    I personally really like to eat the Luna Protein bars...they really seem to keep me full in-between meals. I also have found that snacking on fruits and veggies is much more filling than those 100 calorie pack things they sell.

    I have recently bought these new snacks made by smartone from walmart. They are very tasty and they are only 110 calories. They have various kinds. For example; key lime pie and strawberry short cake. You should try them they are so good, and the best part about them are you get 4 in a pack for only $3!!
  • I swear by Weight Watchers String Cheese sticks. I have 2 almost every day! I love carrots and celery sticks. You can add Hummus or low fat ranch for dipping. I get Sensible Portion garden veggie sticks at Sams Club and make individual portions in baggies. I like low fat/no fat/no sugar jello and pudding cups. I do best if all my snacks are in individual portions that I can just grab and go and get away from the fridge.

    I have taken to apples with Oscar Meyer turkey wraps. It's just an apple cored with slices of turkey wrapped around it. Also Quaker mini rice cakes

    half a cup of cucumber salad (i make that stuff in bulk! its only 4 ingredients and super low cal)
    a boiled egg
    protein shake
    turkey (deli meat style, buy the low sodium kind!)

    all of these are under 100 calories.

    I've started to like eating a small container of jell-o (only 25 calories) as a snack. Sometimes I eat a Luna bar, or a container of yogurt. Rice cakes are also good, ans as someone else said, fruit is always a good option :)

    i use fruit as a major go-to, string cheese is also fantastic! nuts are great too but you HAVE to count them and they are easy to over-do if you snack mindlessly. I really like Nature Valley Trail Mix bars too, they're easy to keep in the car for emergency hunger strikes (and 140 cals), i really like veggies too so carrots, peppers and cucumbers are my go-to easy veggie snacks (and you can cut a few of each up once per week and put them in baggies for quick snacks)... i like hard boiled eggs too, but if you're watching cholesterol you have to cut out the yokes... hope these ideas help!

    I have a BIG sweet tooth so I like to freeze: blueberries, apples(in small chunks), red grapes, etc . Then for sweet craving have like a cups worth usually 60-90ish calories conservatively, then I just sorta savour them until they melt. It takes a while to eat them so you feel like you are eating more! Also, I swear by the preflavored oatmeal packs, I add a lot of water and its hot/filling!

    Saltwise, I like popcorn (watch the fat, if you airpop you can get away with quite a bit), and if I'm feeling pretty hungry I will make a chicken sausage (150 cal, a litttle high in sodium, but scrumpicious), or an egg white sandwich: 1 slice toasted bread, 1 light laughing cow, and 3-4 egg whites.

    I have to commute a lot to school so I always bring a bag of baby carrots, celery, sliced bell peppers, and sugar snap peas to aimlessly munch while I drive!
