Can anyone give me ideas for snacks, please.  I work 12 hr shifts, sitting in a chair.  I nibble periodically thru my shift, especially on nights.  I have been eating alot of fresh fruit lately but I think that is sabotaging my efforts to get back on track.  I have tried making protein bars.  OMG they are yummy but I find that my craving for chocolate is increased when I eat them.

Well I just found out that the healthy ones deli meat 4 slices has 10 g protein and only 60 calories. Pair this with a string cheese and it is an excellent snack. I will be pulling the string cheese into 4 sections and wrapping the meat around the cheese. I have in the past done this with pickle spears in the center with meat wrapped around it.

I am going to go hunt down old food logs and find some snacks.

I also used to make beef jerky. It was something I could chew and chew and chew and that helped my cravings for food.

I just pulled out the can of chike protein and put it on the counter. So much for clean counter tops. I need my stuff where I can see it and will use it.

 I find protein bars have far to many calories and carbs.  

I would also love to see some other snack ideas. I am going to go peek around cardio/cafe posts for ideas.

Chris,
I do celery w/hummus.  T.J.'s has a lower carb peanut butter that I ocassionally use with celery, too.  Almonds are also good.  I'm sure there's many more ideas to come.

never had hummus before.  I'll have to look into that one.  almonds are good but very high in calories, same with peanuts.  I even tried soy nuts, but to much salt.  I seem to have lost my taste for raw veggies.

I have been buying the nabisco 100 calorie snacks. They are a little expensive, but they give me a limit.
I have no control.
This way, I feel like I ate the whole bag
