What do you eat when you need to "snack"

I love pistachios, they aren't exactly low calorie, but they satisfy me so quickly that it doesn't matter.

Raw vegetables, fruit, kale chips, roasted chickpeas, freeze dried fruit, air-popped popcorn, single servings of nuts (it's easy to overdo these, but they can be nice and filling). Occasionally I'll eat pretzels or crackers too, but again, you have to watch the serving sizes. Veggies, and high-water fruits (e.g. watermelon) are your best bets, because it's hard to do a lot of damage with them. And gum helps too.

Zone Perfect Double Dark Chocolate or Dark Chocolate Almond bars are my favorite snack. They are 190 calories with a good protein-to-carb balance and are very filling (at least to me). Quick and easy.

Almonds. High fiber. Nutritious. They make me thirsty which makes me drink water. Which fills me up. Keeps me out of the candy machine at work.

I love those double chocolate!! I love the Zone Fudge Graham too!

I love your avatar! Go Iron Giant!!

Clementines or apple slices if I am just wanting something to mess with and eat...Wasa with hummus or a little cereal with almond milk if I want something crunchy and/or more substantial.

I will eat almost any snack if I am craving it. Sometimes I just crave a handful of Lay's potato chips (salt is my weakness) and will count out my 10 chips and eat them. I learned that I can have pretty much whatever, just has to be in moderation. Fortunately I don't crave the bad stuff very often, so opt to eat veggies, or special k chips.

If you need a naughtier fix.. go for baked cheetos, they rock!

Cucumber with salt!

Keeping a large bottle of water nearby at all times has really helped me with my oral fixation and to drink more water I also keep the folowing handy: small apples, baby carrots, gensoy chocolate soy crisps, cream brule or chocolate-mint quaker rice cake minis...really, my desk drawer has a large assortment of rice cake minis I get a strong urge for crunchy things, so all of those reall help!! When i need something salty or warm i grab some edamame from my freezer. Its a great quick fix. This is a great topic. I am getting many new ideas.

I love String Cheese and raw almonds!!

I like sunflower seeds (in their shells, so I can get the most enjoyment out of each one), low-fat string cheese, any small fruits that are in season, or sometimes small fruit snack packs from Healthy Helpings if I want something sweet

I have an oral fixation which is one of the reasons I am so fat!!! I have started chewing on straws, but it just doesn't cut it. Are there any low calorie snacks you like to munch on through out the day?

It takes 21 days to break or make a habit. Drink water, get up and move around, just anything to distract you long enough for the craving to pass.

Some theories hold that you get that urge if your body is low on something... Are you getting the right nutrition? is that causing it? If not, aim for eliminating empty calories, try for nutritionally dense foods.

Depending on the diet advice, you may want to fit snacks into a schedule. I know people that won't go 2-3 hours without eating some small thing to keep the body firing. Small amounts of nuts, or a fruit or something.

If you really think this is the problem - I'd vote to work on eliminating the behavior, not encouraging it by finding things you can snack on. You are here, so you are obviously motivated to make some change. You can do it! Set up a snack schedule so you have a snack (healthy and small) between meals... just tell yourself you can make it to the snack.

I used to smoke, I chew my nails, I have serious oral fixation. I KNOW what you're going thru. I also snack on the 100 calorie mini bags of popcorn. THEN, when I'm done with the popped ones, I actually chew on the unpopped kernals a couple at a time. Good for my cravings, bad for my TMJ.

Oral fixation could be a cause of iron deficiency. Maybe you need some lean red meat, or spinach in your diet.

If you want a no calorie crunch, chew on some ice cubes.

If you want something with flavor, seasoned edamame, sauteed sugar snap peas, air popped pop corn, or some dried salted laver does it for me.
