I have been "dieting" since January. Some of my snacks:
-Apple with string chese
-Cottage cheese with a tomato
-Fat free hot dogs cut up in little pieces (you can put some mustard on for dipping if you like)
- Fresh fruit -- all kinds! Bananas are my favorite -- I have been finding these very little bananas lately and they are great as usually 1/2 banana = 1 serving -- but with those little ones, I don't have to deal with the remaining half or feel like I am cheating when I eat the whole thing.
- Craisins -- I love these! Cranberries made like raisins. Great on a salad too!
- Sugar free jello with a dallop of cool whip (you can get lite or FF)
- Sugar free/fat free pudding made with skim milk
- a Boca burger -- naked (no bun)
- Homemade trail mix (FF pretzels, nuts (I love walnuts or pecans but peanuts are okay too, raisins, craisins, some dried fruit of choice) -- I make this and then put them in snack size baggies so I don't over eat it.
- Popcorn (air popped is best but I usually just use the microwave).
- Soy chips (I have not found any that I like yet though)
- Melon (I try to keep a bag of ready to eat assorted melon in the fridge -- cantalope, honeydew, seedless watermelon -- sometimes I will add in some papaya or mango).
-Fresh veggie mix -- ditto on a zip lock of already cut up cauliflower, broccoli, baby carrots, green pepper, cucumber) -- I find if these healthy choices are already in the fridge, ready to eat, I will make better choices when the urge to munch comes along.
-South Beach breakfast bars.
- There are all sorts of low-cal frozen dessert bars to snack on now too -- like the Crystal Lite Cool & Creamy bars -- 50 calories
- I am on Nutrisystem and they have some good dessert/snack items. I am a chocolate pudding addict!
(My reward for staying on plan all day is to have a NS chocolate pudding for an evening snack).
I am down 36 pounds!
