    I love almonds and nut butters, but simply eat too much of them if not careful. I think I could live off peanut butter.

    Cherrios and 1/2 cup of skim milk-not bad.

    Apples have a little soluble fiber, so there is a benefit to eating those for your cholesterol. Berries are usually good, Strawberries especially. Watch out for bananas, they are deceptively high in calories in comparison to oranges and apples.

    Probably my favorite" junk" snack is a mini microwave bag of popcorn. I have one that has about 160 calories and it really feels like you're eating something.

    If you like yogurt, best bang for the calorie is 2% unflavored greek yogurt. It has tons of protein and is thick, creamy and filling. I just don't like unflavored yogurts, but the flavored varieties have quite a few more calories. I discovered crystal lite lemonade sprinkled in it makes it taste just like regular lemon yogurt- you can even throw in some fiber one cereal (the one that looks like rabbit food) for some crunch.

    I get wasabi peas. Not the best, but you can have a 1/3rd cup for 130 cal! I also get diet swiss miss (not exactly a snack, but it's a must-have) animal crackers (the kind in the BIG bag) are 16 for 100 cal and pretty filling, low fat grahm crackers, if you like gummi snacks look for Buddy Fruit (it's in the produce section at my local Wal-Mart) taste similar but are 100% fruit and 90 cal a packet. :D

    Agreed!! Very low cal with hummus. Carrots have some sugar though...
    I love hummus with pretzels or baby carrots. Also like apples with peanut butter as well.

    The Today had a clip about low calorie snacks that suggested filling the inside of an egg white with hummus for a low calorie snack (like you would a deviled egg). I think I might try it.

    I love fat free (or low fat) cottage cheese with grapes.

    The Fiber One bars are really good too, especially if you're on-the-go a lot! Someone's mentioned the brownies, but I think the oatmeal/chocolate drizzle ones are best, imo!

    Honey Crisp apples will always be my number one favorite snack. So juicy and sweet, with the perfect amount of tartness! ;-D

    I also like to pop whipped yogurt in the freezer - voila, delish fro-yo!

    Try mixing some cinnamon and sweetener (I use a packet of Truvia/Stevia) into the cottage cheese and then adding a diced up Honey Crisp apple. It's friggin' amazing!

    Your suggestion, sir, has blown my mind.
    It IS friggin' amazing!
    :D

    Kashi- Trail Mix Bars are amazing!
    Pirates Booty Aged White Cheddar Corn Puffs are delish
    Nuts & Dried Cranberries (just be careful to measure out a serving size)
    Frozen Grapes
    Apples & Peanut Butter (again measure the PB)
    Celery & PB
    Wheat Thins, String Cheese & Tomatoes (check under my recipes)-

    Triscuit cracked pepper and olive oil crackers, carrots, original shredded wheat, pickles are a great thing to have when you want zero calories and are starving.

    Last year someone on MFP turned me on to Special K Cracker Chips. 30 chips = 110 calories. Many flavors, too.

    These are my favorites but keep in mind I am a dirty eater.

    1/2 Jello Sugar Free pudding (I use the mix and use 3 cups of milk instead of 2 to make more)
    Walmart honey braided pretzel twist 10 for 110 cal
    Wheatabless Honey Wheat Crackers
    Smoothie (6 oz strawberries, 4 oz greek god yogurt, 1-2 oz of milk)= about 135 cal
    Open faced sandwich on 100 cal sandwich thins (only 50 cal when open faced)
    grapes (3 cal a piece)
    Skinny Cow or Weight watchers ice cream.
    I buy 1 dark chocolate Hershey bar a week. 3 squares is about 45 cal. Sometimes I use my cheese grater to shred it in yogurt or smoothie.
    Cereal!! Kroger brand apple dapples (apple jacks) are 100 cal per cup or their cookie cereal is 120 cup and I use 2 oz of milk (only about 35 cal)
