I am trying to find snacks that healhy, low in calories but at the same time taste good.
Any advise on what to snack on? I like to snack throughout the day and in between meals ( I sit at a desk which can become pretty boring). I dont want to snack on chips or anything out of the vending machine...

Try some nuts,stick pretzels,popcorn-no butter. Portion them out so you can monitor the calories.0

^^ This0 -
I like wafer thin ham - with pretty much anything, red peppers, mushrooms, rice cakes, cucumber and lettuce.
And I LOVE oranges - but these can be a bit tricky to eat at a desk, a tangerine might be better0 -
Celery, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, all fresh fruit and veggies. Veggies are better because of the lower sugar counts, but definitely all better than most snacks.0

I used to eat baby carrots but now stick to regular sized ones...my daughter went on a field trip to a farm and the farmer told us how they make baby carrots =yuck! it's actually normal carrots, cut to look like baby carrots and then they add dye....best to cut a big carrot into slices, or circles for variety...I like to add hummus...there's low fat variety of it. And there's protein in it.0
