I'm a snacker. I like to eat something every 2-3 hours. In between my main courses, I'll eat a snack that is no higher than 150 cals. I'm looking for more ideas.

Here is what I eat or usually eat:
celery (with honey mustard or peanut butter.)
kashi bars
special k bars
rice cakes with cheese wedge
low-fat yogurt
grapes
clementines
fuji apples

I've done more, but I can't think of any at the moment.

I just don't want to get bored with my snacks. Also, I work at an office so it's gotta be something I can prepare in advance, or sonmething that doesn't take that long.

Thanks!

    If your stores sell Joseph's Pita Bread that is a great low cal/carb food. I cut into wedges, bake and make my own "chips" for hummus and salsa. Only 60 cal and 4 carbs and I usually get 16 wedges.

    Laughing cow or Babybel cheese, string cheese
    Veggie dip made from Greek yogurt instead of sour cream -- packet of ranch or Italian dressing mix or Cuginos makes some great ones
    Hummus
    Tzatziki
    Salsa
    Protein shakes/pudding (I use Wonderslim, the mocha and chocomint are great)

    I'm a major snacker too - they're usually my biggest "meal" of the day! I like string cheese, Clif Kid Z bars, and whole wheat toast; they usually fill me up for a while.

    I also work in an office, so I try to bring some snacks to work - here's what I usually bring (I love salty/crunchy, so I focus on that).
    Also I prepackage everything either the day i bring it home from the store or the night before. A serving of pistachios - so good in the afternoon and i eat less since I have to shell them; a low-fat chocolate pudding cup; Pepper Ridge Farms baked cheese crisps. I'll have to take some of your ideas too! Happy New Year!

    Go to the produce department.

    Fill a bunch of those little clear bags with things.

    Eat them (without dips, toppings or 'crutches').

    Pretty soon, you may start to enjoy them that way! :tongue:

    I like to snack on baby carrots with non-fat ranch dressing, microwave popcorn in those 100 cal snack bags, deli-sliced ham or turkey, or non-fat cottage cheese.
