I am a snacker and have been really good at cutting out my snacks for the past week. If I have the urge to snack, I'll snack on the 100 calorie snacks but allow myself only one a day, no more than that. What are your favorite weight loss snacks?
Not for weightloss, really, but healthful snacks I eat throughout the day....
1/2 avocado
carrots
string cheese
laughing cow cheese
almonds (raw)
tuna with a few crackers (you can buy the individual "kits"- the lowfat ones will only run you about 80 calories)
small apple with all natural peanut butter (very carefully measured- pb has lots of calories)
snap peas
Mary's gluten free onion crackers (15=120 calories)
Personally I do not find the 100-cal packs filling at all. With the exception of the 100-cal bags of popcorn, they are really delicious and there is quite a lot there. I also love apple slices with peanut butter, or if I don't have the cals for PB I sprinkle them with cinnamon. I like wheat crackers, and also cottage cheese (I eat a smaller portion of the real stuff because low-fat/fat-free cottage cheese is disgusting to me!).
Carrots
Celery
A veggie/fruit smoothie
Any fruit
A guilty pleasure is a piece of Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread with a bit of agave and sprinkled with cinnamon
My new favorite is the Fiber One granola bars. They have something like 35% of your daily fiber and taste ridiculously good for being healthy. Filling too.
Some others:
half a banana w/ pb
sugar free fruit pops (store bought or homemade)
pretzels and your favorite fruit
mini bagel w/ sugar free preserves or light cream cheese

* Fuji apple with laughing cow wedge or skippy natural's peanut butter
* Carrot sticks
* Small can of flavored tuna
* String Cheese
* Small Baked Potato w/Salsa
* Roasted and salted edamame from the Japanese restaurant
* Green bananas
I don't get the new obsession with 100 calorie packs. When did 100 calories become the magic "snack" number.
Dunno.
I always keep an apple on my desk for the afternoon munchies. Even if it's not what i'm i the mood for, I'll eat it first and then decide if I still want something else.
Other things I like to snack on:
sunflower seeds (no salt)
almonds (again, no salt)
string cheese
grapes (esp frozen grapes in the summer time)
whole wheat cheerios
edamame
popcorn
Fruit
Yogurt w/ berries or chopped fruit and 1/4 cup of All Bran
Popcorn
Crackers with a laughing cow wedge, deli turkey, and sliced cucumber
FiberOne bars
Spiru-tein Protein shakes made with almond milk (yum!)
If I need something sweet/baked good-like, VitaTops! Deep chocolate vita tops are the best craving killer anywhere.
