Graham crackers is good for a snack, too.

I usually don't eat a snack unless I need more calories. Then I usually opt for fat free ice cream or a bag of 100 cal. almonds.

Thank you all for your replies and so quick at that. I appreciate that. Exercised my butt off today but stil caved in with a cookie or two with my sf cappucino. That was before I read all these great replies. I will get back to you all as to how successful I have been.

Hey Frannie: Good suggestions: I do like hummus a lot and even have a spinach artichoke one. The veggies you mentioned sound good too. I also like sf jello and choc pudding with a little sf cool whip, don't exactly know why I got away from that. Too many goodies in the house that should not have been there.

I too like the 100 calorie bags of popcorn. If not that, then I try to eat fruit. One of my favorites is frozen grapes. They are so refreshing in this hot weather.

Oh yeah, the Edys Frozen Strawberry FruitBars ARE awesome! But sometimes I just want a bit more so will have the Sugar-Free Angel Food Cake (120 calories/slice-big) with a cup of fresh strawberries that have been sitting in Splenda till they make their own juice! YUM!!! Gina

I like Edy's strawberry frozen fruit bars. 80 cal. I save for that cool-me-down treat.

This time of the year my favorite snack is a bowl of fresh strawberries, add a tablespoon of fat free cream cheese and a package of french vanilla flavored splenda!

I am a big fan of Activia, the drink and yogurt, so I sometimes SAVE that till last with a bit of flax seed. Maybe some grapes, rice cakes, leftover bits of this and that. Just keep it small. A cuppa tea can do it for me, too. Surprise yourself!

Sugar free popsicle or sugar free jello with sugar free whipped topping are my favorites right now.

Believe it or not, adding an evening snack is one thing I've done to help me lose weight. I always used to think it was a bad thing, and just didn't do it. Now I plan for it, and using the nutrition tracker, I can tell if I need more protein for the day, etc.
I like all the things already listed in this thread, fruit smoothies, and with the hot weather we've had lately, I've been really enjoying the occasional Skinny Cow ice cream treat - yum! That's not the highest nutritional value choice, but definitely helps keep me from feeling deprived when I'm around others eating the diet-busting version.

If you plan for a snack you can eat it guilt-free. I love the 100 calories bags of popcorn, homemade fruit salad or a granola bar and a piece of fruit.

Late night snacking is definitely a challenge. I like hummus and veggies, I use snap peas, baby carrots and bell pepper strips. I also like sugar free jello with a little cool whip on top.

Hey everyone: I just checked back into SP after a very long absence. I am having the most problem with after dinner snacks so can anyone suggest some besides going to the meal planner section. Thanks so much. I am doing much better with exercise than with late night snacking.
