healthy and even mayo can be worked into your cals. You can use light mayo if you want, but I prefer real mayo. I eat tuna salad on lettuce wraps with tomato and avocado. You can also do chicken or turkey salad if you get sick of tuna. I've also used plain greek yogurt instead of mayo and it's quite delicious.

    I'm a snacker too, but have to have portion controlled items, like almonds if it's a big bag I eat way to many so single serving pouches keep me in check. It's a little lore expensive, but it keeps me in check!

    These are some great ideas - thanks to the OP for putting this up; I've gotten some new ideas for myself.

    My usual go to snacks if I'm on the go is either an apple, a banana or one of the Special K snack bars (or a Quaker Oats snack bar).
    If i'm at home, one of the above, or air popped popcorn.. tomato w/ some olive oil drizzled and some Pampered Chef Italian Seasoning, Cottage Cheese w/ a dash of pepper, yogurt or a tablespoon of peanut butter on some a single piece of whole wheat bread.
