So, after work, I usually eat a snack. Lately, that snack has been nonfat yogurt. I bought some Fage, and it's amazing--but, 340g of yogurt is a lot of yogurt to eat, and I'm eating that much to get my calories for the day. Any suggestions on something a little sweet, but still good for you? I don't need cookies or anything--right now, yogurt and peanut butter is plenty sweet for me!

    How about strawberries? I just had some right now, can't believe how AMAZING they are :D Or, granola? Granola is delicious plain. My favorite snack is trail mix or dried bananas. Can't go wrong with those babies.

    I love grapes. If you keep them in the fridge so they stay hard, mmm. haha they're so good at solving my cravings for sweet things and you can even put them with the yoghurt :)

    All seasonal fruit or fruit salad

    Nuts but they're rich so eat handful a day and use different nuts each day so you don't get bored

    Dry fruits each time different kind - they're rich as well and contains concentrated sugar but it's easily digested

    Dry fruits, nuts and yoghurt breakfast bars

    Brie, Cheddar, Havarti or any fav cheese and wheat crackers - once a week they're rich as well

    Philadelphia cream cheese with carrots and celery sticks

    Mini muffins are low calories and moderately sweet without icing of course or savoury version with different vegetable base

    Mix and much above depend on your mood or cravings

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I ended up eating prugne con prosciutto cotto e provolone today.

    I eat a lot of baby carrots. They satisfy the need to chomp on something and will usually help stave off hunger pains until I can get dinner going. Also, they are very low in calories and full of good vitamins!
