- Corn thins with a portions of laughing cow cheese or cottage cheese and a scraping of pesto
- Rice crackers and salsa
- Small tin of tuna
- Dry biscuits (my favourite are Vita-Weats)
- Weight Watchers bars or biscuits (the Black Forest bars are soooo yummy and contain 6.9g of fibre per bar)
- Hard boiled eggs
- Salad
- Low-cal hot chocolate
- Yoghurt

There are plenty more that I can't think of right now, I'm sure there's probably a tonne of other threads about snacks...maybe do a search?

Hi Anthony,

Have you tried varying the fruit you have? Have dragon fruit or lychees every so often instead of apples or pears.
Buy some berries and blend with skim milk. yummy.
cut up some snow peas, carrot, capsicum and brocolini and have with cottage cheese or another dip is lite sour cream mixed with italian herbs, tastes yummy with the raw veg.
If you want something completely away from fruit and veg then maybe some of the weight watchers snacks, the choc mousse is to die for (still not as good as my mums but ) or yogurt....
You can buy flavoured corn thins, i love the salt and vinigar (actually scrap that - its salt!)
plain corn thins with vegimite on top.
vitawheats with vegimite

Thats just some thoughts. Now if you'll excuse me i'm off to get more snow peas, yum!

I love the corn thins. I have them with just vegemite. Tuna with low fat mayo. Ham and salad. Love love them

What about dried fruit? I like a mix of dried apricots, apple & cranberries.
Seaweed rice crackers with low fat Tzatziki dip (Tam got me on to this!!)
Carrot sticks
red grapes
pita crisps
vita weats with avocado & cucumber
low fat babybel
low fat rice pudding

thats all I can think of at the moment

Whenever I start feeling hungry at work, ill have a hot tea or milo. That usually cures my sweet tooth. I dont use sugar, but I have 2 equal, which I have come to like more than sugar.

... Oh and Le Rice is really yummy!
Its around 600kj but i swear tastes WAY worse than that. The caramel flavour is the best!
