    Frozen red grapes- YUM!

    We always have them in the freezer in summer. Who knew they were so good?

    We also like sugar-free jello (60 cal) with some fat free topping. I buy the cups because I have trouble with portion control.

    I have two very tiny squares (8 is a serving) of very dark Scharffen Berger chocolate. I eat them very slowly. I'm not supposed to have them on the 17 day diet so it makes me feel like a rebel.

    So Awesome! :tongue:

    Yogurt is a good snack because it has protein to help fill you up but if you're craving something crunchy, I like Blue Diamond Almonds Dark Roasted Chocolate, Dry Roasted Salted Edamame, Mini Rice Cakes in Sweet Chili flavor or Salt & Pepper or even Light Lays Potato Chips. I sometimes even eat Chocolate Cheerios & PB Cheerios together for a Reese's cereal like snack!!

    Studies have shown that people with the proper macronutrients lost more weight when eating carbs at night!

    Have a bowl of cereal!

    Thats what I do!

    Today I found Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds in a box of 100 calorie packs at Target. You get nuts for protein and the wonderful taste of chocolate (cocoa actually) to satisfy your sweet tooth.

    100 calorie cocoa roasted almond packs
    100 calorie microwave popcorn

    I usually have a chocolately protein bar in the evening after I work out. It's like my dessert treat for the night. And I don't feel bad
    because I just worked off the calories for it.

    :wink: I usually have 1/2 c peanut butter cheerios and 1/2 c chocolate cheerios with 1/2 c 1% lactose free milk.. so delicious, I look forward to it everyday! (I only let myself have it on days I work out in some way, so that it motivates me to actually get my butt going).

    Granny Smith Apple bake it sprinkle with a packet of sweet n low and cinnamon.
    I've done this but with Splenda brown sugar blend and a little spray butter. It adds some calories but so good.

    I love the sugar free Jello. My favorite! I have trouble with the portion control also. I also like the sugar free Mousse Temptation things!

    I'm a sweets person:

    1 half frozen banana cut into thin slices (you could use a whole one, I make a small serving)
    1/2 TBS natural peanut butter
    1 TBS dark chocolate chips

    blend the frozen banana and peanut butter in a food processor until has a consistency between ice cream and frozen yogurt. then mix in the chocolate chips.

    omg that soundsd amazing!!

    I snack on dark chocolate sometimes however I find it hard not to keep going back for more! I eat dark chocolate with acai berry :) so good.
    I also snack on polish dill cucumbers from the jar. Not sure how good they are for you though lol
    I drink a lot of green tea. I think it helps with the cravings. I also drink a lot of water as I have heard many times that thirst can be confused with hunger!
    Other suggestions would be protein bars.
    I'm usually pretty well controlled though after dinner. It was hard not to snack after dinner but I've made myself become used to not snacking. I went through a stage where I was constantly snacking after dinner but challenged myself to stop and now I hardly snack.
    It's just through out the day that is killing me! haha
