Replace with a protein like 1/4c Cottage cheese, or a hard boiled egg. Even Beef Jerky (beware of the sodium) or 1/3c almonds - these snacks will actually satisfy you and carry much longer than noshing on vegetables masked with high calorie/fat dressings.
This!!
And for the love of all that is holy DO NOT fill up on friggin' crackers and granola bars!
This and this...My favorite snack is almonds with some dried cranberries.0 -
Try Soylent Green. It's a tasty protein supplement. You can usually find it at Walmart, or try Google to find a local retailer.0

I think really crackers and granola bars are the way to go.
If I have 300 calories at the end of the night, I'll just have 3 or 4 100 calorie granola bars.0 -
Greek Yogurt.. So yummy! Chobani is my fav!0

1/2 cup of 1 % Cottage Cheese = 100 cal
1 oz (28 peices) Almonds = 170 cal
1 hard boiled egg = 70 cal0 -
Sliced apple dipped in 1 TBS of melted Peanut Butter - about 180 cals. (with Jif peanut butter)
oooh, snap! never thought to melt it!!! THIS is what i'm having later!!And for the love of all that is holy DO NOT fill up on friggin' crackers and granola bars!
Crackers are FULL of fat and empty crackers, and soooo easy to over due!
!! Yes indeedio - you can only have like 5 (never enough) and once the tasty salty carby goodness touches your tongue, you'll always overindulge, and crave more.0 -
do you like hummus? it is great with carrots and celery and you get some fiber, which you won't get with the dressing. Or Laughing cow cheese? Also good with veggies. Or if you are tired of those veggies entirely, cut up some tomatoes, cucumber, a little bit of onion. Pour a little white vinegar and salt and pepper and it makes a great little salad.
Love Hummus....might give that a try next week...but I like the vegetable salad idea too...
Thanks!0 -
Green and red pepper strips in hummus!
Now that sounds yummy!
Thanks!!!!0 -
sometimes i like "Mary's Gone Crackers" or Sensible Portions Salt and Pepper Straws as a snack with a lowfat yogurt dip or hummus. Costco had a mild jalapeno greek yogurt dip that was tasty. Also guacamole instead of ranch or you could make a low cal spinach dip that would be great hot or cold.
All marvelous ideas....
Thank you so much!0 -

so many choices...some strawberries and blueberries and fat free vanilla yogurt....i love pepper strips and hummus...orange yellow red, etc. also like zuccini and yellow squash raw strips with hummus, guac, or ranch (LIGHT)....I eat popchips when i am looking for a junk food fix...you get like 20 chips for only 120 calories. also popcorn does a great job of filling me up. i eat mini babybel cheeses and some pickles for a quick snack when i am in a hurry. fiber one bars and some fruit usually hold me over in the afternoons too. snap peas and hummus...omg yum or dipped in a light dressing.
All great ideas!
Thank you!0 -
Switch up the ranch to hummus! I love spicy hummus and carrots or snap peas. Edamame, almonds, pistachios, cherry tomatos, grapes... Lots more than veggies and ranch!0
