    I'm having a hard time with snacks. The other day I bagged up individual portions of my favorite snack foods (sesame rice crackers, spicy doritos, pretzels, dried fruit, gummy bears) and put them in a basket by the kitchen door so I can grab them quickly when I'm on my way out or when I'm looking for something indulgent (when I've got the calories to spare for the day). I also have rice cakes (am I the only one in the world who actually likes them?) and plan on getting some granola to add to my yogurt cups.

    I love rice cakes with some honey on top!!!!!

    Also fruits and veggies make for great snacks (ants on a log is still a great treat! celery, peanut butter, and dried cranberries! YUM)

    I love the dark chocolate rice cakes.

    Also the Dark Choclate Almonds by Emerald are a favorite.

    I tend to have smoothies alot at night for snacks and for a midday snack it's usally carrots, peppers and hummus.

    Cottage cheese with pepper is a good midmorning snack for me.

    Sometimes at night it's a Thomas English Muffin with Almond butter... I am loving Almond butter.

    I just wanted to add... your question isn't stupid. You are trying to make a lifestyle change and it is hard to do.

    That's what this message board is for.. to help make the right decisions.


    I have also found reading books about nutrition (especially super foods) to be especially helpful.

    I have a cupboard full that the kids avoid. Mixed nuts, pistachios, dried apricots, prunes, dark chocolate. Then there's greek yogurt and berries, egg whites, veggies and hummus, cheese, fruit.
