I have 2 snacks a day, they are either fruit or yoghurt. I only have 2 because i tend not to eat anything after 6pm and i have my dinner just before then so i don't want anything else. :D

| My favorite snack - hands down - is carrot sticks, celery sticks, or sugar snap peas dipped in spicy hummus. It is super yummy and super healthy. I also just eat fresh fruit or veggies as a snack. My most unhealthy snack would have to be pita and hummus, but I have that very rarely -- I prefer baby carrots.

| One of my favorite snacks would have to be snack size 100 calorie bags of microwave popcorn!!! Otherwise, I love yogurt, carrot sticks, prunes (yes, I really like them a lot), almonds, a hand full of fiber packed cereal, apples, oranges, and special k cereal bars... just to name a few.:)

Wow, some of those sound so good!
My snacks usually tend to be unhealthy, but not in lrage portions: serving of potato chips, marshmallows 1-2 melted in the microwave, miniature candy bars...I definitely need to invest in some of these healthier options!

I have 2 or 3 snacks (really small meals) per day. One of them is always a slice of chocolate/banana oatcake, the recipe for which you can find in the Veggie recipe section of these forums.
Happy chomping!

I usually have 2 snacks.........1 between lunch and dinner and one at night.
Usually a protien powder shake in the afternoon and the 94% fat free popcorn at night
Heres a low-cal alternative to an american favorite....................Try this grilled cheese sandwich for a quick pick me up:
2 slices of reduced calorie bread (100 cal.)
2 slices fat free cheese (50 cal.)
Pam cooking spray.
Spray pan and one side of each slice of bread with a 1/3 second spray.....Grill sandwich on both sides until toasted. Great sandwich for only 150 Calories and 1 gram of fat. And the cheese melts well for being fat free.
