    I have plain rice cakes with peanut butter every day. But eating them plain isn't too tasty, just go for the flavored ones if that suffices.

    I have been eating puffed wheat crisps with taboule, hummus, or PB2. The crisps I have at home at 16 cals, but I saw bigger ones at the grocery store that were 20 cals.

    I love Quaker sweet chili mini rice cakes with some skinny cow cheese spread on them. Also I've been making fruit smoothies with a little ground up oatmeal. They are yummy! Hits the spot when you want ice cream. They are about 221 calories. Sometimes I use them for breakfast.

    What calorie range are you looking for?

    Usually I try to steer myself toward fruit first - that will definitely be under 100 cals - I like melon, pineapple, berries, an occasional apple. I'm not big into citrus. If I'm really hungry, I'll go for a banana.

    I tend to go for sweet more than salty, so I like granola bars - usually nature valley - one pack is under 200cals. They also make little granola thins with a chocolate coating that are under 100 - they're small, but very tasty.

    If I want something savory, I like a serving of hummus with a serving of pita chips - that's under 200, or for less calories, you could do the hummus on bell pepper strips, for under 100.

    Sometimes after dinner I'll go for 2 Dove Dark Chocolate Promises - about 90 cals.

    ETA - I also like a stick of string cheese - usually right around the 100 cal mark.

    Fiber one Brownies! 90 calories and 3 grams of fat..not bad for a fake brownie :wink:

    pickles! (the kind I buy are about 3 calories each and once I eat a few I'm full)
    cucumber (8 calories for half a cup, peeled, according to MFP)
    baby carrots! 35 calories for 85g. I usually can't eat more than the serving anyways, fills me up

    a little bit higher calories:
    apple sauce (unsweetened, like 50 calories if you get those lunch box cups)
    fruit cups (dole, 70 cals)
    thinsations - 100 calorie packets of your favourite snacks (oreos, chips ahoy, smartfood popcorn, sunchips, chocolate or yogurt covered pretzels) there are tons of different varieties and good if you really like cookies/chips/have a sweet tooth. I find with the cookie ones, sometimes I'm full before the end of the packet
    jell-o pudding - chocolate with no sugar added, a box makes 4 servings (you just mix and add milk) and its 80 calories a serving.

    my store sells these Korean wheat popper things, they're kind like rice cakes an they are so filling...can't find the info on them but I know they're not too high calorie...
    rice cakes - different flavours have different amounts of calories but there are tons to choose from, even smaller mini ones.

    A bit higher again would be arrow root cookies (150 cal for 5 cookies) or graham crackers (140 cal for 2 'full' crackers or 4 smaller ones), again its higher but its good if you have a sweet tooth.

    Also, fruit and veggies in general (though some may be higher calories than other) are a good choice for snacking!

    Cheese strings
    Hard boiled eggs

    If you need really low-cal... go with celery sticks with salsa.

    Another good option is mixing fat free vanilla greek yogurt (2 parts) to 1 part peanut butter. honey optional for sweetness. Use as a dip for celery, apples or (my personal fav) graham crackers. Quite the protein snack.

    Also cottage cheese with apple chunks and cinnamon...low fat string cheese and pretzels

    My vote for rice cakes and peanut butter too---one of my favorite snacky breakfasts. I don't eat either item by themselves but together they are yummy!

    A cucumber sprinkled with seasoned salt. Raw green pepper. I can (and usually do) eat both of these every day. In fact, going to go eat them right now!

    I also like a string cheese and a handful of raw almonds.

    Banana or apple smeared with a little almond (or peanut) butter can be around or less than 200 cals

    Trader Joe's Savory Thin Mini Sesame Rice Crackers (whatever they're called, most of those words are in the title) plain or with a bit of hummus or Laughing Cow cheese wedge(s). You get a ton of the crackers for like 130 cals.

    Caramel rice cakes with pb or ab
