Open face tomato with drained tuna on a bed of lettuce with a little salt and pepper or plain. 5. Marinated(light marinate) grilled chicken breast strips. You can grill several of them and put the strips in baggies. They are low fat and high in protien. 6. Raisens"

Jade_Michaels said: "I guess it depends on your idea of a sensible snacks? Low fat, low cal, low carb, low sugar or low fill in the blank. Some diet plans say no snacks at all. Just green tea between meals. So what do you consider sensible?"

leahsd said: "I like to boost my protein with some soy snacks... Smart dogs, 45cals and 9 grams of protein each. Soy crips, Roberts American gourmet makes really tasty ones, (good bye potato chips!) 110 cals per serving and 7 grams protein. And (non soy) Humus, you can dip carrots, or cucumber, or whole grain pita bread. This is a big fav around our house. The Humus runs about 50 cals per 2 tbs serving. Plus it adds fiber to your diet."

featherish said: "Heres a couple more. Rice or Popcorn cakes are always good. Lean Cuisines come in handy for a light lunch."

Elaine said: "Any kind of fruit. That is always good. I like cottage cheese with pepper in a pita. You can also put in some leaf lettuce, and chopped tomato or celery. Great as a light lunch."

Elaine said: "Thanks for that veggie dip recipe. I'll have to give it a try!"

helplesscase said: "Yup.......... :D"

cvalh said: "there are lots of popcorn brands out there that have very little or no stuff added, taste great, and are good for you. consider dividing the bags up into little zip-locks, so you have some to last multiple snacking sessions :-D with pretzels, be careful of salt intake, although they're still a great choice. another option is lowfat yogurt or frozen yogurt. both are yummy and are a good source of calcium."

UniqueMystique said: ".....for those who are low carb eaters....I saw this on tv a few days ago. Pork Skins with mustard. I never liked them plain or with salsa or dips.....thinking I'll try the mustard though...it's a different taste anyways. :)"

spectrachic311 said: "one of my favs is baby carrots with salsa. Or if that is too weird for you, baby carrots with some homemade YogurtDip: Mix a container of plain, nonfat yogurt with a packet of seasoning for a Sour-Cream-type dip. (I like the spicy ranch one from Hidden Valley). Now you have a tasty, tangy dip that is low cal and yummy."

This time of year, watermelon is an especially good snack. Mmmm. All of this is making me hungry! One of my favorite snacks is greek salad peppers. You can buy them in a jar. They're also great in salads (hence the name!). I know they don't have that many calories in them... I ate a whole jar once before I went to bed and I felt really sick... Err... Good snack in moderation, as with all things, of course!"
