Hummus and wasa crisps (3 large pieces are 60 calories)
Vitatop muffins
Cucumbers with hummus or low cal dressing
Celery with the same
sugar free jello and pudding cups
laughing cow cheese
Blue berries and raspberries alone or with yogurt or whip cream

Oh and if I really need a snack that feels really bad for you Michealinas (??) frozen dinners has a light version of pizza bites and buffalo bite ( I dont remember the calories but it's under 250 I think. I usually just do these when the boys (3 teens and husband ) are having snacks for a big game or something like that.

Red peppers, cucumber spears, carrots and cherry tomatoes to dip in low cal hummus
Berries!
Bananas
Non fat, low cal multi grain bread (toasted) and almond butter (3 points)
Veg soup - I make a pot of it each week using whatever fresh, no point vegs are available (0 points!)
Jolly time Healthy Pop popcorn (3 points for a whole bag!)
Good luck!

60 calorie pita, 40 cals of blackberry jam, 2 tbsp of powdered peanut butter (PB2). Peanut Butter and Jelly, all for 145 calories :)

I ALWAYS have a little bag of pistachios in my purse. They've come in handy sometimes!

Sometimes I'll have:
100 cal pack of PB2 thins
Protein Bar
Piece of fruit (usually a pear, banana, or apple)

I like bananas, apples, dried apricots, low fat popcorn, almonds, baby carrots, watermelon, non fat Greek yogurt, cherry or grape tomatoes, cucumber, Snapea crisps, Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Bars and Quakes Rice Snacks. Probably not all super low in calories but in moderation ok :)

fruit
veggies
hummus
apple chips, only ingredients are apples and cinnamon, be careful with dried fruits
Seaweed snacks, sesame flavor. 1 package is only 60 cal and fulfills the hand to mouth habit.
Mary's Gone Crackers, these are flax and whole grain crackers. Yum.

Green Giant makes these seasoned, single-serving broccoli carrot packages. They're delicious. Just microwave for a filling snack.

I don't keep snack food on hand. If I do I snack on it! I discovered a cunning trick to do instead...

If I get hungry before lunch or dinner time I make lunch (like today) but instead of eating all of it then (early) I eat half instead, then wait a while until I'm hungry again, usually a couple of hours, then eat the other half.

This method has been much better than snacking for me. It has significantly cut down my daily calorie intake over a regular basis and has kept me from getting hungry. For some reason it works.
