    Plenty of snack options that aren't vegetables. I personally recommend Smoky BBQ Wheat Thins. Those are slammin'. You could also get a hold of some fresh deli meats and nibble at those if you're craving something, or even just reach for a bottle of water to keep you occupied until your next meal :)

    I'm not much of a veggie person either! lol and when I do eat them they have to be cooked in things I can't stand them on their own. ...

    I do however LOVE fruit, and have that as a snack a lot.. blueberry's are my personal favorite, I also eat a lot of strawberries since they are relatively inexpensive and only 49 calories per cup!

    100 calorie bags of pop corn are amazing! and so are sugar free fudgecicyles (sp?)

    I forget the brand name but apple straws are great... they kind of taste like taco bell's cinnamon sugar things, only they are much healthier for you... you get 38 of them for like 140 calories.

    laughing cow cheese on 35 calorie bread is great too.

    and I know that this is not healthy... but I'll have hot chocolate a lot as a snack if I'm really wanting something chocolatey

    As a snack I love yogurt with some granola mixed in.

    I also love hummus with pita chips. This may not count as hummus is made from chickpeas which are veggies.

    I also love a banana every now and then.

    What about popcorn? You can get quite a bit of snacking enjoyment out if it for a modest amount of calories. I would also suggest light yogurt, hard boiled egg, or cheese sticks.

    Also, try roasting the veggies. Roasted green beans, for example, seem very sweet and rich tasting to me - totally different that raw green beans.

    I have oatmeal with a half cup of blueberries or any other fruit. I use the Quacker Old Fashion oats. Too much salt in the instant packages. It is a good filler and is good for you. I also will have cinnamon roasted Almonds. 6 pieces of dried apricots. 6 pieces of cubed cheese , 6 ritz crakers and 10 grapes. I make them up in a zipock bag to take to work and in the car.

    See, you can still snack on those things. Stop dieting, start eating foods you love, just eat them in moderation. Screw it, one of my friends (ridiculously ripped guy) has a section in his diary for ice cream, eat whatever you want, just stay within your calorie range.

    That's actually right! Don't be too hard on yourself. I never had veggies for a snack. I would have them for lunch and dinner, but never for snack.

    My quick snack is string cheese or cottage cheese with some fruit mixed in like strawberries or blueberries. I also LOVE fruit cocktail with cherries and I'll mix a little cottage cheese in to fill me up with protein. Occasionally I'll have a hard boiled egg. I get bored with veggies as my snack. Love them with my meal or if I need something warm to eat but when I want a snack...I want a snack!!! LOL! Good luck!
