| I eat alot of organic food and I try to tell myself that the organic snacks are healthy... well they are healthier then snacks that are filled with artifical flavors. I really like the organic pop tarts and the organic oreos (by newmans own brand... I dont have the package I think they are called newman O's)

| Apples, tangerines, cucumber slices, rice cakes, turkey slices rolled in lettuce leaves, unsweetened applesauce in those little individual packs .... these have been some of my snacks lately ..... I am working at shedding some of me. I also make huge salads withjust the "free" veggies -- lettuce, tomato, green pepperm, cucumber, carrot, celery. Makes me think I am having a lot of food and none of it really has much in the way of calories. Add some low-fat swiss cheese, boiled egg, and turkey strips to get some protein.

| i started weight watchers two weeks ago, and doing great on the program. i sit at a desk all day long even though i'm a school nurse so i stress the importance of healthy snacks to the children. of yours your average, cheese, fruits and veggies.. but to be more specific you can do those tuna salad packs.. they come with tuna and crackers, a little salad would do, definitely if you want something small a banana is great for almost everything! those 100 cal snack packs are great too, little sandwhiches are great too. apple sauce.. goldfish snacks? lol .. ok that's all i could think of right now lol. |

| Almonds are a great snack to have on hand - so are grapes. I love celery w/ organic peanut butter...yum! I normally do not use salad dressing - but when I do, it is Newmans olive oil and vinegar. - and even then, I measure it. I heard you can still do ranch, but just dip your fork in it and then pick up your forkful of salad - this way, you get the ranch taste, just not a plate of "ranch" salad. Pringles has some new chips that are dried sweet potato chips - those might be good and healthy for you - I just seen the commercial.

| Almonds, peanuts, or any other kind of nuts are high in protien and fulfilling. |

I keep no fat chips - Lays, I think - I like the sour cream and cheese and the BBQ. I also keep Quakes - I like the new kettle corn flavor and the cheddar cheese flavor. I eat the 100 cal packs of kettle corn. I get really hungry for salty snacks, as you can tell. I've been on Weight Watchers too, for the past couple of months. I lost 35 lbs on WW about 5 years ago, then I gained back about 20 after my husband got sick and I just didn't handle the stress very well. I've lost 16 lbs this time and have about 6 to go.

| Dark chocolate is good for those w/ a sweet tooth - it is better for you than milk chocolate and it has been proven to help w/ headaches, etc. I heard that beans (just about any kind - canned or dried) are good for you - use in place of meats. Whole wheat/whole grains - pasta, breads, etc.
