I think almonds are my Secret Weapon Food. I snack on almonds and the Binge Monster stays at bay. Skip almonds and I turn into Chris Farley in that sketch on SNL when he's dressed as an overweight woman on a diet shoveling fries in her mouth. "LAY OFF ME I'M STARVING!" OMNOMNOMNOM

    No sugar added fudge pops. Only 40 calories for a great chocolate fix.

    Light string cheese and carrots. Maybe grape too. Opps I am hungry so I may just start naming foods I wish I could eat right now.

    Apples have been my go too lately as have carrots.

    I'm pretty bad at snack ideas truth be told.

    Nature Valley Strawberry yoghurt bars, or activia yoghurt. Maybe green apples? I spend all day snacking, and these are my main choices.

    The bump thing is so that the thread stays in the top recent threads and doesn't fall off the front page.

    My secret weapon foods are peanut butter and apples.

    The bump also makes it easy to find topics you posted in - click My Topics at the top of the page and it you can see where you've been, and get back to conversations or posts you wanted to follow up on. :smile:

    Celery, I'm always munching on a stalk or 2. Also herbal teas. I find they can just hit that spot.

    Chocolate PB2 mixed with about a tbs of 2% milk and a little fat free cool whip. This soothes the late night snack monster.

    Homemade popcorn. Very filling and low calorie.

    ETA: also, 80-cal snack cheeses. For some reason those really take the edge off.

    Tangelos. I get two baskets of them every week at the Farmer's Market. They are super sweet. I eat one when I get sugar cravings and it keeps me on track. I go nuts if I don't have them in my house.

    pretzel sticks... you get to eat a lot of them for not many calories, and they're salty, so they really satisfy this salty-snack-loving gal :) keeps me from going to the convenience store and getting chips. the pretzels have the same effect on my husband, too, so we've started trying to keep them on hand more.

    i also like the vegan boca burgers. very satisfying, quick to prepare, and only 70 calories. i eat them as snacks.
