    I like to mix yogurt with Fiber one cereal and sometimes fruit. I also like the Pure Protein bars....20 g of protein and 180 calories. PB2 peanut butter is powdered peanut butter. 3 tbls is 68 cal, and put it on one slice of 40 cal bread with sugar free jelly.....a little over 100 cal and very filling! Good luck!

    i've been eating a whole pint of Arctic Zero for like 40 mins now. it's only 150 cals for the pint and if you let it melt a little bit it actually tastes like real ice cream! the vanilla maple flavor is really good. peanut butter chocolate is disgusting. cookies and cream is pretty good.

    protein bars. Luna is great. Nutz over chocolate is 190 calories.

    I'm agreeing with Luna bars. I've always got one in my purse or my gym bag and they keep my super full! Plus since I don't eat a ton of meat, I have trouble meeting my protein count by the end of the day, so Lunas help me offset that.

    If you haven't gotten into Kale Chips yet, trust me its a diet must! Making them at home on your own is super simple and they feel like such the bad junk food... they are like potato chips and you can't stop eating them when you make them. Now - making them on your own takes a little bit of work but they are much cheaper this way.

    For starters if you've never had them before, take a stop at a Whole Foods near you and pick up a couple of bags of "Rhythm Superfoods - Kale Chips" (two of my absolute favorite flavors are Bombay Curry and Zesty Nacho). Both have a nice kick to them and believe me, when you crunch on them they are totally addictive and you almost feel guilty for eating them. But take a look at the label and you'll be throwing yourself a party! I will admit, they are on the expensive side, but it's well worth it to try them out.

    If you like either of the aforementioned premade flavors, you can also make these at home almost exactly like they make them with just a teency-bit of recipe tweaking (pertaining to adding some specific dry seasoning to make them taste like Rhythm premade) using a base recipe I found on Youtube for Kale Chips by a gal with a tagname of RawRadiantFoods (to find her type than tagname and also type Kale Chips into the search box)... and also of course, there's a million kale chip recipes online to suit all different flavors, styles and levels of simplicity (they really are a total diet must have)! For me personally, I always have Kale in the fridge waiting for me to turn them into some form healthy junk food and I'm always making different flavors and types so there's no chance it will get old!

    Also, here's a neat little take on air popped popcorn... take you favorite flavor hommus (I like Cedar's Garlic Lovers and Artichoke-Kalamata Hommus ) and serve yourself up a portion of it to your liking in a dish. Then once your air popped popcorn is ready, dip the popcorn individually or in small bunches in the hommus and its delish... a great substitute for pita chips without a huge overage on carbs!

    Keep up the good work, you can do it!

    Kale chips. Easy to make and good for you.
    Baked garbanzo beans. You season them and cook them in the oven until crunchy
    Sweet potato chips
    Carrot chips are great too if you have a mandolin to cut them nice and thin and then bake till crunchy.

    What all do you put on your garbanzo beans? How do you cook them? Thanks

    I'm curious about the garbanzo beans as well ~ Love them, so I am always looking for new ways to prepare them!!! Also love sweet potato chips, the Good Health Natural Foods Kettle style ones with sea salt are awesome!!!!!

    My favorite thing to eat for a snack is cinnamon roll flavored oatmeal. It tastes delicious, and is high in fiber and protein. And it cures my sweet tooth, also.

    all great ideas - also you might just want to try drinking some water first to see whether you're hungry for food or just dehydrated!

    I like Ryvita crsipbreads, Carr's Cheese melts and Speculoos biscuits! Almonds are good - you only need a few to feel satiated!

    Good luck!

    if you're looking for seriously low calorie and pretty filling...try raw celery dipped in yellow mustard. Sometimes I even add a packet of Equal to my mustard to give it the 'honey mustard' taste:)
