  • Quote: When I snack, it's usually raw vegetables or fruit or yogurt. Anything else *for me* is too risky, especially nuts. (and CRACKers) Nuts are delicious, nutritious, have loads of Omega 3 fatty acids, but I can't control myself with them. They have SO many calories for so little volume. I CANNOT stop with one serving. I would say nuts would be the perfect food for those struggling to get all their calories in for the day...or a person who has iron clad portion control...lol
    Lori - I have a hard time with nuts too even though I love them and they are healthy. Recently I found 100 calorie packs of raw almonds that are great. I'm able to enjoy almonds again and not overdo it by having a huge open container.

  • I will throw out something totally crazy, how about no snacking. I gave up snacking sometime ago and it has really helped in calorie control and meal enjoyment. It is also a rather new phenomena in our evolution. Some cultures don't even have a word for it such as France. It has freed up time as well as money.

    Best wishes on whatever you choose to do.
  • Depending on my mood:
    * Full Bites Bold Cheddar - 150 calories ... but they really fill you up!
    * Frigo light string cheese - YUM!
    * Dark Chocolate Mousse Temptations by Jello (I don't know how this can be sugar free!)
