You sound like me, I have similar tastes, this all sounds great to me!0 -
Bump-I need some ideas myself.0

Cool Whip, Slim Jims, & String Cheese
I actually do not think Cool Whip is a healthy snack. It's whipped oil and the sugar free one is all chemicals. Real cream...for the win!
String cheese, yes of course.
And there's better beef jerky out there (even Trader Joe's brand if you're looking for inexpensive jerky).0 -
i like the quaker 100 calorie granola bars, the yoplait light key lime pie yogurt (i used to hate it...love it now), chiboni champions greek yogurt(its for the lil kids...but always filling to me), or a hardboiled egg.0

Gah! No, not another Cool Whip answer!!
Here's some info:
"Here’s what whipped cream is made of:
cream, sugar.
You can make it at home in 5 minutes. Your 10 year old can do it too.
Here is the ingredient list for Kraft’s Cool Whip:
Water, Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Coconut and Palm Kernel Oils), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Less than Two Percent of Sodium Caseinate (from Milk), Natural and Artificial Flavor, Xanthan and Guar Gums, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Monostearate, Beta Carotene (Color).
Whoa. What’s going on here?
As usual, the fat is out, the fillers come in. Take some water, mix in xantham and guar gums as thickeners, hydrogenate some oils to make them semisolid, add lots of sweet, and cover it all up with artificial flavors to resemble the original.
All this maneuvering to reduce the calorie count.
Bravo!?
Disgusting." - source Fooducate.com0 -

Ostrich jerky from GNC is the best! 80 calories and 14g protein. I also love to do fresh veggie stir fry and put it in small tupperware for my snacks (cabbage, bellpeppers, carrots, onions, celery, water chestnuts, bamboo, and shrimp with jalepenos, lite soy sauce, seasoning, and fish sauce). Fresh ingredients makes it crunchy and deeeeeelish! Make an entire wok of this and split it in small portions.0

Bare Fruit Organic Apple Chips!
29 calories per serving and they're wicked crunchy, so they satisfy that need for a crunch. I have 2 lbs of them shipped automatically each month from Amazon...LOVE THEM! They also make cherry chips, mango chips, and pear chips...each equally as awesome.0 -
Lately, I've been making my own high-protein (24g), low-sugar (3g) no-bake brownies. The last batch I made was Maple Banana Hazelnut topped with a Greek-yogurt, Cream cheese, Raspberry glaze: 194cal; 24g protein; 8g carbs; 3g sugar; 2g fiber; 6g fat. Without glaze, its a mere 147cal per brownie.0
