What are some good snacks?

I have the munchies at night. I fight it hard. I can go all day and not want to eat. I am not hungry and I am not thinking about food.

Then night time comes, and I still not hungry but the head hunger sets in. I eat sf jello or a sf  fudgsicle, but that takes all of like 5 min and I am looking for something else to snack on.

So what are some good snacks that you've found that don't make the scale go up? I need some new ideas! Thanks!

A couple of healthy snacks that I love are:
-  almonds
-  raisins

Enjoy!

i like grapes. they are so sweet and low calorie. you can eat some and later eat some more of them and not do your calorie count any damage. also like roasted pumpkin seeds. they are salty and while kind of high calorie they have protein and are filling. D

You know I was thinking about pumpkin seeds. I can't find them around here. They have the ones that are coated in thick salt and not shelled and I don't like that kind. I believe the brand is David's?

Where can you find just the seeds without the shell?

VSG on 05/04/09 with
Pepitas they are called!  Do you have an predominantly Hispanic area of products of your grocery store?  We have some there, or like at Whole Foods, I know they have them, or a fancee grocery store.

i got pumpkin seeds (pepitas) at a discount grocery outlet of a brand called squirrel tree. they were smokey tasting and ready to eat and great. I have seen them in other places and for sure you can find them at a health food store if not a hispanic market or regular grocery store. key is getting good fresh ones. i have purchased them in bags at gas station convenience stores and found them to be rather stale. thats why a health food store might be a good option. sure fills the bill for a crunchy salty snack and a small amount is pretty filling. the only ones i have seen are without any shell and ready to eat.

Ok, I'll probably gross everybody out with my weird foods, but you asked, lol! I'm a night time snacker, too. What I CRAVE are M&Ms (which my skinny husband eats by the handful) or other sweets, but what I eat (most of the time) are:

celery dipped in light ranch dressing
pumpkin seeds
kim chee
other pickled veg, like string beans or asparagus
regular dill pickles dipped in ranch dressing
smoked oysters (which my hubby says give me "kitty breath" but I like 'em and they're pure protein)
sometimes I'll do a little cheese and meat if I'm really hungry, not just peckish
one of my shrimp soups

Surgar Snap Peas......100 cal popcorn.......a serving or two of dry Go Lean or Fiber One cereal.  Surgar snap peas are the best choice......

If I eat at night it's usually 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or protein hot chocolate.

I need to try smoked oysters. I live on the coast and everyone eats oysters. They look so disgusting
but people say they are good.

Can you make protein hot chocolate cause the kind you order online is expensive for not many packages.
