After I posted about my favorite snack, I checked the nutrition information on almonds, and holy cow! I never realized how much fat was in those little things!!

Pistachios aren't so bad - at least according to the package of the ones I bought.  If I can't get enough fat in my lunch, I just figure out how many pistachios I need to eat to make it up!

 OK, this is bad but I've found it cuts my cravingsa for sweets way down, so I am less inclined to cheat:

 - Those 100 calorie packs of Hostess Cupcakes! Those and a cup of hot cocoa a only 6 grams of fat and I'm finding I don't mind eating low fat the rest of the time when I know I an treat myself once a day and still be within my guidelines!

 - Grapes

 - Apple slices with fat free caramel

 - half a roast beef sandwich on multi-grain bread

 - 100 calorie bags of popcorn

1. Kashi Crackers - Ranch or Country Cheddar 18 crackers = 4.5 grams of fat

 2. Smart Ones desserts - Key Lime Pie, Mocha Brownie sundae mmmm...

3. Carrot/celery sticks with no fat ranch dressing as dip

4. Popcorn - cooked in a whirlypop, light drizle of metled butter, salt and pepper

5. Yogurt - I like stonyfield farms organic fat free chocolate

6. Low fat cheese strings

7. Pita wedges with red pepper hummus

8. Soy ice cream bars - Cuties

9. Sweet potato fries - I try to make enough to keep leftovers in the fridge, they microwave well

10. Grapes

 Quaker Granola Bites- chocolate flavor of course. only 90 calories and 3.5 g fat. 2g fiber

 Curves Chewy granola bars chocolate peanut. 100 calories3.5 g fat, 5 g fiber.

Weight watchers snack foods, carrot cake is good, 85 calories and i think 2.5 g fat

And seeing it is christmas time I love my chocolate covered cherries, they have dark chocolate peppermint flavor this year, can have 2 pieces 150 calories and 3 grams of fat.

also found some small candy canes 3 pieces equal 67 calories and 0 fat

and I  usually try to eat fruit for a snack also , apples, oranges, etc.

Thanks to everybody for the great ideas for snacks also. will have to try some of the ideas you guys have come up with.

Those chick peas are good added to a salad as well

 Try subbing the almonds with Multi Grain Cheerios. I love dried cranberries and take this to work often for a snack.

I might make it after all! I had a smoothie which really filled me up (surprise!!) and now all these wonderful ideas!

During Christmas I was having fudge, cheese popcorn, all kinds of snack mixes, cookies galore, and didn't think I could break that habit!

I think there might be hope for me!!

I do - I bought the drizzled chocolate ones today and there's only 1.5g of fat in one bar with 90 calories -

 Here's my snack list:

1.  PowerBar Performance Energize Step 1 - Chocolate - 1.5g fat and 9 g protein - they taste like chewy chocolate and are really good!  Hold me over for a few hours!!  They are $1.00 each this week at Fry's (Kroger) Grocery.

2.  Baby Carrots - sometimes with the no fat thousand island dressing (1 tblspn)

3.  Cuties - Tangerine - so sweet and small!

4.  Special K choc bar - YUM

5.  100 cal popcorn bag

6.  hot cup of low sodium and low fat chicken broth - sounds silly but you feel like you are enjoying soup - keeps you warm and is very tasty and filling for me.

7.  Banana with low fat PB

8.  Wheat thin harvest grain crackers - 13 of them - 4g fat and they are tasty - wish I could find lo fat cheese to go on them - any ideas?

9.  lo fat tortilla with a bunch of veggies and honey mustard (no fat too!)

10.  Just discovered lo fat Aunt Hatties wheat bread (2 slices) not even a gram of fat (.5g) and 30 calories - for TWO slices - Bors Head Honey Turkey is .5g (that's right not even a gram too) of fat and 40 calories (2 ounces) with tomato, lettuce and honey mustarrd (no fat) - here's a SANDWICH with 1 gram of fat and lots of veggies!  MY FAVORITE!

 Keep the ideas coming!

 I just tried the laughing cow light original swiss. It's only 2g fat and 35 cal per wedge. A little is all you need. Its so creamy. I like it with celery and carrots, too.

 1. Baked sweet potato chips (so fast and easy and GOOD)

 2. Celery spread with laughing cow lite swiss

 3. Fat free Pringles--sour cream and onion (14 chips is a serving I think..)

 4. Baked tortilla chips and homemade pico (I always have it on hand)

 5. Lettuce rolls (low fat or fat free lunch meat and fat free cheese rolled in lettuce leaf)

 6. Instant oatmeal

 7. Kashi harvest wheat, dry

 8. Raisins

 9. Bell peppers and hommus

 10. Yogurt with a few chopped peanuts
 

I would love the recipe!
